Snack on this...

It's tough enough to eat well this time of the year, but if you're looking for a little indulgence without the guilt, we've got you covered. Next time you're looking for something sweet and creamy, give this a try:

Mix in one scoop of your favorite flavored protein powder (can you say chocolate?) into 6 to 8 ounces of plain lowfat yogurt. This treat will give you a whooping 30 grams of protein in under 250 calories. Plus you'll get some positive fats, plenty of calcium and the benefits of live active cultures like L. acidophilus.

If you really want a treat, then spend the extra dough for Fage Greek yogurt, which has a thick, creamy consistency you would never expect from a lowfat product. It's not even fair to compare this stuff to other yogurt; it's in its own league.

Finally, don't stress about going 'no fat' on this one, even if it does save you a couple calories. Recent research has actually found better protein absorption in higher fat versions of related dairy products versus their fat free counterparts.
