Jello pudding 100 Calorie Pack

Jello (a Nabisco/Kraft brand) has dozens of pudding varieties to offer, from nonfat to fancy mousse flavors. I’ve tried several of the 100 Calorie Packs and they’re just as tasty and one might expect from Jello. Varieties include vanilla/chocolate combo pack, chocolate-vanilla swirl, tapioca and devil’s food. They are all fat-free, but very rich in flavor. If you want to add a little extra treat, put some nonfat whipped cream or Cool Whip on top. The 100-calorie Jello packs often show up at discount stores such as Grocery Outlet, so you can get a real deal on these!

Mister Salty Milk Chocolate Covered Pretzels 100 Calorie Pack

Mister Salty chocolate-covered pretzels

Nabisco has put a twist (sorry, bad pun) on its classic pretzel character Mister Salty in the form of 100 Calorie Pack Milk Chocolate Covered Pretzels. These .78-ounce packs include at least a dozen round mini pretzels generously covered in real, rich chocolate. The saltiness, sweetness and crunch combine for a great taste that made me forget the scant serving size.

Klondike Slim-a-Bear 100 calorie ice cream bars

Klondike Slim-a-Bear

My husband brought this box of Klondike Slim-a-Bear 100-calorie ice cream bars home from the store the other day, and before I could taste-test them, he and our son had eaten half of eight bars in the box! So, that’s a ringing endorsement right there. The Slim-a-Bear bars (these are vanilla) are smaller than the palm of my hand but flavorful. The chocolate coating tastes like caramel and the ice cream is slow to melt, so you can take your time eating this Klondike bar. The size and low-fat ice cream help bring Slim-a-Bear in at 100 calories. My only question is, if it’s round, can they still call it a “bar”?

Smartfood popcorn 100 calorie pack

100 calorie Smartfood popcorn

I’ve always enjoyed Smartfood popcorn, which has a fresh-popped taste and just the right amount of seasoning. So I was excited to see these 100 calorie packs. The 5/8 ounce serving is larger than it sounds, and the White Cheddar Cheese flavor gives the popcorn a chip-like taste, which is not surprising since Smartfood is a product of Frito-Lay. Another point in its favor: Popcorn is a great snack “bridge” between meals, and the prepopped variety means you won’t annoy people in your office with microwave popcorn smell. And you won’t have to share.

100 Calorie Pack Cafe Mocha Cappuccino

100 calorie mocha

If you (like me) can’t live without your morning mocha, General Foods has the answer with its 100 Calorie Pack Cafe Mocha Cappucino. Just add hot water (or, for a richer taste and more calories, add milk) and enjoy a 6-ounce glass of chocolatey coffee goodness. It’s caffeinated, too. Now, obviously, you could buy a regular tin of General Foods International Coffee and measure out portions as you go. But if you want convenience that will help you count calories at the same time, these packs are a definite option. There are five envelopes per box, and the box I bought was $2.99 — less than I’d pay for a coffee shop mocha. Take a pack to work and you’ll save money and a trip to the coffee shop.

Pepperidge Farm 100 calorie Soft Baked Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

100 calorie oatmeal raisin cookies

These teeny tiny versions of Pepperidge Farm’s Soft Baked Oatmeal Raisin cookies come just a few to a pack, but they live up to the promise of softness. The raisins are moist as well. On the down side, there are fewer than a dozen nickel-sized cookies in each pack, but at least you know you’re getting your 25 calories’ worth.

100 calorie Twinkies

Twinkie Bites

Hostess continues to add to its popular 100 calorie pack line with Twinkie Bites, which taste like, well, Twinkies. Each pack (totally 1.2 ounce) includes three golden sponge cakes with the famous creamy filling. They’re moist and so rich that you could open a pack, set it on your desk at work and enjoy one every hour or so. They pack a lot of flavor into the little round cakes. Speaking of round, I’m not sure why Hostess didn’t make the Twinkie Bites in the classic long Twinkie shape, but it’s not at all disconcerting and doesn’t hurt the taste, either.

Other cakes in the Hostess 100 calorie pack line include: Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cakes (my favorite) and Carrot Cake as well as Banana Muffins, Blueberry Muffins, Chocolate Cupcakes, Golden Cakes and Strawberry Cupcakes.

100 calorie pack Craisins

Craisins

Mmmm… Craisins. My husband is addicted to these things. Even thought they’re sweetened, they’re a little on the tart side for me, these dried cranberries that are shriveled like raisins. He puts them on his oatmeal. They’re a popular snack at my kid’s preschool. And now they’re available in 100 calorie packs. Perfectly portioned, these 100 calorie packs of Craisins are great for a zingy treat on the go.

Golden Oreo Mini Cakesters

Mini Cakesters

When I first heard about Oreo Cakesters it was to hear several friends raving about how tasty they are. The raving was invariably followed by regret at the high calorie count. Nabisco must have been listening, because now Cakesters have been packaged in 100 Calorie Packs for those of us who lack self-control when it comes to portion control. There are three cakes in each pack. Cakesters consist of two fluffy outer layers with a cake-like texture but an Oreo taste (Cakesters also come in original Oreo flavor.) It becomes a sandwich cake thanks to Oreo cream filling in between. I split a pack of Golden Oreo Mini Cakesters with my kid and the tiny (.81 ounce total) cakes were gone too fast, but I’ll definitely be returning to the cookie aisle for these golden treats, and their chocolatey cousins.

Wholly Guacamole 100 calorie Snack Packs

Wholly Guacamole

I’ve tried and enjoyed Wholly Guacamole, so when I saw that they were making 100 calorie packs I knew they had to be good. It’s the same product, just carefully portioned. They’d be great to pack in a lunchbox or for a Super Bowl get-together where guests want to make sure they’re not overdoing it on portion size. Remember, avocados have the good kind of fat! The Wholly Guacamole 100 calorie packs include three packs. Pair with a 100 calorie pack of tortilla chips and you’re good to go!
