Saturday "Smart Swap!": A Dairy Queen Do

From Jennifer R. Scott, About.com Guide   June 27, 2009

Summertime is just not summertime without a few ice cream treats. My local Dairy Queen happens to be on the way to the school I attend making it ever-so-convenient and oh-so-tempting to stop for a nice cold, creamy splurge. (Especially when the mercury tops out at the high 90s!)

Recently this smart switch saved more than a few calories ... it saved the day! (Had I not done it, I'd have consumed enough calories to comprise the calories of two... count them, two full meals! Yikes!)

So without further ado, check out this Saturday's "Smart Swap!": At Dairy Queen, swap a medium chocolate malt for a half cup of chocolate soft serve to save 720 calories.
