    Some of these would work with coffee while some may not. Thought I'd offer all of them as ideas you might like...


    Jell-O Sugar Free Pudding in the refrigerated section... only 60 calories with a half Tablespoon of Natural Creamy PB mixed in... 45 calories for a total of 105 calories.

    Pumpkin & Chocolate Chip Muffins Just 3 ingredients... 1 box of Spice Cake Mix, 1 Can of Pure Pumpkin and 60 grams of mini semi sweet choc chips. ~ approx 175 calories a muffin

    Dannon Fit & Light Yogurt (love the new Pumpkin Pie flavor that is out, also the Apple Pie, Banana, Toasted Coconut and Blueberry are all good) Only 80 calories with 12 grams of protein and just 7 grams of sugar. I add 5 grams of Kind Peanut Butter Yogurt to add a little crunch... that is an additional 20 calories... so total is 100 calories

    Breyers Delights - Chocolate Mini Pint, 1 mini pint 5 grams of protein and 6 grams of sugar ~ only 70 calories

    Thomas Multigrain Light English Muffin at 8 grams of Fiber and 5 protein... these are just 100 calories. I slice these into, toast and top with half a Tablespoon of Natural Peanut Butter for an additional 45 calories. Total 145 calories for a filling and healthy quick snack. I often have this as part of my breakfast actually.

    Orville Redenbacher's - Smart Pop 100 Calorie Kettle Corn Popcorn... it's a smaller bag (about half the size of your standard microwavable bag... but plenty to be satisfying and filling. Just 100 calories.

    I love an afternoon snack of hot tea with either a couple squares of dark chocolate or a Lara Bar.

    A couple of Oreos, or one of those 100-calorie packs of mini Oreos. Oreos are fantastic dunked in coffee -- much better than milk.

    Fiber One brownies or a couple of squares of dark chocolate. I personally like a banana or berries with coffee. Maybe grapes would work? I'm not sure. If you can moderate nuts, a weighed out portion of nuts goes well with coffee too, but can be just as many calories if you aren't careful.

    It doesn't fit your low added sugar directive, but a couple of shortbread cookies or chocolate wafers would fit calorie wise.

    +1 for the fibre one brownies - those things are something else! <3

    I am amazed no one has recommended stroopwafels (caramel waffles). They normally come in at about 130-160kcals each and are designed to go with a coffee. Not low sugar, but under 200kcals.

    I don't think bringing more than one snack to work is a good idea, I have no self control when I'm sitting at my desk, and there isn't really anywhere else in my office I could put things.
    I'm also thinking rice cakes with jam is a good idea, I'm going to try out these suggestions next week. Thanks everyone!

    Anything with cinnamon will pair well with coffee.

    My favourite combo with coffee is dark chocolate. I'm also easier to satisfy with dark chocolate than milk, so a couple of squares is enough (whereas I will eat the entire slab of milk)

    I like Nairn’s dark chocolate chip oat biscuits. 44 kcal per oat biscuit. Go nicely with coffee :)

    I like rice krispie treats for a small, sweet snack. They aren't terrible in calories either. I think that would go well with coffee.

    And you can make them with any cereal, not just rice krispies. The day I discovered Life krispy treats was magical.

    You can make your own "indulgent" dessert things too. It's not quite the same, but these are still sweet and have dessert aspects. And, can be under 200 cals.

    1 frozen waffle or pancake, topped with a frozen 80cal yogurt (let it thaw for 10 min) and then scoop it on top, a couple chopped strawberries, and 1 tbsp chocolate chips/nuts/dried fruit/crushed candy bar etc.

    1 packet of plain oatmeal, mixed with 1 egg white, cinnamon, Splenda, and a little water. Microwave that for 1 minute. Top with 1 tbsp raisins and a squirt of whipped cream.

    1 small sweet potato cut into slices. Toast or bake with a few squirts of butter spray, cinnamon, Splenda, nutmeg and honey. Dip the slices into vanilla yogurt.
