in case you want to know how to make the snack..it's a cup of skim ricotta, a teaspoon of vanilla, 3 splenda, tablespoon of natural peanut butter, tablespoon of sugar free chocolate syrup (or coco). blend well (i used a food processor). chill. this makes a lot (for one). i had 2 oz for snack and i probably have at least 5 servings left. You can make this with any flavor if you're not down with peanut butter.
