South Beach Living Fiber Fit Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies come in pre-portioned 100 calorie snack packs, and while I am not a big fan of this snack size (who says snack are supposed to be 100 calories?), I was impressed that they managed to pack 20% of the daily recommendations of fiber into each serving, so I was excited to try it.
When I opened the pack and emptied the contents onto a plate, 6 cookies fell out. They were 6 deliciously sweet and chocolatey cookies, but certainly not enough for a snack by itself. The name says "double chocolate" but it didn't taste any extra chocolatey to me. I also didn't really experience any chocolate chunks - but then again, these were just a little bit bigger than a quarter, and not very thick, so it's hard to distinguish any ingredients. A good use for this, might be coupled with tea (may I suggest Celestial Seasonings Original Indian Spice TeaHouse Chai), or crumbled over some low fat yogurt like Dannon Light n Fit 0% Plus Strawberry Yogurt, and since you wouldn't need more than 2 or 3, it would certainly make this pack last longer.
Each 24 gram pack of South Beach Living Fiber Fit Double Chocolate Chunk Cookies provides 100 calories, 5 grams of total fat including 1.5 grams of saturated fat (both are 8% of the daily value), no trans fat, 4% of the daily value for sodium (85 mg), 1 gram of protein and 17 grams of carbohydrates which includes 20% of the DV for fiber (5 grams) and 5 grams of sugars. There is also 2 grams of sugar alcohols.
The 5.1-ounce box contains 6 individual packs and they are often on sale for about $2.50 or less. Don't think this alone will satisfy your hunger, but by using it creatively and paired with other low calorie products, you can definitely come up with a filling snack. If you have a sweet tooth, then put these in your pantry.
