WAY back when, I did a food find for Sensible Portions Multi Grain Mini Crisps. I found them at my local BJ’s. After writing the review the company asked if they could send me additional samples to try and I agreed. They sent a plethora of items. So many the toddler thought it was Christmas! He kept calling them presents. :) Seriously it was almost everything in their product line.
Honestly, I liked them all. I don’t think they make a product I don’t care for! Most of their snacks are "lite" but there are only a few that I buy. Mostly because of my whole grain obsession. I really try to make most of my snacks "worth it". Does that make sense? I just don’t see the reason in snacking on empty stuff (unless it’s chocolate or swedish fish or ice cream) especially is there is a perfectly tasty whole grain alternative. For example they have pita chip, love them, they taste great but they aren’t whole grain. If I have the choice I’ll toast my whole whole grain pitas or choose one of their other whole grain products. I figure the more whole grains are in demand the more they’ll make! Hopefully. :)
So here are my favorite Sensible Portion snacks…
Sensible Portions Soy Crisps
These come in awesome 1.3 oz bags. Just the perfect size for 1 serving! I don’t know about you but if I can grab a bag of anything and not worry about portions I’m psyched. Per bag they are about 150 calories, 4.5g of fat, and 2 g of fiber. That’s 3 WWP. I love them with Salsa or bean dip.
- Sea Salt Soy Crisps
- LOVE these. You’d link they were too plain but they are great in salsa or dip.
- Honey Barbecue Soy Crisps
- My favorite straight out of the bag.
- Olive Oil & Herb Soy Crisps
- These are good but I choose the other two first.
Sensible Portions Multigrain Crisps
These also come in 1.3 oz bag and are just as good if not better then the soy crisps! With core ingredients like whole grain corn flour, whole grain rice flour, and whole grain oat flour I live snacking them with the toddler. Plus they have great flavors! Each flavor does have other ingredients but they are all 3 WWPs per bag!!
- Tomato Basil Multigrain Crisps
- LOVE these. Tons of flavor. The toddler? not so much.
- Apple Cinnamon Multigrain Crisps
- Awesome for a sweet snack.
- Cheddar Multigrain Crisps
- These are my favorite with salsa or bean dip.
- Parmesan & Herb Multigrain Crisps
- Not my favorite but still good!
- Sea Salt Multigrain Crisps
- Simple again, but I love them dipped!
Sensible Portions 8 Grain Crisps
These were completely new to me when they sent them. I brought a bag to my moms over the holidays and she loved them too. Unfortunately, I didn’t keep one so I can’t tell you what the ingredient list is. But I can tell you they aver 120 calories a serving with 4g of fat and 3g of fiber. That’s 2 WWP! Here are the only flavors I tried, although they do have more.
- Slightly Seasoned 8 Grain Crisps
- Again, simple but tasty!
- Fiesta Chili & Lime 8 Grain Crisps
- This was mom’s fav! :)
They also make lots of 100 cal packs, some whole grain, some not. They do have a chocolate and cinnamon min crisps that rival the Quaker Mini Delights. All in all, I’m a fan of their products. I just wish everything was whole grain.
Has anyone else tried or seen these in stores? Around me I think I’ve only caught them at BJ’s. If you can’t find them click here to see what they have on Amazon.

I've recently discovered the amazing combination of cheese and dried cherries. I know, it sounds weird, but seriously… good! The other day I smeared some Laughing Cow Light Swiss on Cucumber slices and then topped with a cherry. It was a fun, sweet twist on standard cheese and crackers. Well, cheese [...] -
If I was a good blogger this idea would have been published BEFORE the Super Bowl not during it. I made these today to have a little fun. Surprisingly, The Husband liked them even though he didn't eat more than one. Why? Because he's strange like [...] -
If you read my weight loss blog you know I'm battling a bit of back and neck pain right now. I'm starting to feel a little better but those first few days where rough. Being the head chef of the household, this meant we ordered in a couple of times. I'm [...] -
I'm LOVING Pinterest! I can just scroll all day long looking at food photo after food photo. I wish I had more time to peruse! (I'm RoniNoone there by the way?) The other day I pinned a Portabello Mushroom pizza and was immediately inspired. It's such a simple idea and so light. [...] -
The other day I found myself craving an Orange Julius. Are they as popular as I think they are? Growing up we had an Orange Julius at our local mall. It was always a treat for us at the end of a family shopping trip. Once I was old enough to be [...] -
So I'm a little breakfast nutty at the moment. Little Bean LOVES eggs and I find myself cooking them more and more. This morning I decided to go super light (after last nights chocolate overload) and it was totally satisfying for just over 100 calories! The trick to making [...] -
A few weeks ago I saw Chef Michael Simon make a raw kale salad on The Chew. He sliced beets up real thin and cut the kale into ribbons. Then made a vinaigrette out of red wine vinegar and olive oil. I was immediately intrigued. So far I've only [...] -
I've had this idea for a quick creamy chicken dish for a few days now. It was time to give it a shot. The whole family LOVED it. I'm not joking. The only complaint came from Little Guy who declared his hate of mushrooms yet again BUT he ate everything around them. Fine [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday as I had leftover avocado after feeding the baby and leftover Spaghetti squash cooked from the weekend. I roasted the squash to serve with my Chicken tips instead of potatoes and it was AMAZING! Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. So I'm sitting there staring [...] -
