From Zero to Hero

It's hard to beat an ice cold Coca-Cola while out supporting your favorite local pizza joint but let's face it, with the calories in the Coca-Cola (including both refills), you are racking up some serious calories just on your beverage.  So, without promoting a "zero calorie diet" because we all know those don't work, I wanted to start a list that is comprised of my favorite food or drinks that contain zero (or almost zero) calories.  So, I'll start out with a few and you can take it:

1. Water - drink it often.  drink it long!
2. Yellow Mustard - when I'm tempted to spread a thick layer of Miracle Whip on a sandwich, I always think about substituting some calorie free yellow mustard.
3. Spicy Brown Mustard - if you like a little more zing, try it with spicy brown
4. Clementine - this tiny orange is easy to peal and only weights in at 30 calories, not to mention it's packed with other great nutrients.
5. Banana Peppers - this "nearly calorie free food" is a great way to spice up a sandwich or salad
6. Herbal Tea - at about 2 calories per cup, this is a great substitute for your favorite fancy coffee drink.  And try a mint or fruit flavor to resist adding any sweetener.
7. Raspberries - This rich colored food is dense in essential nutrients and at only 50 calories for an entire cup, makes a great mid-afternoon snack.

What are some of your favorite zero or nearly zero calorie foods, snacks and drinks?
