Looking for New Snack Food

MysticRealm

I am trying to find a new snack food to add to my roster. Right now my main snacks are yogurt with frozen raspberries and a small apple dipped in a touch of cinnamon sugar. I like my snacks between 75-200 calories.

Whats your favorite snacks under 200 calories?

I like frozen blueberries, cherries and peaches. I like to freeze a container of yogurt. Carrot sticks, a pouch of tuna, an egg.

Thanks for the replies guys. Wanted to add, if you can put calorie counts for the snacks that would be awesome!

Special K chips are the best! they are 110 calories for 27 chips and they actually taste good! also Jello smores pudding for 110, its not as filling as the chips but good if you're craving something sweet

Air popped Popcorn...sprayed with Popcorn (butter flavor-no calories) Spritzer! 3 Tbsp. popcorn = low calories :happy:

majope

Half a cup of Chex Mix (original) 120 calories

Half cup of low fat cottage cheese + half cup of canned fruit 125-180 calories depending on fruit

Slice of 80-calorie whole-grain toast spread with 1 tablespoon peanut butter or Nutella 175 or 180 calories respectively

Lmpantaleao

organic Blue tortilla chips 130 calories + organic salsa 15 calories+ two tbsps of reduced fat shredded cheese 27 calories= 172 calories
& if you have a bit of wiggle room on your calorie count add 1 tbsp of light sour cream or greek yogurt..Instant nachos

Granola bars (Quaker Oats are around 90cal each)

Fruit snacks (Mott's fruit snacks are made with real fruit, it's pretty good too!)

Special K snacks (they're all around 100cal each, all designed to help lose weight)

FiberOne granola bars (really filling and 90cal, plus it's got lots of fiber!)

Skinny Pop (it's popcorn that is 39cal per cup. Delicious and 100% organic)

Tortilla corn chips (about 150cal per serving, definitely a good choice)

Guacamole (might have more calories, but it's really good for you!)

Celery with a wedge of laughing cow cheese. It is roughly 50 calories.

Lifting_Knitter

Honey roasted sunflower seeds, 40 g 1/4 cupish 180 calories.

I seriously miss chips and dip..but have replaced them with Breton Minis (snack crackers) in Garden Vegetable flavor (140 calories for 29 crackers)..with a wedge of Laughing Cow Light Blue Cheese or French Onion..35 calories a wedge. Makes an awesome snack in the evening and totally takes care of my chips/dip craving.

I LOVE ALMONDS! I eat 1/4 cup EVERYDAY! Plain or in yogurt is good! Also granny smith apples with sugar free caramel sauce...mmm!

Chocolate Vita top muffin tops. In the frozen food aisle and only 100 calories. Actually I eat them for breakfast as well and put 1 pat of butter on top. Yum! Under 200 calories and keeps me full until lunch. Also, no additives or preservatives.

Oh, also Popchips! you can have 23 of them for 120 calories. They are like potato chips, but no fat. Not fried, not baked. Popped. They come in lots of flavors and also have no additives or preservatives.

Jello sugar free pudding scooped into a plain ice cream cone... zero sugar and 70 calories total. If you use chocolate pudding (my favorite) only 80 calories total!

I am a pinterest freak and found this super yummy low cal recipe that had three of my favorite things in it....bananas, oatmeal, and chocolate! I took the recipe and made 38 mini muffins that are only 70 (well 66.9) calories per mini muffin.

Here is the link...enjoy!!

1/2 cup of Fage Greek Yogurt (nonfat) (65 cal) + 8 pieces frozen Mango chunks (40ish cals) = approx 105 cals

1/4 cup of Ann's House Soy Engergy Blend Nut Mix = 150 cals

Trader Joe mini soy ice cream sandwiches = 90 cal

Thin edamame crackers from Trader Joes - 38 crackers = 120 cals

2 cups Skinny Pop Popcorn = 80 calories

Fage 6 oz nonfat plan yogurt (100 cal) + 1 tbsp sugar free raspberry preserves (10 cal) = 110 cal

Veggies and hummus... 1/4 cup of hummus is about 140 calories (Sabra brand, anyway). I like to eat it with carrots, broccoli, red pepper, whatever I have on hand. 3 medium carrots are around 75 calories. 1 medium red pepper is about 30 calories, and around a cup of broccoli clusters (65g) is about 20 calories, so you can have a good mix of veggies and a decent amount of hummus for around 200 calories.

Cottage cheese, 1/2 cup is about 100 calories with 14g protein, I often stir in applesauce or chunks of fruit.

Kefir, 1 cup is about 140 calories, 11g protein.

1/2 c of Stonyfield farm Banilla yogurt with 1 tbsp of peanut butter stirred in, 200 calories. Or 6 oz of plain greek yogurt (fage) with a tbsp of peanut butter and a tbsp of honey, around 250 calories for ~21g protein.

I would also second the roasted chickpeas. You can make them spicy/savory, or sweet, depending on what you are in the mood for.

You can see I love my protein >.> I like to have high protein snacks, though, because then they tend to keep me more full. I love popcorn and other snacks like that, but I get hungry a lot sooner.

ETA: Also bananas. Yum.... sometimes I dip them in my greek yogurt/honey/peanut butter mix.

Thanks for the replies guys! I will have to try some of these!

wasabi peas--they run from 100 to 120 calories per ounce, depending upon the brand. You can eat them one at a time so they last a good while!

Be careful... a calorie is not a calorie

MysticRealm

Thanks, though to me a calorie is a calorie in regards to weightloss.
