    Pop chips are the best, cheecha's (I think thats what they are called) are good too, an air popped treat. I buy those in health food stores, (Canada)

    Trader joes has veggie chips that are VERY tasty... $1.99 per bag and then i put the correct serving sizes in baggies so they are easy to grab and go

    I have been using prepacked Baby Carrots of late, which are around 25 calories per bag. On occasion I have eaten the Natural White Cheddar Cheetos which is 150 calories per serving, BUT you get 32 pieces, which is almost triple the amount of regular chips.

    I really like apple slices or celery with humus for crunchy snacks. Kettle chips are not super heavy in calories either.

    Some people may say ewww, that's ok :) Anyway I have dehydrated mushrooms and zuccini and added a dash of garlic salt to them. I've gotten pre -teens to eat them so they can't be all bad. :laugh: :tongue:

    Baby Carrots and if you need to mask the taste a dab of ranch on the side!

    Homemade zucchini chips!!!

    Slice zucchini extremely thin (about thickness of a quarter). Spray pan with nonstick spray such as Smart Balance Omega. Lay out zucchini slices, sprinkle with a SMALL amount of salt and another quick spray of oil. Bake at 225 for about 1.5 hours. DELICIOUS.

    Deep fried potato products are really best avoided. there are lots of nice crunchy healthier snacks you can have instead.:smile:

    Slice a potato in wedges, and boil in water with salt, until soft. Drain the potatoes. Cover them in a little oil Then broil the wedges. They'll be crisp and have a nice color. Add spices of your preference. Buon appetite!
