i need a spicy snack

chalaivy

anyone know of a good spicy spicy snack that's okay-ish...like at all...calorie wise... I miss hot Cheetos but one serving is out of the question, doesn't even touch my cravings. I used to eat a whole big bag at a time, terrible habit that I got into..

I'm getting ready to order spicy pumpkin seeds- the cals and the macros were good on the label, the reviews were great but I can't tell u for sure, I didn't try them my self, could be an option for u as well

Mini rice cakes are pretty thin....they crunch more like potato chips

Do you like pop chips? They have a flaming hot version.

Frigo Habanero Cheese Sticks. They're like 90 calories. Or Sargento Pepperjack cheese sticks...

You should try roasted chickpeas. Plenty of recipes to make them yourself. I use paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, and olive oil. I also start from dried form, soaking and cooking them myself so that any of the crap added to canned chickpeas is avoided. Great snack and it fills you up quickly. Can be a bit dry so don't eat too many at once.

@lemonychild oh that sounds pretty good actually... I would assume theyre decent protein too? Where do you order from?

I've heard that some people love roasted chickpeas. I've never made them or tried them myself, only heard good things. Since you can make them at home, you can use whatever spices or flavor profile you want. Not sure of calories, but at least you'd be getting protein.

Example recipe: http://www.chowhound.com/recipes/spicy-oven-roasted-chickpeas-30368 obviously you can adjust if you like different spices or levels of spices.

I recommend making your own jerky. Get the butcher is slice a beef round or shoulder pretty thin. Take it home and marinade for a few hours. If you like things hot, add it some heat. I like to use a few drops of liquid smoke, soy, crushed garlic and then something extra for heat (if I am so inclined). I put them on an elevated rack, grind some black pepper over them and make sure the bottom of the rack has foil. Pop into a 225 deg over and leave it door slightly open. Come back about 4 hours later, presto... meat snacks!

Wasabi roasted seaweed. Not the same sort of spicy, but might satisfy your craving.

Kallo smoked paprika rice cakes (not sure if you get them in the US but there must be an equivalent brand/product if not).

Air popped popcorn with Franks Red Hot Sauce on it.

Anything with Franks Red Hot Sauce!

Small lowfat corn tortilla, 1 oz of shredded lite cheese, jalapeno rings- tuck under broiler until the cheese is melted and the jalapenos start to crisp. Spicy, satisfying, and around 120-130 cals depending on the brand of cheese and tortilla.

I use Franks Red Hot on a lot of my food. Also you can try corn chips and salsa.

• Sharwood's Spicy Puppodums - tortilla sized, crispy, slightly spicy, 20 calories, not even 4g carbs each (made with chickpea flour, so there's even a gram or two of protein).
• Crispy chickpeas. I especially like Saffron Road (brand) Bombay Spice flavor.
• Wildbrine brand Bold Dill Pickles.
• A serving of cottage cheese with 1/2tsp each cumin & turmeric, and a hefty dose of hot sauce (ideally smoked hot sauce, but you can use regular hot sauce plus smoked paprika).
• Kim chi.
• Various spicy pickled vegetables - check out the pickle area in a larger grocery store or health food store, including the refrigerated pickles.
• This recipe for Doritos-flavored Popcorn - up the chili powder/cayenne until it makes you weep with happiness.

Frog Ranch Spicy Dill Pickles are about 5 calories per serving.

I recently discovered Buffalo Cauliflower Bites. Yum!

I end each day lately with 1/2 of a single piece of Harold's Gormay Texicun Purdy Hot Pickuls for 1 calorie and 150 mg sodium. Sublime.

I've been adding a lot of jalapeños to my diet. Delicious little veggies.

I'm with the wasabi pea crowd for horseradishy hot. Hard boiled eggs with a big dash of Tabasco.

NikkiMichelleS

Add Sriacha hot sauce to most anything!

Also: canned sardines, oysters, etc (seafood) in spicy sauce
Spicy chickpeas, as others stated. I do roast my own, easy peasy!
Harissa is a wonderful thick, spicy red pepper sauce; it's middle Eastern so it goes well mixed in with hummus, makes for a great dip.
Hot beef jerky (peppered, or spicy sweet varieties)

Yummy yummy keep them coming!

I bake chicken breast for the week and weigh 2oz In baggies to snack on. (I don't sit down for big meals). You could do that and then add hot sauce to them and get ur protein at the same time!
