Crystal Light Sugar-Free Drink Mix + Fat-Free Plain Greek Yogurt

PER SERVING (half an On-The-Go packet + 6 oz. yogurt): 105 calories, 0g fat, 80mg sodium, 7g carbs, 0g fiber, 6g sugars, 18g protein -- PointsPlus® value 2*

OMG. Why didn't we think of this sooner?! Just mix a serving of the powdered drink mix (about 1/2 tsp.) into a 6-oz. cup of the yogurt (Fage ROCKS!), and mix, mix, mix. (Then mix some more.) Once the color is uniform, spoon away!

Loving all this good information

And amen to the portion thing...I'm one that normally would say "I can't have *insert favorite food here*" and then get depressed, and then eat tons of that same food, beat myself up and (you know the rest of the cycle).

It makes such a difference when I say, yes...I can have that food and simply watch the amount.

Scoote and I went to the movies the other night. Instead of eating the movie popcorn loaded in butter and a diet coke (both not great choices), I smuggled in (yes, I admit it

) a Sobe Life Water and a sandwich size zip lock bag of Smart Food cheese popcorn. At that size, it was only about 130 calories.

Not only did I get to enjoy a little snack at the movie, but I didn't feel guilty (or sick to my stomach) when we left.
