Cookie Monster Cures

What do you do when you get a massive craving for oatmeal chocolate chip cookies? Specifically, Uncle Eddie's vegan variety? (Trust me... They're gooood.)

Well, you just can't indulge those cravings every time, so you have to outsmart them. Here's a handy little recipe that will help you do just that. One word: popcorn. If you make it correctly, you can have about as much as you want and never top out on your calorie limits.

Here's the trick: air pop the popcorn so that you use no oil to prepare it. Then, drizzle with about a Tablespoon of melted Smart Balance topping. You'll get a great dose of fiber along with some heart healthy fatty acids. Another option is to mix in some Craisins and dark chocolate chips (no more than a 1/4 cup of each) to get your sweet-tooth fix.

Plus, a cup of tea can often settle your tummy when you feel like you need a little something more to satisfy you.

Stay tuned for more helpful tips. :)
