This week it is all about Ice cream, after all July is National Ice cream Month. Check out all our Reviews of Ice cream of the low fat variety of course. Try a flavor you haven't tried before.

Pringles Baked Wheat Snack StikWhen I saw the new Pringles Baked Wheat Snack Stix, I had to grab a pack because they were so different from anything I associate with Pringles - they're not round, don't come in a tube and aren't potato chips. Pringle Stix are crispy cracker sticks made from baked wheat. I grabbed the only variety that I saw, which happened to be Honey Butter, but they also come in Vanilla, Crunchy Wheat and Pizza - yes none of them really sound like healthy alternatives, but they all sound delicious.

The Honey Butter variety is sweet and crispy. The sticks are quite thin, but there's just something about munching on a cracker stick that you can bite into a few times, that makes it seem long lasting and utterly satisfying as a snack. And these Honey Butter sticks are great when you munch on them with along with a cup of tea on a cold, wintery evening (I'm still finishing off Celestial Seasonings Sweet Coconut Chai Tea - read the review).

One pack of Pringles Snack Stik has 90 calories, 3.5 grams of total fat including 1.5 grams of saturated fat (5 and 7% of the recommended amount), no trans fat, low sodium with 6% of the RDA (150 mg), 2 grams of protein and 12 grams of total carbohydrates including 2 grams of sugar but no fiber. Whereas the nutrition facts aren't too bad, the ingredients list does have some cause for concern - palm oil (not hydrogenated but does add to the saturates and it occurs more than once); and the presence of MSG - didn't know food companies were still using this, and sucralose (Splenda) - I have nothing against Splenda - but must I see it in everything?!

Pringles Baked Wheat Snack Stik

A box of Pringles Stix cost $3.44, but each box has 10 individually wrapped servings - built in portion control which I love! Even though I would like to see them clean up the ingredients list some, I am still a fan of these Pringles Stix and look forward to trying the other varieties. The Honey Butter is for those who like sweet snacks, but if you want serious bang for your calories, check out Pepperidge Farm Pumpernickel Snack Sticks.

The logo reminds me of Frito-Lay's "Stax", which have been cutting into Pringles market share for chips. Coincidence?

Pretz, not pocky(pocky is coated!). It basically looks like an american version of Pretz.
Interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pretz

I don't know how I feel about single-serve packing. It's far from environmentally friendly and tends to annoy me.

My first thought was that these are like pockies. Oh well - I love pockies anyway, and these are healthier and easier to locate.

They are made in Thailand. I'm wondering if these are Pretz in a different package.

to die for! these are a great snack :) i love the fact that they are portion controlled --made with splenda -- the honey butter are my favorites -- the vanilla ones dont' have much flavor -- 2.98 at my local walmart -- i just love them -- and they are a pretty healthy choice for a snack

These things are absolutely delicious, and pretty healthy. Definitely have a distinct butter flavor that isn't fake tasting in the least. Since I'm on a perma-diet one of the few shots I have at eating anything buttery :)

I have been desperately (sounds pathetic, right?), trying to find the honey butter stix, but none of my local grocery stores have it )=: they have a tag for it, but there aren't any in stock. I don't guess anyone would consider mailing me some? I don't know how we would do a payment transaction... i could send a money order. Alot of trouble to go to, I know, but would be much apreciative!

According to the Pringles web site on nutrition information, there is 90 calories PER SERVING. There are 10 SERVINGS per PACK!! Beware, one pack is 900 calories!!! Talk about eating a stick of butter!
