216/365 Three Alternatives to Potato Chips

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

I found a happy snack gem at the grocery store today: Quakes Rice Snacks. These treats come in many flavors and are cooked by heat and pressure, not baked or fried. They have 0g fat and don't use high fructose corn syrup. The flavor is just right and you only need a few to satisfy that craving for something crunchy and sweet, tangy, salty, etc.

A brand that you can also look to is popchips. They are also cooked by heat and pressure so there's no oil used to produce them. There are 4g fat for every serving though no trans or saturated fat. The one downside to popchips would be that they are high in sodium. Drink some water with this one.

The final alternative would be fresh, crunchy vegetables. These always have 0g fat and are naturally low in sodium. Sometimes, you have to satiate that urge to ruminate. Do so wisely and you won't ruin your diet while still getting to crunch away.

In health,

Lauren
