Hello, my fellow Munch-Moment Mouseketeers,

Enjoy,

SCALE BACK ON UNHEALTHY SNACKS AND DITCH THOSE CHIPS AND COOKIES FOR MORE CHOLESTEROL-FRIENDLY TREATS 

Sweets and snacks — like cakes and cookies, or crackers and potato chips — are often high in saturated fat and cholesterol. So overdoing it can quickly sabotage your healthy eating plan. Try replacing bad-for-you munchies with moderate amounts of low-fat goodies:

Angel food cake topped with fruit puree or fresh fruit slices

Fat-free or low-fat brownies, cakes, cheesecakes, cupcakes, and pastries

Fat-free or low-fat cookies like animal crackers, devil’s food cookies, fig and other fruit bars, ginger snaps, and vanilla or lemon wafers

Frozen low-fat or nonfat yogurt, fruit ices, ice milk, sherbet, and sorbet

Gelatin desserts — watch the whipped cream!

Graham crackers

Puddings made with 1 percent or fat-free milk

Just remember that while these treats may be low in fat, they probably aren’t low in calories. If you’re trying to control your weight as a way to improve your cholesterol, only eat these snacks occasionally — not every day.
