Top Ten 100 Calorie Snacks

March 12, 2013   5 Comments

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

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 163 under 100 calorie options - 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 these 10 because they are my favorite 100 calorie snacks - and they represent a nice variety of foods you could eat:

1. Eating Cookie Dough Just Got Healthier

2. Take Your Raw Veggies To the Next Level

3. Create A Better Snack With Carrots

4. A Lot Less Float For Your Boat (Awesome 53 Calorie Dessert)

5. Elegant, Easy, and Under 100 Calories

6. No Bake Lemon Balls: Healthy, Fast, & Yummy

7. The Best Brand of Yogurt You Can Buy

8. A 100 Calorie Pizza That Will Rock Your Sox

9. How To Make Dark Chocolate Last Forever

10. Kale Chips: Believe The Hype

What is your favorite 100 calorie snack?
