Yummy and Cheap Holiday Treats

guardup

I'd love to get a thread going on holiday treats that are cheap to cheat with.

Here is my FAVORITE:

Trader Joe's Sipping Chocolate & 3/4 cup Skim Milk

Nutrition: 149 Calories, SIX grams of Fiber, EIGHT grams of Protein, 25% of your Calcium, 15% of your Iron, ONE gram of fat and NO Cholesterol.

This isn't just the most decadent tasting chocolate drink you've ever had... it's GOOD for you! No idea how they make it taste so good without all the fat.

I was so blown away by the taste (blind taste test: I would have guessed 400 Calories and tons of saturated fat), that we are going out to buy a case of this stuff. It's seasonal and they stop carrying it in January.

Another good one:

Trader Joe's Roasted Seaweed Snack: 60 calories for the entire package. Excellent source of fiber and lower in sodium than potato chips. I use these to satiate my craving for salty snacks (chips, etc).

Anyone else have some favorites to pass on?

Thanks for posting this! I am a salty snack person so I'll have to stop in this weekend and try some of those! The chocolate drink sounds great too!
