With the holidays fast approaching and festive get-togethers on the horizon, temptation will be at an all-time high. To help keep you on track and not sabotage your efforts to whittle your waistline, we’ve created a few fun alternatives to help you substitute “this treat” for “that treat” while still having a jolly ol’ time!
The best part? These treats are perfect for sharing and make great stocking stuffers.

Eat This: Honey Almond Crisp FiberSnacks!™
Not That: Honey roasted peanuts
Boasting six grams of high-quality, hunger-curbing undenatured whey and milk protein from New Zealand dairy cows, each 150-calorie peanut-free FiberSnacks!™ bar provides a sweet and savory filling fiber alternative to nutrient-deficient snacks covered in salt or sugar.
