I LOVE finding new snacks! Every time I shop it’s like a hunting expedition, my own little adventure.
Today my hunting ground was BJ’s, a local wholesale club, and my prey was Sensible Portions Multi Grain Mini Crisps. I’ve never heard of the brand before so I approached with extreme caution. I wasn’t going to be fooled by the frivolous displays of “whole grain” and “100 calories”. We all know these could possible be fake cries attempting to trap and confuse you into believing they are healthy.
To my surprise, upon inspecting my victim, I discover his claims to be of some merit. Made with whole grain corn, rice and oat flour these 100 calorie packs are a welcomed addition in the land empty calories, high fructose corn syrup and trans fats.
I tried both the apple cinnamon and cheddar flavors today. The crisps are very light and airy, think Quaker Mini Delights but lighter and crisper. The flavor is faint and just perfect.
Can you tell I liked them? I made a good kill, the serving size is good, they are exactly 1.5 points and I love the fact that I can feel good sharing a bag with the toddler!

What's Cooking in my kitchen?

Finally my first Farro idea! I have to say, I love this stuff! It's chewy and yummy and, well, fun! I tossed it with what I could find in my pantry and it made a wonderfully satisfying lunch. Filling but not heavy, tasty and quite nutrient dense. According to NutritionData.com this [...] -
I've seen it mentioned in a few of my clean eating and healthy cook books but honestly, I never even thought of Farro as an option for me. I refuse to shop at specialty stores and I try to use only common products that I can keep in stock and purchase from a typical grocery [...] -
I've never had a tuna melt. Is that weird? I guess that's what happens when you grow up not liking mayonnaise. I never ate tuna salad or egg salad or chicken salad. Honestly, they always kind of grossed me out. Then I realized.. hey.. why does tuna salad have [...] -
I have no idea where this idea came from. I was hungry. It was lunch. I had Brussels Sprouts. That was all the catalyst I needed.:) I decided to use a slice of real bacon to add flavor and little fat that would help sauté the sprouts. I'm trying [...] -
WOW was this good. I mean seriously good. It's not vegetarian so don't start throwing stones. I'm calling it a Garden Vegetable Burger because I use the new Laughing Cow Smooth Sensations Garden Vegetable Cream Cheese Spread. It was this recipe on Allrecipes.com that inspired [...] -
I drink water 99.9% of the time but every so often it just doesn't cut it. I want something else. Something more. Something slightly sweet. Today was one of those days. I decided to make a refreshing drink based on the famous Arnold Palmer, half lemonade and half iced [...] -
The other day I made a whole chicken on the grill in pieces. It was delicious! Just a little BBQ sauce and an open flame is all I need to make The Husband happy in the dinner department. I also picked up a few ears of corn from the grocery store. They aren't in season [...] -
Let me explain so you don't think I'm making a chili recipe and just put it on pizza. I'm calling this vegetarian Chili Pizza because chili is what inspired flavors. I think I told you. Little Bean is really into, well, BEANS! We go through a can about every 2 days. Yesterday [...] -
I've confessed my inability to follow recipes here on GreenLiteBites many, many times. I don't know why it's so hard for me. I can barely follow some of my own and I wrote the darn things! I think most of my problem stems from not having all the ingredients listed and, [...] -
Leftover brown rice and leftover sauce meet in this quick lunch idea inspired by my favorite food of all time: Pizza. I swear I can turn anything into a pizza concoction. Have you seen all my pizza ideas? I've used everything from pumpkin to zucchini, polenta to wontons. Nothing is off [...] -
This isn't a recipe just an idea I had to share. I can't believe how good it was! I've never had grilled pineapple. Can you believe it? I just never really had the desire to grill it before. When you love something raw sometimes it doesn't occur to you to cook it. [...] -
I whipped this up for lunch on a whim today because, well, I have a baby who's obsessed with three things… Cheese, Beans, and Avocado. No, really. Look... It's my go to meal for him so I find myself with beans and avocado readily available. [...] -
You know that tradition 7 Layer Mexican Dip? The one with the cream cheese, guacamole, salsa, lettuce, cheese, green onion and olives? Yea. That's the one. Well I had a craving for it the other day. Well, not exactly for it as I can never make anything the way it's suppose [...] -
If you go through the archives of GreenLiteBites I have about 5 total beef recipes. Five. Compare that to the 80+ I have tagged with chicken/turkey there's a clear winner in the meat department on my blog and in my home. I don't have a beef with beef (omg The Husband [...] -
I'm a kitchen sink smoothie maker. Whatever I have on hand goes in the blender and viola! A quick breakfast or a healthy snack. Last year I posted an "Elastic Approach" to how I make smoothies but I still like to share specific combinations that worked really well. This was one [...] -
The other night it was just the kids and I home for dinner and I decided to make what I wanted to make no holds barred. Without The Husband home it's much easier for some reason. Hmmm wonder why? Ok, not here to husband bash.. really.. I'm not! I'm here [...] -
*sigh* I was really hoping to share an awesome turkey burger idea. I had grand plans for my leftover ground turkey. The results was alright but they could have been so much better. I added diced pineapple, red pepper, green pepper, oats and soy sauce to the meat and formed 2 patties. In hindsight I [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday having no idea if it would work. To my surprise it did AND the husband actually said he liked it... UNSOLICITED! Here's the story. I had only 4 tilapia fillets defrosted for dinner. I knew it wasn't going to be enough for us [...] -
This is a slight reboot of a recipe I posted last year simply called Sweet Potato and Black Bean Chili. Staying true to my use-what-I-have-on-hand roots I, well, used what I had on hand and made a similar dish with a spicy twist. Topping the result with avocado added a cool creaminess that [...] -
Did you hear? The Laughing Cow recently launched Smooth Sensations a line of 5 cream cheese spreads. There's Classic Cream, Classic Cream Light, Strawberries & Cream, Garden Vegetable and my favorite… Cinnamon. It's a sweet wedge of creamy goodness! Today I decided to use my new favorite flavor [...] -
Confession time, I recorded a 30 minute video making this with both kids (partally) 2 nights ago. I miss videos. I really do but they seem so much more difficult with 2 children. I'm also having technical difficulties with my video recording and audio syncing making it VERY time consuming to edit. [...] -
A couple of years ago I shared a modified version of Sloppy Joe's I made for a party. Everyone loved it but I've been wanting to try to make something similar for the family on a smaller scale and without the pre-made canned Manwich sauce. I don't particularly have any issues [...] -
Yesterday I was dreaming about a salad. Not just any salad, but a chickpea filled, cucumber, and red onion salad with a fun, tangy dressing. Unfortunately, I had no cucumber or red onion. Well, that's a lie. I had a half of cucumber but it was a mushy mess and [...] -
Dinner meals are getting harder and harder for me to share lately. I've gone back to just whipping things up without really measuring anything (this meal was going to be one of those until I realized I still had enough light to take some photos.) I've also instituted a few brainless meal nights [...] -
Three years ago I posted a video called "Makin' Hard Boiled Eggs" where I shared my system for, well... making hard boiled eggs. Genius name, I know. I'm smart like that. Anyway, since then I've gotten tons of feedback and comments thanking me but all the information is locked in a long winded 10 minute [...]

