100-calorie snacks

This week, we love Smartfood Popcorn Clusters – a crunchy and nutritious treat from snack connoisseurs Frito-Lay.

We first spotted these charming boxes while flipping through a magazine and within days, DietsInReview Food Finders were pleased as punch to see all three flavors – Cranberry Almond, Honey Multigrain and Chocolate Cookie Caramel Pecan lined up neatly on the bottom shelf of the snack aisle of a local grocery store.

Each week, DietsInReview.com is going to highlight one food, snack, exercise or gadget that has made our lives a bit more happy and a lot more healthy. We welcome your suggestions, too, as we scope out grocery store shelves for new products or reconnect with a tried-and-true favorite.

This week, We Love Emerald Almonds 100-Calorie Packs. These heart-healthy snack packs come in three flavors: natural almonds, cocoa almonds and a walnut-almond mix. Best of all, they are individually-packed and they don’t contain salt or added flavorings (except the cocoa almonds), so you’re not too tempted to eat the entire box of seven pouches.

Almonds and walnuts provide you with a heart healthy dose of healthy fats, muscle-building protein and satiating fiber. This is one snack that you can feel super good about noshing on!
