It’s Friday! Treat day!
This week I give you 20 tasty treats (each 150 calories or less). As a general rule, I don’t spend much time counting calories or grams of fat, but I thought it would be fun to see what kind of treats you can get for 150 calories. It’s more than you might think!

Yum! What is in the banana chocolate smoothie, if I may ask?
Where is the recipe for the chocolate banana smoothie with coconut? I’d love to make that.
I love your “end of the week treats” what a great idea!!!
Thanks, Mom!
@ Andrea and Alison….yes that smoothie is so tasty! 4oz low-fat or fat-free chocolate milk or 4oz plain low-fat or fat-free milk with 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, plus 2 oz plain low-fat Greek yogurt, few banana slices (whip all that together) and top with sprinkle of shredded coconut and a few dark chocolate chips. That is the 150 calorie version.
I want to make that chocolate banana smoothie, I think the baby would REALLY enjoy that!!
