Satisfying Snacks

Since I've joined Weight Watchers I have had to change my eating habits completely, including what I snack on. Of course the best snacking options are going to be healthy ones like fruits and vegetables... but I've stumbled across a few snacks that keep me going when I am wanting something sweet. 

Skinny Cow white mint truffle bars- these are seriously amazing and at only 2 points a bar there is no guilt associated!

Quakes Multigrain Blackberry Pomegranate- these are the perfect mix of sweet and crunchy and at 2 points for 13 quakes it's a great little filling snack.

Vitalicious Vitatops- These are a little expensive but oh so worth it for a chocolate craving! You can find them at Price chopper or stock up on their website and enjoy a whole lot of flavor options. My favorite is the mint chocolate! Only 1 point for a vitamuffin and there is no need to feel guilt for eating this chocolaty treat because it is packed with all sorts of good vitamins and fiber.

sugar free, fat free instant pudding made with fat free milk. Low calorie, great taste and at 1 point you can't go wrong.

Funky Monkey- Applemon. I found this at Target one day and decided to try it because it sounded like a healthy snack. I wasn't disappointed. Funky Monkey is freeze dried fruit in a pouch. One pouch is equivalent to three servings of fruit! I have to say it doesn't look like much but it is definitely filling! They sold three different flavors at my target: applemon, bananamon(bananas and cinnamon) and carnival mix. I've tried all three and the applemon(apples and cinnamon) is my favorite but they are all good and worth a try. Great for bringing on a car trip for healthy snacking!

Weight watchers chocolate raspberry bars- I like chocolate and these are raspberry ice cream covered in a hard chocolate shell. Very good, but a small snack for 2 points.

Only 8 Frozen Yogurt-I found an ice cream stand near me that sells the brand Only 8. Only 8 means there are only 8 ingredients in the yogurt and 1 CUP, yes I said 1 cup, is only 1 point. The ice cream stand near me has about 40 different flavors. I've been getting it all summer (not every day of course) and I haven't gotten the same flavor twice. This yogurt is seriously to die for and a must for me when I want soft serve. If you have an independent ice cream shop near you (not a franchise) click on the link to see how you can get your store to carry Only 8 and if you see it offered anywhere don't feel guilty getting served up a full cup's worth of this amazingly low fat and low calorie treat.


Well there you have my favorite "sweet tooth" snacks. Suitable for anyone. Go ahead and try something new, I know you want to!
