New Low Calorie Loves


New Calorie Loves
So I have a few new loves I discovered, so I thought I'd share! 



My newest low calorie friend is the GoPicnic ready to eat meals. 
Now the entire box of course is not low cal, but each individual snack ranges from 30-80 calories... :-) 
It is the perfect portion for those who like portioned prepackaged snacks but can not bare to consume an entire "100" calorie pack. Plus these snacks tend to be higher quality and higher in nutrition than the 100 calorie packs. 

My Favorite snacks within the GoPicnic meals are:

The Turkey Pepperoni & Cheese: 
The entire box is 330 calories

Broken down:

Turkey Peperoni Slices: 60 calories
Multiseed Crackers: 60 calories
Cheese Spread: 50 calories
Caramel Lollipop: 50 calories
Mixed fruit & nuts: 100 calories


So as you can see, you could get a few days worth of snacks out of one of these "meals." 

Another GoPicnic meal I like:

Turkey Stick & Crunch
The entire box is 300 calories. 

Broken down:

Turkey Jerky Stick: 35 calories (my favorite)
Popchips BBQ Flavor: 45 calories
Tutti Fruity Seed Blend: 70 calories
Peel A Part Fruit Leather Strip: 70 calories
Chocolate Rice Crisp Bar: 52 calories

So you get the idea by now. You can go to their website for more options and breakdowns on calories. GoPicnic.com


Moving onward, my other new low calorie loves...




Cherry & Almond
Whole Fruit & Nut Bar
130 calories

What I like about these is that they are a lower calorie Kindbar (which are usually 180-220 calories)




Tropical Smoothie Cafe Smoothies made with Splenda

Depending on what you order the smoothies range from 125-180 when made with splenda.
When I tell you, these smoothies are HUGE I am not exaggerating. They can easily last for 2 meals. 


My favorite Tropical Smoothies made with Splenda

Blue Lagoon- 135 calories
Blimey Limey- 159 calories
Sunrise Sunset- 145 calories
Rockin' Raspberry- 125 calories
