Pretzels used to be your only choice for low-fat snacking. Now your options are almost limitless. Good snack choices include:
- nonfat and baked tortilla chips
- baked potato chips
- bagels
- pita bread
- low-fat cereal
- gingersnaps
- graham crackers
- rice cakes
- rice puffs
- potato puffs
- rye crisps
- sourdough pretzels
- add salsa as a tasty, low-fat dip
- Dried fruits are satisfying and packed with nutrients
- fresh fruit has the added value of fiber
- If you love popcorn, invest in an air popper or a special microwave popper. If you want more flavor, add 1 teaspoon of oil or melted butter. Better yet, add sea salt or other seasonings such as paprika, cayenne or goma-shio (toasted sesame seeds and sea salt.)
- Frozen non-fat yogurt can be almost as satisfying as ice cream
- Make your own frozen fruit juice bars
