Kelloggs New Healthy Snacks

The Kellogg's company was kind of enough to send me a few new healthy snacks to review and share with you.

I must say I was shocked with how much stuff they sent me. I was actually expecting little sample packs.....instead they sent full boxes!

Okay, one of the most common problems we have as far as dieting is concerned is snacks. Meals are pretty easy when dieting. Quick snacks on the other hand....not so much! The problem is, is that most "healthy" quick snacks that are satisfying (especially for those sweet/carb cravings) are not really that healthy. Has Kellogg's come up with snacks that are actually satisfying AND healthy? Well let's take a look...

- Kellogg's Fiber Plus Chewy Bars (They sent me the chocolate chip and dark chocolate almond flavors):

• Nutrition (1 Bar): Calories (120-130) Total Fat (4-5g) Cholesterol (0g) Sodium (50-55mg) Carbs (24-26g) Fiber (9g) Protein (2g) Minerals (Calcium, Iron, Vitamin E, Zinc)
  
• Taste: Both tasted exceptionally good. Kind of tasted similar to rice krispie treats.
• Opinion: The calories is not so bad given that you have one or two a day (be careful...they can become addictive), the amount of carbs is a negative, however the amount of fiber is excellent. Overall, I recommend these snack bars provided you enjoy them in moderation....as with anything else!

Kellogg's Special K Snack Crackers (They sent me the Sun Dried Tomato and the Multi-Grain flavors)

• Nutrition (24 Crackers): Calories (120) Total Fat (3g) Cholesterol (0g) Sodium (260mg) Carbs (23g) Fiber (2g) Protein (3g) Minerals (Iron)
• Taste: In my own personal preference, I liked the multi-grain brand more so than the sun dried tomato brand. The sun dried tomato crackers would taste excellent with something like a fat free dip, etc.
  
• Opinion: Again, the amount of carbs is a negative (1 gram of carbs per cracker). However, the calories are not so bad given that it's 24 crackers.

Oh yeah, my crazy cat also recommends the crackers (this is one of the rare times he behaves.....hmmm)

Remember, dieting isn't torture. Don't restrict yourself from enjoying a little "treat" every now and then. Except in this case.....the treats are actually pretty healthy for you!
