Healthy Snackage

During my 60 day le body challenge, sometimes I still can't help but snack on delicious foods in between meals. So here's some good snack options that are low-cal, healthy, but still tasty!

1. Garden Veggie chips - BEST ALTERNATIVE TO REGULAR CHIPS

When I go to my local wholesale store, I always get a huge box of this stuff. The chips taste even better than regular ol' chips, but a lot healthier. Not only does the whole bag have 0 grams trans fat, the chips are naturally flavored. Garden Veggie Chips are sold for ~$10 / 8 bags at CostCo.

2. XinJiang's Dried Grapes (raisins) - MOST HEALTHY & NUTRITIOUS

A handful of these are extremely delish for snacking. The flavor is slightly tart with the perfect sweetness. Honestly I'd definitely pick these over the typical American brand sickly-sweet raisins. Except... I'd have to go to China to pick up a bag of these goodies. Next time I go, I will stock up! But in the meantime, you can still get this greatness via the power of online shopping. Buy for only 8 yuan (which is just 1 USD) at XiaoMaYi (online supermarket).

3. Pretz biscuit sticks - DIET-FRIENDLY

Pretz.... oh where do I start? The variety of flavors range from pizza to salad to tomato, so you get to pick whatever flavors suit your fancy. My personal favorite is Salad Pretz... I couldn't get enough of the salty goodness. Although this is probably not the healthiest choice, every stick is so low-cal that you won't risk getting fat from consuming these. You can find Pretz snacks at any local Asian supermarket for about $2-3.

      Definitely should try out some veggie chips! Idk if they have this brand in Melbourne, but probably similar stuff for sure. Speaking of which, I'd love to go to Australia sometime after college.

    OMG I actually found those veggie chips yesterday, I never knew they existed before reading your blog! I'll definitely replace those with normal chips. Those raisins look sooo delicious!
    The diet/fitness part of your blog is so awesome too because I'm really into finding healthy foods, esp ones that taste good too!
