You can eat anything in appropriate amounts, but these healthy grab-and-go snacks will make you happy you don’t have to cut, bag and eat raw veggies.

The popular 100-calorie snack category is a recent entry on the market appealing to consumers who believe 100 is the magic number marking a sensible portion that also satisfies hunger between meals. Bridge the lunch and dinner gap with Fiterati’s picks when you’re craving anything salty, savoury, sweet, chewy, crunchy or creamy.

Salty
Pringles: No mini version in this can, just 12 crisps that boast the same smell, feel and taste of the uniquely curved chip. Granted there’s little nutritional value in this and the next chip selection found in the grocery snack aisle, yet if salty satisifaction is what your seeking Mr Pringles suggests the new sour cream & onion flavour. www.pringles.com

Mini Bites Dorito Nacho Cheese: The name says it all – tiny triangles of nacho cheese tortilla chips, but with the same big taste and aroma of regular crisps. Just don’t play the puzzle game matching four sides of the mini bites to configure one regular size nacho (like the serious snackers over at taquitos.net). That makes your snack-pack seem even smaller and you’ll feel gypped. Highly-addictive, these tiny tastes proved the hardest to limit to one pouch. Watch out for cool ranch packs. www.fritolay.com
