Sorry i wasn't sure where this belonged. I saw them in a magazine the other day. They're little packets of yummy healthy snacks. Have white writing on on different coloured packaging. Completely forgot the name but I really want to try them.


If anyone knows would be soooo much appreciated. My memory is having an off day. My description of them isn't the best but i hope somebody knows.

Thanks, Amy :)

    That's not much to go on!

    What sort of snacks? Candy, cookies, fruit, nuts, etc.? Rough calorie estimate? Size of package? Sold in what country?

    Oh i forgot the main thing, they're all 100 or 200 calorie snacks. I know it's really bad description, why i can't seem to find them. Spent about an hour googling different things but no luck.

    In the U.S., these are marketed by Nabisco as "100 Calorie Snack Packs".

    There's nothing special about them. They are just tiny pre-packaged portions of their regular snack foods at highly inflated prices. If you like the concept, I'd buy the regular package and portion it out myself into ziplock bags or some other small containers.

    Ah i'm from the UK. These weren't like that. They were the kind of things you get in a graze box but in little packs. More for when i'm out in the day to keep me away from the vending machines. I stopped with the graze as too pricey. Might try just getting some little bags and making my own healthy snacks then, not a bad idea. Suppose one day i'll see them in the shops.

    What shop were you in when you saw them?

    I just re-read your post, do you remember what magazine it was?

    If it comes in a packet, it's probably not healthy. Try a piece of fruit instead.:smile:

    Were they fruit? My first thought was the "Peeled" snack packs. http://peeledsnacks.com/

    That's a pretty broad generic statement

    Depending on what quantifies a packet, so does meat, lol

    I agree. My dentist gets angry at fruit as well.
