Low Calorie Dairy Snacks – 100 Calories or Less
Sponsored Links
Beginning today I will be sharing with you a series on low calorie snack ideas. I wasn’t sure how to approach this. After some thought, I decided to give you the lists of suggested snacks by food group. That way if you are needing to supplement a menu with a little extra of one nutrient or another it will be much easier for you to come up with an idea quickly and easily. Image via Wikipedia I am starting with low calorie snacks for milk and milk products. All of my suggestions will have no more than 100 calories per serving. That should make it easy to incorporate the item into your diet as a snack or addition to a meal. Dairy products offer a good source of protein and calcium as well as other nutrients such as Vitamin D when a product is fortified. If you are unable or unwilling to drink milk or eat milk products then there are other ways to obtain these same nutrients. I’ll include suggestions for other sources in another article.
