Okay so since Im also into Fitness and eating healthy Ive been compelled to start "Frugal & Fierce" Food and Fitness Fridays. Eating healthy and losing weight or staying fit can be a challenge. I will post tidbits and tricks that has helped and continues to help me with the ongoing challenge of staying fit.
Lets talk about dressing, if you are anything like me, I love Ranch dressing which is typically high in calories and fat but I DO NOT like the taste of "light" or reduced calorie versions. I recently discovered a yogurt based ranch dressing and I have to say that it was GOOD and I was shocked when I looked at the nutritional information. The brand that I tried was Bolthouse Farms which I purchased from Walmart. The added bonus is that it is better for you because it doesnt have any artificial flavors, high fructose corn syrup, added flavors and its gluten-free. There are several other brands also in which you can find just about anywhere you shop for grocery. There are also other flavors such as Feta Dill, Honey Mustard and Blue Cheese. Check out the comparison below.

If you love ranch or creamy dressings and dont want to compromise taste, go with a yogurt based dressing.
