\"\"<\/a>Most of the time when we snack, we just want the act of snacking. Rarely does anyone actually need those extra calories, but most need\u00a0the boost in nutrition from a healthy snack\u00a0to help hit your daily nutrition requirements.<\/p>\n

Sensible Foods<\/a><\/strong> dried fruit and vegetable snacks are the perfect snack for dieters- the calories are almost negligible, they are made from whole foods and they keep your mouth busy with satisfying little crunches. Sensible Foods come in a ton of different flavors, including Apple, Corn, Edemame, Tropical Blend, Strawberry-Banana, Soynut, Cherry Berry, and\u00a0Orchard Blend. Sensible Snacks uses a process that removes the water while maintaining the product’s cell structure and nutritional value, and intensifies the flavor. The process gives them a shelf life of over two years, and each packet is the equivalent to 1\/2 cup of fresh fruit, or 1 serving of your 5 a day. They range in calories, but all clock in at under 100 calories<\/a><\/strong> per pouch.<\/p>\n

I love healthy foods in all forms, and choose my snacks based more on their nutritional profile than their taste. Being the healthy minority of my mid-20 peer group, I always like to run new healthy food products by some “average” eaters to get their spin. I gave some Cherry Berry\u00a0to a fruit-a-phobe friend of mine, who quickly demolished the whole packet claiming he loved them because they taste like Fruity Pebbles. This is a true statement, which quickly led to an experiment of whether drowning them in milk would cause them to puff back up into berry form. It did not.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The same friend quickly grabbed a bag of the corn, which at\u00a070 calories a pop,\u00a0makes a great savory, crunchy snack<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0anytime. Expecting them to taste\u00a0like Corn Nuts, his first reaction was “Whoa, these actually taste like corn!”\u00a0Imagine that-\u00a0food that tastes like real food. I weep for the eating habits of my generation.<\/p>\n

These snacks are perfect stocking stuffers for calorie counscious dieters<\/a><\/strong>. The fruit is great\u00a0spinkled on yogurt, mixed in with homemade trail mix, or\u00a0enjoy straight out of the pouch for a very low calorie snack you can feel good about carrying around. I know mindless eating isn’t something I should condone, but sometimes you just need to zone out in front of the TV with a crunchy snack.\u00a0Sensible Foods\u00a0are a no brainer you should keep on hand for just such an occassion.<\/p>\n
