Fantastic New (to me) Snack

I love to snack....I mean, I reallllly love to snack. Of course, some of the snacks that I eat are of the unhealthy variety (ahem), BUT I love the healthy stuff too!

Yesterday, I ran into my favorite supermarket, ShopRite, and found a super delicious and wholesome snack from the Snack Factory and I just HAD to share it with you!

I love pretzels, so when I saw these bags of pretzel thins sitting on a rack as soon as I walked through the door, they caught my eye.

I picked up the garlic parmesan flavor and let me tell you, those bad boys are goooood!! I'm eating some as I type up this blog post. They're baked and one serving (10 pretzel crisps) contains only 110 calories, 1.5 grams of fat and 3 grams of protein. Talk about yummy and healthful! I think I'm going to have to make my way back to the supermarket and get a few more bags. I used the $1 coupon on the bag, plus my ShopRite card and only paid $0.99!!

You see, it's the small things in life that make me happy!!

Have a great day!!
