After the jump, find your new favorite hundred-calorie snack!
100-CALORIE SERVINGS
1. Greek Yogurt (sprinkled with cinnamon): 3/4 of a cup. Most applauded for probiotics, Greek yogurt can help with digestion while also giving a great dose of filling protein.
2. Hard Boiled Eggs: 1 and 1/2 eggs. Eggs are one of the most nutritionally dense foods available—it packs a punch when you’re in need of protein.
3. Avocados: 1/2 of an avocado. Full of heart-healthy fats, fiber, and potassium, a half an avocado is incredibly versatile–throw it on a salad, in a sandwich, or eat it doused in hot sauce like we do.
4. Bell Peppers: 4 medium peppers. Super low in calories and full of vitamins, bell peppers are the perfect snack to crunch away on. Use them as a scoop for salsa and fresh dips.
5. Bananas: One small-medium banana, about 7 inches long. Packed with potassium, a banana is the perfect pick-me-up.
6. Almond Butter: 1 tablespoon. This spoonful of goodness will give you a dose of fiber and good fat, and disguise itself as a sweet treat. Check out our clean version (Just almonds and salt!)—it’s a crowd fave.
7. Pepper Jack Cheese: 1 ounce, or about 3 small cubes. The serving is about the size of matchbox. We’re always in the mood for cheese.
8. Sweet Potato: 1 medium sweet potato. Filling, sweet, rich in vitamins, and full of fiber? This is the perfect snack for when hunger strikes hard. Try Greek yogurt as a topping.
9. Pistachios: 18 grams, which is approximately 27-30 shelled nuts. Pistachios are a perfect go-to for crunchy cravings and will help keep you feeling satisfied longer.
