There are a few new products on the market I wanted to share with you. I like to have the occasional sandwich, but don’t necessarily like a lot of bread. Orowheat has come out with a line of sandwich thins. They come in mult-grain, whole wheat, and honey wheat. For about 100 calories and 5 grams of fiber per bun (top and bottom) these are hard to beat.

Another RD friend of mine suggested PopChips! These are potato chips that are not fried or baked – they are popped. Apparently, they apply heat and pressure to the potato slices and they pop. I don’t really care how they are made, they are YUMMY! At about 120 calories per tasty serving, these are another product that is hard to beat. They really do taste good (not like eating baked chips).

Freeze-dried fruit (particularly apples & pears) have quickly become one of my favorite treats. They are sweet and crispy with minimal calories – about 35 per serving. One of my favorites is Brother’s All Natural Fruit Crisps. They come in both individual servings (great to keep in the car or desk) and larger bags. I’m reaching for these when I need something sweet in the afternoon.

I hope you enjoy these new items.
