    Low(er) Calorie Cracker Alternatives?

    I made some tapenade as a topping for steak, and it was awesome! But my tapenade recipe gave me more than I needed for the steak recipe. So I'm trying to decide what is the best way to use it up enjoyably so it doesn't go to waste.

    My go-to crunchies are raw veggies and pork rinds. I'm not really enjoying it with the veggies - they seem to go better with something creamier. This is more salsa-ish. And the pork rinds are too salty. So I picked up some whole grain rice cakes. Those are good, but I'm open to other ideas. Suggestions?

      I love Wasa bread light rye crackers. Good with guacamole, salsa, Greek yogurt. Only 30 cal per sheet.

      Corn Thins
      Ryvita wholegrain crisp bread
      Ryvita Rye an Oat Bran
      Finn Crisp original

      minimal ingredients, fibre and all 3 are pretty low sodium.

      I love the Back To Nature brand - I came across it at my local Whole Foods store. My boyfriend HATES wheat crackers (or anything healthy lol), but he actually loved these and asked for more! I'm sure one of the flavors would work great with your tapenade.

      I would go for those tiny toasts. And yum..olive tapenade. Love it! You could also use it as a sandwich spread with hummus, cucumber, tomato in a pita.

      Trader Joe's Everything crackers. I can't believe how many constitute a serving. (They might be a little salty though.)

      You can always make your own "crackers" by toasting thin breads such as pita or tortillas. I also would say that popcorn is a great low-cal salty snack option that people often forget about. Even a buttery-flavored popcorn set can be decently low-caloried if you only eat 1-2 cups of it. Or you can get the ones that are 100 calories for each bag.

      This other option might seem strange too but I also liked munching on turkey pepperoni slices. They are surprisingly low-calorie if you eat 15 or so pieces (probably around 70 calories).

      I'm a big fan of corn thins. Way tastier than rice cakes.

      This sounds like a great idea. You could even bake them if you wanted something crispy.
