Sticking to it

Absolutely, totally determined to get fit, lose weight and be visibly healthy in 2005? Here's some help.

WRAP IT UP

Watching your carbs? No need to omit Mexican meals with new Fat Flush Tortillas. High in protein and fiber (5 grams each!), these nutty-flavored tortillas are made without oils, sweeteners or baking powder. From French Meadow, $3/8 tortillas. 877.669.3278; www.frenchmeadow.com

Koalas and Crocs and Snakes, Oh My!

Two moms got together and created a line of organic kids' snacks, then packed them in backpack-ready single-serving containers. The result: Python Pretzels, Oatmeal Raisin Crocodile Cookies and more, all made without trans fats or genetically modified ingredients. From Healthy Handfuls, $1.29/1.5 oz. 800.859.8911; www.healthyhandfuls.com

Creme de la Chai

Check out this new reduced-carb chai: It's thick and spicy and full of rich flavor--"the espresso of teas" said one tester. Each serving clocks in at 15 grams of carbs instead of the standard 23. From Pacific Chai, $8/16 oz. 888.882.4248; www.pacificchai.com

Beans Be Gone

Soy smoothies without a beany aftertaste? If you thought it was impossible, think again. These tangy and delicious smoothies have fewer calories and sugars than a regular yogurt. Available in four flavors including our fave: raspberry. From Silk, $1.69/10 oz. 800.488.9283; www.silkissoy.com
