August 2005 Food Finds

1 Pt English Muffins

Straight from the folks that brought us the Original English Muffin that we all know and love, Thomas’ has come out with an incredibly delicious Light version of this Thomas Light Multi-Grain English Muffinsnook and cranny-filled breakfast food. Thomas’ Light Multi-Grain English Muffins pack a filling fiber punch – they have 100 calories, 1 gram of fat and 8 (yes, 8!) grams of fiber. At only 1 point a piece, these muffins will keep you full all morning without the calories. Top them with jam, I Can’t Believe Its Not Butter spray, or reduced fat peanut butter. If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, make a Sausage Cheese “McMuffin” or have this for lunch as an English Muffin pizza.

100 Calorie Snack Pack Craze

We are so excited to see how popular 100 calorie packs have become! These are perfect because you can grab them on the go and you’re guaranteed a healthy snack. It also signals a change in the snack food industry and its great to see that Nabisco 100 Calorie Snack Packs healthy foods with reasonable portions are becoming more accessible. Here are some of the newest and some of our favorites:

Nabisco started the 100 calorie craze with their snack line. They’ve transformed Oreo, Chips Ahoy, Honey Maid, Ritz, Wheat Thins, Cheese Nips, and Fruit Snacks into delicious, healthy snacks. We haven’t tried them all yet, but so far our favorites are the Oreos and the Wheat Thins.
Nabisco 100 Calorie Snack Packs
Keebler has recently hopped on the bandwagon with their Right Bites line of 100 calorie packs. They’ve made 100 calorie packs of Sandies and Chips Deluxe. We haven’t had any luck finding the Sandies (but we can’t wait – we love the originals!), but we can vouch for the Chips Deluxe – they’re awesome!

South Beach has also made some 100 calorie cookie packs – Oatmeal Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter. We were a little disappointed in the Peanut Butter (they seemed a bit hard to us), but we are CRAZY for the Oatmeal Chocolate Chip.
