3 Healthy Snacks Under 200 Calories


1. Simply Sweet Potato Fries

Try this great alternative to french fries. Pre-heat your oven to 350. Slice one sweet potato into thin strips and toss with 2 teaspoons of olive oil, salt and pepper. Place them on a parchment paper-lined pan or cookie sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. If you like your fries extra crunchy, leave them in for one additional minute. CALORIES: 191.


2. Raspberry and Greek Yogurt Parfait

Did you know that many ready-made parfaits available in stores are filled with sugar? For a healthier and lighter version, try making your own at home. In a bowl, mix ¾ cup of plain low-fat Greek yogurt with 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Then layer 1 cup of fresh or frozen raspberries and the yogurt into a clear glass cup and garnish with a couple of mint leaves. CALORIES: 189.


3. Seaweed Tofu Wrap

Try our sushi inspired roll. Mix ½ a cup of shredded red cabbage with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Then, on a sheet of seaweed, place firm tofu, some cabbage and roll it up as to make a sushi roll. If you are preparing this to go, try wetting the edge of the seaweed sheet to help it stay wrapped. If you prefer a crunchier roll, skip the water and prepare to eat on the spot. CALORIES: 177.