I am so jealous you found the small bags. I can only find the regular size bags. The sea salt is awesome!
We get those at Costco, they are a great on the go snack! I have the opposite problem as wengergal, I can never find them in the large size bags, and sea salt flavor would be awesome!
Oooohhh, that sounds good. And holly says they’re at costco? I need to suck it up and get a membership. I keep hearing about yummy healthy foods there.

The crisps are really good. My mother in law gave some to my 4 year old and they were in my cabinet for few weeks, finally tried them while at school today, and these will be my new addiction! She shops at BJ’s so that is probably where she found them!!!
I contacted Josh up there, the Marketing Director of sensible portions, and he sent me a fabulous box of products from their company, a big box of cheddar & apple crisps plus bags of their pita chips in all 3 flavors (Sea Salt, Garlic Parmesan and Cinnamon Sugar). the crisps are sooo good, the cheese ones always give me that potato-chips/Cheetos/doritos fix!
The pita chips are good too especially the Garlic-parm ones..they are so flavorful and pretty filling too.
I recently found this at our supermarket (I live in the Philippines) and I love it!! The crsips were very light and very tasty! Too bad we only have the multi grain crisps. Would love to try the other variants.
I agree on all the posts on the taste and the natural ingredients. The crisps also leave me feeling very full so an added bonus.
Have you visited the Sensible Portions web site lately? We have a new product called Cheating with Chocolate. They are similar to the Multi Grain Mini Crisps that you all enjoy except they are Mini Crisps with a Chocolatey Drizzle.
These new mini crisps are made to taste like those all American favorite full fat snacks Cinnamon Buns and S’mores. Now you can enjoy these flavors in 100 Calorie snack portions.
Check it out and enjoy!
[...] so excited about this giveaway! The Sensible Portion folks have been very generous since I posted about finding their Multi Grain Mini Crisps at my Local BJ’s. Since then they sent me a bunch of products to try and honestly, I loved each [...]
