We Can’t Live Without our Snacks!

crackersWhat’s the hardest part of dieting and eating healthy? Finding snacks that won’t destroy all your hard work!

I’m a snack lover. I can’t live without my little afternoon pick-me-up. Eating healthy meals is one thing, but it’s really hard to find good, healthy snacks.

So, whenever I discover something new on the snack aisle, I have to try it out. My latest find is Nabisco’s Garden Harvest Toasted Chips. They come in four flavors, Tomato Basil, Vegetable Medley, Apple Cinnamon and Banana– each in a 1 oz. snack bag containing half a serving of vegetables or fruit.

I tried the Vegetable Medley and Banana flavors. Of the two, I preferred the Vegetable Medley. They were crunchy, full of flavor, baked with 100% whole grain, low fat and 120 calories. My kids really liked them too, so they might find their way into the lunch boxes! I’m curious to check out the Tomato Basil ones next. If you’ve tried these new snacks, let us know what you think and also please share your other crunchy, healthy snack ideas with us. It’s just not a snack if it doesn’t crunch!!!

    It’s those afternoons in front of the computer when every fiber of your body is calling out, “nap, nap, nap”, but you have to plug away. So you snack on whatever happens to be around the house. At least, that’s my challenge.

    Of course, carrots crunch, but whatever is out on the counter just seems so much more compelling.

Got something to say?
