Simple Swaps for Summer

It's easy to savor your favorite summer flavors - and save on calories and fat when you make simple swaps. Here are a few things you can do to help your family eat healthier this summer.

Frozen Yogurt
Cool off this summer with frozen yogurt that can save you big on calories, fat and cholesterol over regular ice cream.

Cole Slaws and Potato Salads
Use Light Mayo or Light Olive Oil instead of traditional versions and save up to 40 calories and 4.5 grams of fat per serving!

Veggie Salads
Swap traditional coleslaw and potato salads for a sweet corn summer salad (check out our recipe!)

Chicken or Turkey Kebobs
By switching to poultry-based kebobs, you'll save calories and grams of fat per serving over that of beef kebobs.

Berries, Berries
Berries are in season! Make a yummy low-fat berry parfait using season sweet berries and low fat whipped cream! Yum!

Popcorn
Everyone loves to crunch - swap out fatty, oily potato chips with a lightly salted popcorn. Some microwave varieties even come in single serve packs, so you don't have to share!

Baby Carrots
Want your crunch with even less guilt, try some peeled baby carrots. They're ready to eat right out of the bag and are perfect on their own or with a light dressing or dip.

Light Salad Dressing/Dips
Swap high fat and high calorie laden dressings and dips for low fat varieties. The flavors are delicious! You can even use these instead of mayo on your sandwiches for some extra zip without the zap!
