Go raw, go natural

The biggest rage these days in the packaged snacks are the 100 calories snacks. I see these 100 calorie snack packs for cookies, chips, fruit bars you name it. These snacks may lack high calories but they also lack good nutrition. Even the fruit bars and the so called nutritious snacks are made with highly processed ingredients. In the manufacturing process of these products a large percentage of the most beneficial nutrients are destroyed. There is a much better alternative to the packaged 100 calorie snack. Nature has been packaging 100 calories snack for us since the beginning of time. These snacks are loaded with the best nutritional ingredients. These are called fruit. For just 100 calories you can eat a banana, apple or pear just to name a few. They are sweet, refreshing, much more filling, loaded with healthy ingredients and much less expensive than those pre-packed snacks you may have been buying. Give fruit a try, you won’t be sorry.

By the way, research has shown that many people knowing they are eating only 100 calorie packaged snacks tend to eat more than one package and end up eating more than they intended to.
