Almond Breeze Almondmilk Nog

1/2 cup: 60 calories, 1g total fat (0g sat. fat), 75mg sodium, 12g carbs, 0g fiber, 11g sugars, 0g protein -- SmartPoints® value 3*

The holiday season is here, and it's all about NOG. This refrigerated almond-milk blend comes in both Classic and Vanilla Chai Spice (for those of us who like to mix things up a bit!). Both are super yummy and excellent swaps for the heavy eggnog that's standard this time of year. We'll be using them to make DIY nog lattes... Track down a carton ASAP!

BelGioioso Fresh Mozzarella Snacking Cheese

1 oz.: 70 calories, 5g total fat (3g sat. fat), 85mg sodium, <1g carbs, 0g fiber, 0g sugars, 5g protein -- SmartPoints® value 2*

This is the most unique cheese snack we've tasted in a long time! Each 1-oz. pack contains three perfect li'l balls of mozzarella. The portion control is a lifesaver, the stats are great, and the cheese itself is flavorful, fun, and satisfying. This fresh cheese snack is gonna make your day... Promise! Find it nationwide in the specialty cheese section of major retailers and independent markets.

Angie's Boom Chicka Pop Sweet & Spicy Popcorn

About 2 cups (28g): 140 calories, 8g total fat (0.5g sat. fat), 180mg sodium, 18g carbs, 2g fiber, 8g sugars, 1g protein -- SmartPoints® value 5*

We love a little heat with our sweet. The combination tastes amazing, and the spice keeps us from eating too much too fast! That's especially important with popcorn, a food that so many of us eat by the fistful. This snack is a delicious alternative to regular ol' kettle corn. Grab a bag (or several) ASAP... Perfect for holiday party snack tables!

Nestlé has discovered how to potentially reduce total sugar in their treats by up to 40 percent. Thanks, science!

WOW. This is pretty groundbreaking. Nestlé, a.k.a. the kings of chocolate, has found a way to restructure the crystals in natural sugar so their products could taste just as sweet but require less sugar than before! We're not even going to pretend we understand how they pulled it off, but we're thrilled that the science heads over there have figured it out. The new formulas are slated to roll out in 2018... We can't wait!
