<100 calorie snacks
Does anyone have any good low calorie snacks they love? Sweet or salty snacks...but I'm more interested in the sweet stuff ;)

Be careful with low calorie snacks, for they might be low in calories but their salt or sugar content might be soaring through the roof and not do you any good. I'm not much of a calorie counter so I'm a bit useless, but just wanted to warn you of false advertising with some foods.

I'd generally sooner have a small amount of something good than a pile of junk, so my go-to sweet snack is a small square of dark chocolate. For a savory snack, veggies with a little hummus or a piece of string cheese.

Laughing cow Light Cheese Wedges ...35 calories.
Non fat yogurt 50 - 70 calories. Sugar free Jello - 10 calories. |
I like cheese as a low cal snack.
|
if I need something but I'm not hungry I'll grab some smart fries. They're great and I usually go to them if I need some really low cal snack to stop a craving.
65 fries in one serving (110 cal) so I'll usually have 30 fries and figure it as 50 cal :) |
my favorite snacks are:
50gram of full fat greek yoghurt + half a banana in slices + 1 teaspoon of sugar = its approximately 120 calories - so delicious and none of that fake fatfree sugarfree stuff. it's healthier in my opinion to eat the full products than all the chemically enhanced stuff We have these crackers here in the Netherlands that are 25cal and pretty big (LU Cracottes), I top that with a full tablespoon of peanutbutter. It's about 110calories also. And ofcourse cheesestrings, they are only 70 cal a piece. A handfull of salted cashewnuts (20gr) is also about 120 calories. |
Grapes! I loooove seedless grapes; low cal, sweet, and great 'movie-munching' food, just make sure you pre-portion the amount you can eat! 10 grapes is 34 calories (roughly), so you can easily have 20-30 grapes.
What I really want to try is dipping them in dark chocolate (perhaps only half the grape?) as a low-cal snack. I'm just trying to figure out a recipe that satisfies both my calorie limit and the 'OMG SO GOOD' taste. |
I was going to add another of my favorites, it's also with grapes!
I cut 10 grapes in half and toss it in a bowl of about 80grams of cottage cheese. It's about 100 calories also. It's a great combination. Preferably with yellow/white grapes. |
String cheese, mini Babybel cheese, Laughing Cow light wedge, small apple and a bit of peanut butter, small handful of almonds and a couple pieces of dried fruit, etc. I personally avoid commercial "snack packs" and try to snack on food low in sugar and salt. Fiber keeps you feeling full so fruit and nuts make great snacks.

i'm in japan (the land of non-existant diet food) and some of my favorite snacks of the moment are, dried squid (it's an acquired taste...) and cabbage dipped in miso. i especially like the last one cuz i can eat it a bit like chips... lol.
i guess it doesn't sound too interesting, but figured i'd share anyways lol. |
Fiber one brownies

I like to snack on "real" food. I snack on fruits, veggies with hummus, homemade pickles, string cheese, or other things. I try to stay away from processed foods (we joke at our house anything in a box or plastic bag is processed...pretty true)....
I just find the processed crap doesn't stick with me...where the "real" food does. One "treat" for me (that includes some processed stuff) is a few tablespoons of plain greek yogurt with a little bit of sugar-free pie filling. It makes the most delicious yogurt-y treat! I usually do about 3 tablespoons yogurt with 1/4 cup pie filling. Cherry and apple are my faves! |
I usually go for a sugar free jello, a nutrigrain bar, or some nuts. I love almonds and a few of emeralds cocoa roasted almonds can definitely satisfy a craving.
|
My go to snacks are Greek yogurt, veggies/fruit, and nuts.
I do like the occasional cheese stick too. |
Oh, as I am snacking on this, I remember I've not added it here yet! Hihi
Another of my favorites are the 'pickled onions' also known as 'silverskin'. Can have like 25 of those and for only 30 calories. The sugar that's added in the pickling process makes it a snack withs ome carbs, but not more than in a small cracker in total. Another go to snack I like is baby corn and dipping it in super spicey salsa sauce! You can eat it cold or warm both is nice! |
a lot of people already typed up what i like to snack on (veggies, fruits, yada yada). here are some that weren't listed:
- dill pickles (so good and so low in cal! it has that huge burst of flavor and it helps ease my cravings for chips and other salted goodies) - chocolate jello pudding (this is packaged and i guess 'bad' but sometimes, when i just really want something sweet and chocolatey, this hits the spot) |
For sweet snacks I like:
- a sweetened packet of instant oatmeal (chai or maple flavor) ~150 cals - a glass of chocolate almond/hazlenut/soymilk ~110 cals - a cliff kids bar ~180 cals (I forgot) - carrot/orange juice ~130 cals |
I love this! Such great ideas! I love celery with peanut butter- a little bit goes a long way for me and it's SO filling! I'm also a huge advocate of pb2- 45 cal for 2 tbs!! I love to get low carb tortillas, spread with 1 tbs hummus, and fill with bell peppers, celery, and spinach.
The kid clif z bars are like a special "treat" for me. 130 cal in the honey graham! I also like to mix Greek yogurt, baking cocoa, and a packet of Splenda- I guess that sounds weird but it totally satisfies a chocolate craving for me. :-) |
6 oz. of strawberries...which is a little over a cup if you cut them up...sprinkled with a little splenda is about 53 calories! I love how low in calories strawberries are.
|
Quavers are one of my faves :-)
