150 cal treat

I try to purchase whole foods [ fruits, yogurts, vegetables ] for my snacks instead of relying on boxed, processed items. Sometimes we look at the calories equivalents and forget about the ingredients. Does 100 calories of chips really equal 100 calories of an apple?

BUT doesn't every girl love a sale...

Last week at Publix, 100 calorie snacks were buy-1-get-1 - how could I resist?!

150 Calorie Afternoon Snack =

100 calorie wheat thins + 50 calorie light laughing cow cheese triangle

What makes this snack so great?

Pairing a "carby" snack with a protein food, like cheese, will keep you full for longer. Protein digestion does not start until food reaches your stomach, unlike carbohydrate digestion that begin in the mouth. Pair low-cal snacks with protein to keep you satiated longer.
