Skinny Fridge: Stock Up with These Eats

Slimming down is as easy as keeping your kitchen free of bad foods.  Nutritionist Robyn Flipse, M.S., R.D., shares her favorite fridge-fillers to stay satisfied and slim. Stock up and always have these eats on hand!

Low-Fat Dips, Dressings, and Spreads

Potentially dangerous food fatigue is brought on by eating boring food. A varied selection of low-fat dips and dressings in your fridge will keep your taste buds stimulated and make it easier to get those five servings a day of fruits and vegetables down. Try any of the Sabra Mediterranean dips, spicy salsas, or a yogurt-based dressing to get started! 


Hint: Try a spicy wasabi dip for veggies, or a sweet yogurt and sugar-free jam dip for fruit!

Rotisserie-Cooked Turkey or Chicken Breast

Keep a Tupperware container filled with precooked chicken or turkey breast in easy reach. These are convenient sources of protein that keep your blood sugar from dipping and your appetite from rising. Eat them cold or reheated; sliced, diced, or cut into strips; alone or on salads and in fajitas.

Mini Versions of Your Favorite Drinks

Just because you're cutting back on calories doesn't mean you have to cut out everything you love. Just look for smaller-sized versions of your favorite drinks. For soda lovers, Coca-Cola offers a new 90-calorie Coca-Cola Mini can as an option.

Fat-Free Yogurt

Protein-rich dairy foods have been shown to aid in weight loss, so try starting your day with a yogurt parfait. Layer your favorite fat-free yogurt (try f-- e  0%, which is thick and super-creamy) with berries and crushed nuts or granola.

Bonus tip: This makes a great dessert, too! Throw one in the freezer for real "frozen yogurt".
