I have a wicked sweet tooth and am trying to be more mindful of how many calories are in my snacks. Huer’s Sensible Sweets line come in Fruity Fish (strawberry and raspberry flavours) or Fruity Bears (orange, lemon, strawberry and blueberry flavours). Both offer 50g of candy for 150 calories with 12g of fibre and only 3g of sugar. They use Isomalto-oligosaccharide as the main ingredient which is meant to be digestion-resistant and about 50% as sweet as sugar (and these gummies are definitely not super sweet despite the added stevia) and juice concentrate for colour. What I love about them You get a fair amount of candy for 150…

LeClerc Celebration Mini Cookies
I have to stick to bags of mini cookies. I don’t have the will power to only eat 1-2 regular sized cookies out of a pack. The open package just calls my name. I picked up these LeClerc Celebration Mini cookies at Dollarama. You get 7 packages of cookies for $2. So a snack a day! 110 calories for 7 chocolate covered butter cookies. Unlike many 100ish calorie packs, these actually taste similar to the original LeClerc Celebration cookies. There are certainly lower calorie options for cookies, but many don’t hit that craving as well as Leclerc Celebration Minis. I try to keep my snack options under 100 calories. But…

Amadore Chocolate Covered Rice Cakes (Dollarama)
I buy the large Caramel Chocolate rice cakes from Quaker but my sweet tooth runs chocolate more than caramel. Dollarama sells Amadore Rice Cakes with Milk Chocolate. You get a pack of six large rice cakes topped with chocolate for 70 calories each. In true Dollarama fashion, they cost $1.50 a pack, does anything there actually cost $1 anymore? Reasonable cost for six though and I do find that one is enough to satisfy my sweet tooth. Calories in Amadore Chocolate Covered Rice Cakes A serving of these is one rice cake and they do weight pretty close to the 15g stated on the packaging. The six in my pack…

Fibre 1 Delights Chocolate Chip Cookie
I am a huge fan of the Fibre 1 Brownies so was excited to try the Fibre 1 Delights Chocolate Chip Cookie. The first thing to know about these is that they are not cookies. They are more like cake bars. Fibre 1 Chocolate Chip Cookie squares are very sweet. They have that more obvious sweetener taste to them compared to the brownies. You still get extra fibre in your diet by using Fibre 1 Delights as a snack and without the dry taste of many fibre bars.

Fibre 1 Chocolatey Fudge Brownies
Most of us do not get enough fibre in our diets. If you can add it while getting a chocolate fix, why not? At 90 calories, Chocolatey Fudge Fibre 1 Brownies provide 20% of your daily fibre needs. You get five individually wrapped brownies per box and they retail for around $3 but you can always stock up on sale as they have good expiry dates. It is pretty generous in size for 90 calories and drizzled with chocolate to help that sweet tooth craving. In my opinion, the brownies are the best of the Fibre 1 products available in Canada. Some of the Fibre 1 Delights have that sickly…
