Light snacks
Crunchy and spicy: pepper chips
Alternative: Saltletts bits
Two handfuls (40 grams) have 13 grams of fat and 204 calories. Good thing? The thin crispy slices make clearly happy! But? Frying fat is not exactly healthy. Easy alternatives: Oven chips (funny fresh) - just as crispy, but only 4 grams of fat and 164 calories per 40 grams. And delicious - thanks to crème fraîche. Saltlet's bits with pieces of olive (Lorenz). The small snack bars taste very spicy. One hand full (30 grams) is enough to quench your appetite. Makes 5 grams of fat and 132 calories. Olives provide healthy fat.
Nutty and spicy: roasted peanuts
Alternative: Asia Mix
50 grams (two hands full) provide 25 grams of fat and 298 calories (eg from Ültje). Good thing? Makes you plenty of protein for a while. And there is healthy fat in it. But? Clearly too rich for a snack. Roasted and salted nuts stimulate the appetite and seduce you to eat. Easy alternatives: Asian Mix, Chinese rice pastry with peanut balls (Delvita). Two handfuls (40 g) have only 2 grams of fat and 162 calories. Nut feeling in the superlight way. Wasabi Coated Green Peas - dried peas with wasabi, Japanese horseradish, coated (Lim & Co). A sharp nibbling fun! If you are tough, you may make a handful (about 10 grams). They only have 1 gram of fat and 43 calories.
Delicate and sweet: cream and cream chocolate
Alternative: grape nut chocolate
Two ribs (40 g) provide 244 calories and 18 g fat (Milka). Good thing: a wonderfully creamy treat! But? The filling consists almost exclusively of (saturated) fat and sugar. Easy alternatives: Silver chocolate with the sugar substitute maltitol and almost no milk (sarotti). Maltitol is tooth friendly. However, two ribs still deliver 196 calories and 15 grams of fat. Tastes delicious and is not so sweet. Grape nut chocolate, a good choice because of the many fruits and nuts (eg from Milka). Although two ribs have 196 calories, but still only 10 grams of fat. Grapes provide fiber, nuts saturating protein and healthy fat.
Crispy and creamy: biscuits with chocolate filling
Alternative: micro sticks
One serving (two pieces, 48 grams) has 228 calories and 10 grams of fat (De Beukelaer). Good thing? The biscuit chocolate combination is not as powerful as pure chocolate. But? Light flour does not fill you up for long, and the healthiest thing about the cookie, the cocoa, you have to look for with a magnifying glass. Easy alternatives: Crunchy balls - the chocolate balls crackle in the mouth like a biscuit. And taste chocolate with less fat and sugar (Brandt). Inside there is even a whole grain kernel. Portion (20 pieces): 144 calories and 7 grams of fat. Mikado sticks, thin biscuit sticks with a lot of fine chocolate (Bahlsen). A serving (15 pieces) quenches the chocolate Jieper with only 143 calories and 5 g of fat.
Caramel and crisp: Snickers Cruncher
The bar with peanuts, caramel and crunchy rice (40 grams) looks light, but is a power pack: 208 calories and 11 grams of fat (Masterfoods). Good thing? Peanuts are not wrong (see above). But? The full sugar and fat drone. Less would be enough - but who stops after half? Easy alternatives: Duplo, waffle bar with nougat cream (18 grams, Ferrero). 98 calories, 6 grams of fat. The waffle makes the snack light, and the portion is just right against the sweet hunger. Fellow, a hazelnut square with waffle (20 grams, Allos). 120 calories, 9 g fat. Although not a fat-saving miracle, but contains healthy fat from the hazelnut. In addition, it's a bio-cuts made from whole grains and without additives.
Airy and easy: Donut
Alternative: Berliner
The deep-fried kringle (75 g) has "only" 196 calories, but 18 grams of fat (Drave). Good thing? The right one for low carb fans (almost no carbohydrates). But? Has fat in the dough and absorbs a lot of unhealthy frying fat when baking. Easy alternatives: Berliner pancakes (75g): 225 calories, 6 grams of fat (Kamps). The sweet filling strains the calorie account, but the donut is surprisingly low in fat. And fill you up. Blueberry muffin (50 g): 188 calories, 10 g fat (confectionery). Balanced mixture. Makes you very well fed and full of cake hunger. Blueberries provide folic acid.
As we have compared:
You can eat more of one snack, less of the other. Therefore it makes no sense to stubbornly compare by number of grams. It is realistic, for example, that you nibble 50 grams of nuts, but after ten grams of peas sharp enough. That's why we tried every snack and determined a serving portion.
