Enjoy a south-of-the-border twist with fewer calories. |
|
Mexican food is wonderful in the summertime with an ice-cold cerveza or an oversized salt-rimmed Margarita. Who wouldn’t love some tacos smothered with cheese and guacamole, covered in sour cream?
Well…maybe Mexican food isn’t that great an option in the summertime when you have a bathing suit to fit into. Worry not, beachgoers, we’ve got a healthy, delicious alternative to high-calorie, south-of-the-border-fare using Starkist Creations’ Sweet and Spicy Tuna. Try it out at your next fiesta. This is anything but your basic can of albacore. |

– 1 (5-ounce) pouch StarKist Creations Sweet & Spicy Tuna
– 1 (15-ounce) can black beans
– 8-ounces low-fat ranch dressing

– 1 (10-ounce) package frozen whole kernel corn, thawed
– 1 (16-ounce) jar salsa

If you eat a lot of ice cream, try moving to lighter sorbets for the summer. The pure flavors are more in keeping with the spirit of the summer, especially if you buy artisan flavors bursting with seasonal fresh fruit. Sorbet has fewer calories, and the absence of milk or cream makes it fat-free and cholesterol-free (although some products are milk sherbets, made with a bit of dairy—read the label). Plus, the pretty colors look jewel-like when served in a martini glass or wine goblet.

A tasty new snack for milk chocolate lovers. |
|
Remember Chunky, the trapezoidal chunk of milk chocolate packed with nuts and raisins? Nestlé still makes it, but it’s been improved upon by Lindt. The company has just released a Raisin & Nuts bar with hazelnuts and almonds, as part of its Classic Recipe line.
The creamy Swiss milk chocolate, crunchy nuts and chewy raisins hit the spot. That the bar is made in a flat, scored 4.4-ounce size instead of one big chunk enabled us to enjoy it with our afternoon latte over a period of several days.
