I just want a little something after dinner!
It’s natural to want something after a meal. What we are really craving is a “taste transition,” which is a change in flavor to help our mind & taste buds feel “done” eating.
Instead of letting after-dinner nibbling sabotage you, go for one of these 50-calorie (or less!) after-dinner treats…
1. Mint Tea w/ Honey (45 cals)
1 cup warm peppermint tea + 2 tsp honey

3. Air-Popped Popcorn w/ Vinegar & Sea Salt (45 cals)
