So today is cold and usually in the winter time I love desserts such as freshly baked pumpkin bread or Apple Crisp! But I have found an alternative that I am absolutely Excited about! Dole has come out with these Fruit Crisp cups.. I have only seen apple or Peach- But they are phenomenal and come with a granola and brown sugar topping that you can just throw in the microwave!! LOVE IT!!! Only 90 Calories!
Other things that I like to snack on are:

Caramel Rice Cakes-50 Calories Each

Veggie Straws- 130 calories for an entire individual bag.. Replaces chips for me.. ;)

Chunky Salsa 10 Calories-- I eat them with...

Tortilla Chips- (Forgot the brand) but I know like 11 of them come out to 110
calories!

Pop Secret Popcorn 100 Calorie MiniBags... Yummy (But high in Sodium) So watch it...

Green Apple Slices with A thin shaving of Sharp Cheddar Cheese... (Calorie Intake can't recall now.. but it is not as much as a snicker bar) LOL

Banana Split (Healthy) A sliced up Banana- 2 Tblpsons of Cool Whip, Walnuts and a few pieces of Dark Chocolate Chips--- Yummy Alternative!

1 Chocolate Graham Cracker- 3 Tbspoons of Cool Whip- Put in the freezer for 1 hour... Healtier Ice Cream Sandwiches!!! LOL

Just wanted to be a little helpful.. I know this can be a rough road for us "Snackers" but with a little adjustment it is SO possible!

I will post more snacks as time goes on... Cause I absolutely Love them!!! Hope you can try these! I almost ALWAYS stay under my calorie count by just making these different better choices!

P.S. Next Time I will post with ALL of the calorie Counts! ;)

    Mmmm I would have never thought of that "banana split" idea, or the frozen graham sandwich!

    My snacks are so boring...

    Those sound great! I'm definitely going to give them a try. I like rice cakes for snacks too. I also eat a lot of fresh fruit, and when I'm seriously craving chocolate or candy, I get the mini candy bars. It's just enough to satisfy the sweet tooth without totally going nuts on calories (A mini Twix bar is like 43 cals.) Thanks for the great suggestions!

    You could use chocolate Cool Whip as well if you wanted to add more chocolate flavor. :) It doesn't come in fat free (that I've seen), but it's not too high in fat.

    All great ideas!!! :)

    It sounds weird, but I really enjoy Saltines with mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. It knocks out my salt AND sweet cravings.

    About 140 calories for one serving.

    The Quaker Crisp Minis are light in calories and now made with brown rice so they're whole grain. Good when I need a salt fix because of exercise.
