Shopping Tips
I love Milton’s Multigrain bread. Each slice has 110 calories, 1g fat, and 3g fiber. Most supermarkets sell it along with Trader Joe’s. I used Trader Joe’s organic reduced sugar preserves. Each tablespoon has 30 calories. Knott’s Light preserves would be another great choice. Reduced-fat whipped cream cheese comes in a tube versus a block of cream cheese.
