Healthy SPICY snacks

Any suggestions for spicy snacks? I LOVE spicy jalapeno/habanero chips (Blair's Death Rain ones or spicy south asian cassava chips) but obviously those aren't any good for me but I need something to substitute. I crave something spicy to snack on all the time.

Help please!

    I haven't tried this but I bet there are some good extra spicy roasted chick pea recipes out there!

    Put whatever spice you want (chili powder, cayenne, cumin, taco seasoning, whatever!) on popcorn.


    ETA: Oooh, or on kale chips! I love kale chips with curry. Yummmm!

    Try wasabi covered peas. Watch serving size though.

    I was also going to say popcorn. I made a homemade barbecue powder and added cayenne to it. On plain popcorn, give a little blast of olive oil and sprinkle the seasonings on. It's really good, high in fiber, and relatively low in calories (as long as you only eat a couple cups)

    Also, Yumnuts makes a cajun cashew that's pretty spicy. Obviously, they're nuts, so pretty calorie dense, but also good for you. You just have to watch the serving size.
