"Smart Swap!": Dairy Queen

Saturday November 29, 2008
Time for a smart swap, an easy switch that will save you lots of calories!

Who doesn't love an ice cream run on the weekend? I know I do! But drinking your ice cream fix can do you a lot more damage that helping yourself to a small serving of the regular stuff.

Case in point: At Dairy Queen, swap a medium chocolate malt milkshake for a half cup of DQ chocolate soft serve to save an astounding 720 calories!
