100 Calorie Borden Pepper Jack Cheese

100 calorie cheese sticks

While the average individually packaged stick of cheese is normally around 100 calories anyway, the Borden company has made calorie-counting even easier and created 100 calorie pepper jack cheese sticks. There are six cheese sticks in a bag, and each weighs in at one ounce. I have to admit, I had these cheese sticks in my shopping cart when I noticed the expiration date was a little too close for my liking and put them back. However, they did look tasty, and you can’t go wrong with pepper jack. Borden also makes 100 calorie cheese sticks in sharp cheddar, mild cheddar and Monterey jack.

100 calorie Sierra Mist soda

100 calorie Sierra Mist

Pretty much any of those cute, short little 8-ounce cans of soda are 100 calories (for the non-diet variety.) But they’re usually as costly as their 12-ounce big brothers. They are convenient, though, and if you find a good sale they’re a great way to measure your soda calorie count. I recently picked up a six-pack of 100 calorie Sierra Mist when my son had a tummy ache (the only time he’s allowed soda.)

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.

Thomas 100 Calorie Bagels

Thomas 100 calorie bagels

Thomas bagels come in many sizes (though only one shape–round–because they’re bagels, har har). The 100 calorie version comes in plain flavor only. They’re actually kinda cute. The bagels are pre-split and fit in most toasters. If you need your carb fix, these little guys are the way to go, no counting necessary. There’s also a “mini bagel” bag, in which each bagel is a little larger and has a few more calories (I think they’re 130 each but I need to check) . Thomas also makes 100 calorie English muffins.

90 calorie Rice Krispies cereal

90 calorie Rice Krispies

Did you know some of those little boxes of breakfast cereal are 100 calories or less? Some even boast the calorie count on the package, like this box of Kellogg’s Rice Krispies that comes in at 90 calories per serving. (Of course, that goes up once you add milk, but use nonfat and it won’t be much.) This box contains .88 oz of cereal. It tastes like Rice Krispies. Because it is.

Progresso chicken dumpling soup 100 calories per serving

Progresso Chicken & Dumplings

You wouldn’t want to have just 100 calories for lunch (that wouldn’t be healthy), but you’d be off to a good start with Progress Traditional Chicken & Herb Dumplings soup. The can touts that it’s 100 calories per serving, as are several Progresso soup products. Each can contains about two servings. Heat up the soup and add a couple of sides (maybe fruit and half and sandwich) and you’ve refueled until dinner! I’ve had this soup many times and it’s delicious. You don’t add water. The chicken is tender and tasty, the carrots and celery are in generous chunks and the dumplings are, of course, the best part.

100 calorie Ritz Snack Mix

Ritz Snack Mix

These packs are more filling than they are tasty. Ritz has packed multi-grain Ritz Bits, stick pretzels and what looks like Wheat Chex and Cheese Nips in these packs. They’re a little bland and dry, but the saltiness combined with a nice bit of carby goodness makes for a mid-afternoon pick-me-up. Still, I’d prefer plain Ritz.

Hostess 100 calorie Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cakes

admin — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 05:49:44 +0000

I’ve been waiting to post about this 100 calorie pack from Hostess because it’s one I’m truly passionate about. And believe me, I’m passionate about snacks. I’ve bought these Cinnamon Streusel Coffee Cakes at least three times (watch for coupons; there are a lot of Hostess ones out there right now). They’re moist, they don’t skimp on the cinnamon topping and they’re perfect to grab if you’re on the way out the door to work having skipped breakfast yet again. They’re the perfect complement to morning coffee, and they’ll definitely tide you over until lunchtime. Especially if you eat two packs (just kidding!).

Quaker Cinnamon Streusel Mini Delights

admin — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 16:37:11 +0000

The battle to drive down the calorie count continues, with Quaker’s Mini Delights coming in at a mere 90 calories. Take that, 100 calorie packs. But seriously. These cinnamon streusel “light crispy multigrain cakes” look dry and bland but taste surprisingly good. The crispy base tastes like a sweet rice cake, and there’s frosting drizzled over the top. I have to be honest: I put off trying these because I didn’t think they’d be that great, but I was pleasantly surprised. I’d still take a Hostess 100 calorie pack or Entenmann’s over these any day.

Hershey’s Special Dark 100 Calorie Bar

What better way to start a new year than with deep, dark chocolate? One member of the Hershey’s 100 Calorie Bars line is Special Dark, a slender (way slender) relative of the company’s classic dark chocolate bar. When we first unwrapped the bar, which come seven to a box, it was even smaller than we’d imagined. But the intensity of the chocolate made up for the small size. Though some find Hershey’s dark chocolate too bitter compared to pricier brands, we weren’t disappointed by the taste. We were still hungry, though.
