I am usually a more sweet than salty snacker but something about a low calorie diet makes me crave chips. Special K Cracker Chips are my go to snack. They are just the right amount of tasting slightly fatty without being greasy. Lot’s of flavour and a decent quantity for 80 calories. Plus, unlike many chips, I actually find I get more per serving than the box says, and that always makes me happier. They do have lactose in them. It doesn’t make a huge difference to me, but something to note for those who are lactose intolerant. Special K Cracker Chips Nutrition Data Serving size 20g (shown in bowl…

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.

Dare Veggie Crisps Ketchup Flavour
Veggie Chips often have a very small amount of vegetables in them and are not much healthier than regular chips. Dare Vegetable Crisps are actually quite a bit lower in calories than chips. Lay’s Ketchup Chips have around 105 calories for 20g while Dare Vegetable Crisps have 70 calories for the same weight. They are made with potato, mixed with yellow and green pea, tomato, beet, spinach, carrot, garlic, onion. On top of that, they are quite crunchy and filling so you will likely be more satisfied by 20g of Dare Veggie Chips than regular potato chips. Dare Veggie Crisps Nutrition (Low Calorie Chips) Serving size: 20g (around 10 chips)…

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…
