My Glenny Soy Crisp story began when I came upon these in a neighborhood store, and decided to try them, not paying any attention to the ingredients or the nutrition info.  I popped one in my mouth and was literally floored: they were amazingly yummy.  So much, that I ate the whole 3 oz. bag.  But here’s the thing: you don’t need to feel guilty and this is why:  the whole bag contains 3 grams of fat and 170 cal.  So, I have purchased bag after bag since and the barbecue flavor easily surpasses in flavor my favorite BBQ potato chips and of course, I don’t have to hit the gym for hours to burn it off.   These chips help curb my snack attack because they are loaded with protein and little to no fat.

What’s more, eating a few small healthy snacks between meals helps with weight loss by keeping cravings down plus if your meals are not perfectly balanced, snacks can help you meet healthful guidelines for calcium and protein intake.  Studies have even shown that eating several small meals a day instead of three large ones is better for your health and helps your weight loss by keeping your metabolism revved up.  You know you can’t beat that.  Plus now the FDA recommends 25 grams of soy protein a day may reduce the risk of heart disease. Increasing the amount of soy in your diet is easy to achieve with Glenny’s snacks. One serving contains 9g Pure Non-GMO Soy Protein, which is more soy protein than tofu or soy milk.   Finally, 100 Calorie Glenny’s snacks let you control your portion sizes and properly count your calories so you can stay fit and slim.

Yes, Nabisco now offers several of its yummy traditional snacks in smaller, sweetly portioned servings called 100 Calorie Packs. The line includes: Wheat Thins, Cheez-Nips, Honey Maid Graham Crackers, and Chips Ahoy Cookies, to name a few.  The packs average about 3 grams of fat and are a great alternative to junk foods.  They are also perfect for dropping in your briefcase, or carry-on for a satisfying snack.
Though I love most of the 100 calorie snacks, the Oreos are lacking the creamy white center.  One of my faves by far is the Lorna Doone Shortbread pack which offers 18 miniaturized versions of Nabisco’s traditional shortbread biscuit.  I love the crunchy and smooth buttery taste with ice cream or with a dab of strawberry jam.  Excellent. The 100 calorie packs Ritz toasted chips “minis” are also quite good and quite a few crackers come in that snack-sized bag.  These guys are great fit for lunch boxes or a briefcase.  The Cheez Nips are also yummy broken up over a green salad for a cheesy, croutony lunch treat.  But I am a cheese fanatic, so perhaps a bit biased too.
Many have no trans fats and no cholesterol.  For those all-natural freaks: you already know that these snacks do contain artificial colors and flavors too.  But what I like about these treats is that we are allowed to snack again, guilt free! Imagine that.
