100 Calorie Healthy Snacks

March 5, 2014   4 Comments

100 is a magical number for some people. An entire snack product industry is based on this concept of a 100 calorie snack.

100 Calorie Healthy Snacks

I think that for dieters, 100 calorie snacks are great because they are pre-portioned. Hey, you know what you are getting! The problem is that many of the packaged snacks in this category aren't nutritious and they taste....well....yucky.

In fact, I nominated a 100 Calorie snack pack for "Worst Snack of The Year in 2010" see here: The Worst Snack of 2010.

Seriously, does that package up there look appetizing?

If you want to keep your snack around 100 calories (which is a perfectly reasonable idea), you have many options other than this ugly package of junk food.

I have created a list of over 198 under 100 calorie options here: Snack Girl's 100 Calorie Snacks - And, yes, you have to make these snacks :(

Why make your own?

  • You will save money (those 100 calorie snack packs are not cheap).
  • They will taste good.
  • You will become greener (less packaging).

And, you will honor your body by making a nutritious snack.

I chose to feature 10 of my favorite 100 calorie snacks below. They represent a nice variety of foods:

1. Everything But The Kitchen Sink Fruit and Nut Bars

2. Give Your Popcorn A South Of The Border Spin

I generally don't buy the 100 calorie packs - it's more like spending money on packaged air and the foods are highly unsatisfying. I love seeing what you have to offer. Though I recently tried dried and seasoned edamame - which was really ok. Taking my cues from you - since you've had a great influence over me Snack Girl!! I cut up a banana and sprinkle it with unsweetened coconut, and a tsp of choc chips. It may be a little over 100 calories. But right now I live it more than life itself!!! Lol.

I used to make my own granola, which saved me on long bus trips . . . these look like all good alternatives to the dreaded snack vending machines.

Seasoned and baked garbanzo beans, kale, sliced sweet potatoes, and homemade crackers are great too. Snack Girl has a good kale recipe and the others can be made in a similar manner.

I cut up an apple into slices. Then I sprinkle sugar free jello on the slices and enjoy! They are YUMMY!!! It feels so guilty, but it isn't!! The tangier types of apples are the best!! :D
