A Healthier Alternative to Holiday Cookies

With the holidays in full swing, it might feel like you're being bombarded with desserts and treats from all directions! From all the goodies at the grocery store, to the baked goods left in the break room at work, to the array of treats at each holiday party - it can be difficult for even the most strong-willed person to restrain.

Every day there seems to be at least one instance where the holiday cookie monster is trying to tempt me. My solution? I drink a RightSize smoothie. Not only does it satisfy my sweet tooth, but it is designed to replace a main meal. I get to indulge without the calorie overload.

One of my favorite recipes is inspired by the rich and decadent flavors of the holidays. Try the below recipe and you'll feel just like Santa eating cookies and milk, without the worry about an expanding waistline:

   Holiday Cinnamon Cookies for Two
   1 scoop SkinniVanilli - 92.45 kcal
   6 oz. skim milk - 60.0 kcal
   2 graham crackers (31 g.) - 130 kcal
   1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
   6 ice cubes
---------------------------------------------------
282.45 kcal TOTAL or 142 calories per person

Remember, any time you're tempted by holiday treats, a RightSize smoothie can help keep you on track so you can reach your health and fitness goals no matter what time of year it is. You can even customize this recipe - try a different low-calorie cookie or another favorite spice. Feel free to cut the recipe in half if it's just for you, but sharing is caring during the holiday season.

Anyone else have a favorite smoothie recipe to share?
