Say cheese with Cupola Clouds

Like many women I know, I’m obsessed with cheese, so having wine and cheese parties with my girlfriends is a true test of my willpower. (I may be a dietitian, but, hey, I’m also human.) I look at the spread and know that each cube of Gouda (my fave) that I pop in my mouth is about 100 calories and 8 grams of fat. My friends sit around and have five or six pieces with crackers before dinner without knowing that they’re eating meal-worthy amounts of calories, plus loads of saturated fat. Finally, I discovered an acceptable substitute that won’t pile on the pounds: Cupola Clouds—crunchy, airy cloud-shaped snacks made with real cheese that satisfy my craving. There are two flavors: Parmesan pink peppercorn and smoked Gouda. They come 25 to a bag—which is a single serving, so you never have to worry about overindulging. The best part, even if you ate them all, you’d take in just 100 calories and 3 grams of saturated fat (plus 10 grams of protein). And the taste? A little piece of heaven. Party on, I say!

Pack ‘em up Besides enjoying Cupola Clouds with wine and friends, I keep a box of them in my bag—they’re a perfect substitute for croutons and cheese on a deli salad with lots of veggies.
