 Slumber Party Treats
With your best pal or ten friends, enjoy these bone-healthy foods between the gossip and videos.

Versatile Veggie Dip: Season 1 cup of plain non-fat yogurt with dry ranch dressing mix or other dry herbs, such as basil or garlic. Add just enough for it to taste great! Presto, ready to dip with cut vegetables such as carrot sticks or broccoli.

Top baked tortilla chips with low-fat cheddar cheese and heat until melted. This slumber party sensation will keep your pals coming back for more.

Serve up tortillas, grated low-fat cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and salsa — for a south-of-the-border treat.

Melt low-fat cheese on a whole-wheat pita. Add apple slices.

Sip mugs of hot chocolate made with fat-free or low-fat milk.

Make a frozen treat by pouring fat-free or low-fat drinkable yogurt into a paper cup. Add a stick and freeze. Then, peel the cup, and voila!!

Wash it all down with a glass of fat-free or low-fat milk (with chocolate or strawberry flavor to make it extra yummy)! Lactose-free milk or a soy beverage with added calcium works too!
