Collingwood Gives the Thumbs Up
"These are all great options for sweet treats without very many calories," agrees Collingwood. "Most of these also don't have any nutritional value but that is fine to include in your discretionary calories for the day. Not everything we eat needs to have a ton of nutritional value. Sometimes we just need a treat."
