What's your "healthy" junk food?

So I've discovered this wonderful little thing called "Chocolate Mousse Indulgence" by Jell-o. It's a whipped chocolate mousse that's sugar free. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Better yet, it's only 80 calories. Soooo that's my new "healthy" junk food. I understand it's not all that healthy considering there's fat and artificial sweeteners, but it's awesome when I'm craving chocolate (it's not like I eat it everyday). I top it with a little light whipped cream. :heart: it.

Just curious, what's the "healthy" junk food you reach for...?

  • The peanut butter cookie Larabar is my new candy bar. It's kinda high in calorie because it's nut based but I love one with a nice cup of unsweetened vanilla chai hot tea.. YUM!!!

    fiber one brownies (90 cals), trader joes soy cream ice cream sandwiches (90 cals), la tortilla/sonoma low carb tortillas (50-60 cals), light popcorn, simply lite low carb dark chocolate with almonds (1 square is less than 40cals), and fruit. lol i try to limit myself to 1-2 servings of fruit a day since its usually high in sugar. its like a desert to me.

    I like to get some nuts in my mouth. Wait, I didn't mean that.
  • PRETZEL M&Ms! They are the best if you are craving sweet and salty. 150 cals for a small pack :)

    I'm addicted to Chocolate Mug Cakes (92 calories) and Peanut Butter Mug Cakes (225 calories).
  • Kale with Newman's Own Lite Caesar dressing. I can eat that stuff three meals a day.

    And vodka soda.

    It depends on who you ask. I eat chips and salsa as a healthy snack, but an awful lot of people on MFP seem to think it's bad.

    I also sometimes eat low cal frozen treats.

    LOVE these too! I have the peanut butter chocolate kind. mmmmm.

    And PB2 is also AMAZING. I like to mix the chocolate kind into my protein shakes each morning. Chocolate peanut butter shake for breakfast- nothin better.

    I love skinny cow ice cream! Also a big fan of hagen daas sorbet (I love raspberry and mango flavors) and the Ben and Jerry's Blueberry cheesecake Greek frozen yogurt. The Froyo, is 200 calories for a half cup, but I can never eat more than a quarter cup at a time so it is a good treat for me!

    A healthier option to the chips- Wasa rosemary crispbread. It's only 70 calories for two slices (think the size of a graham cracker sheet). It's soooo yummy with salsa, without the chips calories

    Carrot sticks dipped in light vegetable cream cheese. It's like I'm at a party, only without all the inane small talk.
