Snackin' Sexy
“Maybe the past is like an anchor holding us back. Maybe you have to let go of who you were to become who you will be.” – Carrie Bradshaw, “Sex and The City”
Helloooo, Lover. We’ve been waiting oh-so-long for your return. Clearly, your sadistically short 30-minute episodes devoured on the small screen didn’t satisfy our desires. Now we get 90 minutes in one sitting! Yesss. But listen up, movie-going maven: Whether you rendezvous with Carrie, et al tonight or take a rain check, we suggest ditching the nasty concession snacks of the past and nibbling on these healthy treats at the box office.
Prada & Popcorn: While you drool over Carrie’s Prada pumps (how the hell does she walk forty city blocks in those puppies?), pop some air popped popcorn, sans butter or salt. With just 31 calories per cup, you can munch throughout the entire flick without ingesting the usual 1,640 calories and (get ready) 76 grams of fat found in a large movie theater popcorn.
Berry Sexy: To satisfy your fruit fetish, sub those waxy squares of Starbursts with Peeled Snack’s dried cherries, mangos, and bananas - all with beautifying antioxidants and Vitamin C. What could be better than chowing down to naturally improve our skin’s collagen? Mr. Big in his skivvies, that’s what.
The Bubbly: We admit it – we've all had our Diet Coke days. But once we found out that artificial sweeteners might be linked to (gasp) weight gain and soda to osteoporosis, we’ve put down the soft drinks and raised a glass to Pellegrino and still water instead. Won't you join us?
