Thanks, But No Thanks

Shortbread is one of my favorite kinds of cookies. And I figured I couldn't go wrong with these Murray's 100 calorie shortbread bites. I found a box of them at Walmart and while they are sugar free, they are not reduced fat. They are 90 calories, 3.5 grams of fat and 3 grams of fiber - so not too bad. But boy oh boy was I disappointed in the taste. They are no sugar, but sweetened with Splenda. I have had other no sugar added snacks and they actually tasted pretty decent. But not these cookies. Unfortunately I will not be trying these again but I will probably try another snack from Murray's some time in the future.

More Ice Cream!!!

By the looks of the ice cream on the carton, I thought I had hit the jackpot. Pieces of chocolate and chocolate chip cookies in creamy vanilla ice cream. No sugar added and reduced fat at that. Boy oh boy was I wrong. Perhaps I am a bit biased because I'm so in love with Edy's Butterfinger (see previous post). But I doubt that's the reason. I truly love ice cream and give each and every flavor a fair shot. Or maybe I need to try the "regular" kind. I think because it has no sugar added, it has kind of an artificial taste to it. I think I'm going to try it again and maybe it will taste better. We shall see....

Unexpected Surprise!!

I scream, you scream, we all yeah, yeah, yeah. Well I don't scream, but I do crave ice cream. Whenever there is a new ice cream flavor, I pretty much try it. When I saw Edy's Loaded Butterfinger flavor. It is the bomb! There are pieces of Butterfinger candy bar in the ice cream and swirls of some type of peanut butter concoction. The combination is great and get this there are only 130 calories, and 5 grams of fat per 1/2 cup serving. Perfect to serve in a sugar cone and very tasty. I'm still working on trying the other flavors, but I'm really stuck on this one!

Nice Try Breyers, But...

Cheesecake is a huge weakness for me. My favorite kind is the no bake mix you can buy from the grocery store. I love it sweet and creamy with a graham cracker crust. Imagine my excitement when I found Breyer's 100 calorie yogurt with graham cracker pieces. It seemed really tasty and I was excited to try it, plus I found a coupon in the Sunday paper. The yogurt really didn't taste like cheesecake to me, but I have rarely found any yogurt that does. The graham cracker pieces didn't really taste like graham cracker either. I guess I'll have to try it again to see if I really like it. I will have to admit that it is a neat snack for 100 calories. But I am going to try the vanilla with chocolate chip cookie pieces - maybe I will like that.

I Think I'm Obsessed!!!!

If you can't tell, I love finding 100 calorie snacks. Every time I go to Walmart it seems I find something new. But sometimes I want something a little different. Maybe fruit or something a bit more filling. I found this this on www.hap.org. It's a list of 100 calorie treats you can make yourself at home. I can't wait to try some of these.

Little Debbie Has Done It Again!!!

Today while in Walmart I found the Lemon version of their 100 calorie snack cakes. I absolutely love anything lemon. I have tried Weight Watcher's version of lemon cakes and those are very good - but I think Little Debbie has them beat. These are lemon cakes with white icing. Little Debbie's cakes are very moist and sweet - yet have a little twang (is that a word?) These cakes are definitely a great treat and they make you feel like you are really having a great snack. Add a small glass of reduced fat milk or soymilk - perfect!

A Good, Solid Snack

So I'm a sucker for cinnamon. Cinnamon buns, cinnamon gum, cinnamon toast, you name it. When I saw these 100 Calorie Packs of Honey Maid cinnamon roll thin crisps, I just had to try them. I wasn't disappointed. The smell hits you as you open the bag, a slight hint of sweet cinnamon. These crisps are thin and crunchy and sweet with just enough cinnamon to satisfy my taste buds. I have become accustomed to eating these 100 calorie snacks so the amount never bothers me, but they give you enough in this bag to make you feel like you are really having a substantial snack. They are perfect for snacks on the go and I will definitely purchase these again.
