David wrote in to give us some new products that are healthier alternatives to snacks. He went down the ice cream aisle and made note of what different companies are calling the same thing. These products have either 1/2 fat or added bacteria or both to aid digestion.
Breyer’s Smooth and Dreamy (with new packaging)
Hood Churned frozen yogurt with Live and Active Cultures
Turkey Hill Cold Churned with Live and Active Cultures
Friendly’s Smooth and Churned
Stop and Shop (a store brand where I am) Churn Style
Edy’s Slow Churned Yogurt Blends with Live and Active Cultures
David also found Kraft Live Active cheese.

He also found that Tropicana has a OJ that has half of the sugar removed from it. Less sugar = less calories, thumbs up. However, he reports that it does not taste like OJ.
Tropicana just did a packaging redesign and the OJ is now “Trop 50″ in the blue font.

Listener Tania from Abbotsford, BC sent in this great recipe for a light, refreshing treat – she got it from a Kraft recipe magazine.
Mocha Freeze
Ingredients:
ice cubes
2 tbsp frozen COOL WHIP Light Whipped Topping
1 pkg. (4-serving size) JELL-O Chocolate Fat Free Instant Pudding
1 Tbsp. Instant Coffee
skim milk (approximately 1-2 cups)
Make It:
Add pudding mix and Cool Whip to a blender. Add ice to just under 5 cups. Add milk; cover.
BLEND on high speed until smooth.
POUR into glasses. Serve immediately.
Serves 4, 1.25 cup servings. <100 calories per serving
Try different flavours than the chocolate for a different taste, like switching the chocolate for vanilla and strawberries/banana for the coffee.
