Keep Your Diet Rite with Lite Bites in the New Year
Calorie Counters Love Athens® Mini Fillo Shells
CLEVELAND – January 8, 2007 – It is a fair bet that “losing weight” will be among 2007’s New Year’s resolutions. Athens® Mini Fillo Shells allow just the right balance of guilty pleasure meets healthful eating, so people can stay on their diets.
The bite-size shells made of flaky, flavorful fillo dough have no cholesterol or trans fat and are significantly lower in fat, calories and sodium than puff pastry shells.
They are fully baked and fresh frozen, so all people need to do is fill and serve to provide a crispy tasty sensation that will blow away their taste buds… but not their diets.
The possibilities for health-conscious Mini Fillo Shell munching are endless. Fruit cocktail and low-fat cottage cheese team up for flavorful, but healthful Lite Bites.
All-fruit raspberry spread with sliced peaches and a smidgen of syrup makes a delicious, nutritious Peach Melba. Or create crunchy Chicken Veronique Cups with grapes, cubed cooked chicken and lemon yogurt.
Satisfy the snacking urge with sliced fresh fruit and apple jelly or chopped raw veggies and low-calorie Ranch or Italian dressing. When you are ready to splurge, treat yourself to a crispy fillo shell filled with a big spoonful of frozen yogurt topped with granola.
There’s just no limit to the ways that Mini Fillo Shells from Athens help people count their calories – deliciously!
