Healthy Hacks: Watching your sugar intake? Swap the chocolate candies with some stevia-sweetened chocolate chips! This recipe can easily be adjusted based on what you enjoy or have on hand. If you don’t like cashews, use pecans or almonds instead. Not a fan of raisins? Substitute another dried fruit like cranberries or blueberries. You can even incorporate a sprinkle of cinnamon for more low calorie flavor. Consult the Nutrisystem Grocery Guide for more details on how to count different ingredients on the program.
