Luckily, there is a way out for those who want to stay slim and trim yet enjoy something sweet. Life without desserts would be too dull and boring, wouldn’t it? Snacking can be healthy.

1. Fruit jelly

2. Smoothies
This is not the first post we have written to tell you how nice smoothies are. Let us remind you once again that green and fruit smoothies are nutritious yet low in calories.