It's post holiday season. You know what that means? Leftover Crescent rolls to experiment with! Every year for Thanksgiving I buy a few canisters. It's the only time I do as I can't be trusted around them. Let's just say I'd beat you in the How-Many-Crescent-Rolls-Can-You-Eat-In-One-Sitting game and leave [...] -
Last week the kids and I tried parsnips for the first time and I've made them 3 times since. I wanted to figure out the best way to roast them. Yeah, that's it, the best way to roast them. You'll buy that right? Right? The truth is, I'm obsessed. I found myself [...] -
Yesterday just felt like a good day to stuff an acorn squash. I had one sitting on my counter for quite some time and it was just begging to be cooked. Since both husband and child don't like it I made a solo meal just for me and, well, it was DELICIOUS! [...] -
I bought a fennel bulb on a whim for the holidays not knowing quite what I would do with it. Of course I forgot about until yesterday when I was rummaging through the fridge trying to figure out what I wanted to make for breakfast. I pulled it out and stared [...] -
I probably should have warned you I was taking a holiday hiatus. I've been soaking up every moment of family time imaginable these last few days, leaving no time for anything else. Not even blogging! Shocking I know. ;) So I return not with a new recipe, per se, but to [...] -
Here's a quick idea for when you find yourself with a spaghetti squash but don't quite know what to do with it. Come on. Admit it. That's happened to you too. It's sure happened to me! I roasted this squash on Sunday... [...] -
I'm not sure if this will be a crowd pleaser, but I liked it and thought I'd share in hopes it inspires you to have some fun with kale. I loved the combination of sweet pear, earthy kale, salty bacon bits and creamy hummus. The only issue with the wrap was [...] -
I'm going on day 2 of counting Weight Watcher Points and I'm already inspired to come up with light, healthy meals for myself. It's like I needed the constraint of points to motivate me. Isn't that weird? Anyway, all morning I was brainstorming what to make for lunch. I wanted something flavorful [...] -
I have a friend who patiently cleaned, peeled and cubed a fresh pumpkin and then selflessly gave me some. Scratch that, a TON! I would have never even thought of doing something like that! But now that I have it in my fridge the ideas are flowing. First, I roasted some [...] -
CHRISTMAS COOKIES! YAY! Sorry. I'm so excited! Little Guy and I had tons of fun making and decorating cookies today. It may just be my favorite part of the holiday season. I loved it when I was a kid and now I get to do it with my own kids. [...] -
This may be my simplest idea yet, but it was so tasty and satisfying I had to share. Plus you guys know I'm a Laughing Cow Community Leader so I'm all about sharing fun ways to use their products. You guys may also know how I feel about pausing and making [...] -
I made this on Thursday. THURSDAY! I hate when I can't post something I've eaten within 24 hours. It just bugs me. Not sure why, it really doesn't matter when I post it, does it? Anyway, I did whip this up to cure a pizza craving and I couldn't be happier. [...] -
It's been awhile since I jazzed up a tilapia fillet. I've breaded them before, coated them in oats, flavored them like one of my favorite drinks and topped them with a fun salsa. It was time to bring nuts into the party. You are going to think I'm crazy but I've [...] -
Fun leftover turkey idea #2! Click here for leftover turkey idea #1. I had a little Gouda leftover from this years Harvest Salad and decided to put all the same flavors from the salad into a quesadilla. I just can't get enough of the smokey gouda/sweet craisin combo. It goes [...] -
It's the day after Thanksgiving and my refrigerator ROCKS! I have leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted Brussels Sprouts, a bunch of veggies and tons of miscellaneous fun stuff. I've already made stock from the bones (like this) and my first batch of soup, Classic Turkey Noodle. I hope to share [...] -
I'm so sorry I've been slacking in the Thanksgiving recipe department. I feel like a bad food blogger. Everyone else is posting festive ideas and here I've gone missing for a few days. Maybe it's because I'm not doing anything special for Turkey day. I finally got my holiday cooking [...]

I found these at Costco about two years ago and have been buying them for my kids ever since. They actually had their chocolate drizzle type products out before Quaker;-)
Really! I haven’t even seen the chocolate ones around here. Then again I don’t shop at Costcos. :) Thanks!
The thing I’ve found about all these kind of snacks is they’re about the same WWPoints as regular chips. If I liked doritos I could have 14 of those for the same points. Plus I think people think soy, rice, pita etc. is healthy and eat much more than a reasonable portion of the regular stuff. They don’t seem to have more fiber or nutrition that “regular” chips. Just my 2 cents.
Those sound yummy, I’ll have to look for them!
These sound just awesome!
I’m totally going to look for these here in AZ – they sound delicious.
Good point Lanette – If that’s what you like! I do find actually since these are “lighter” literally as in ‘weigh less’. I get way more then 14. A normal serving is usually 28 I think. That’s double! For me I’d rather eat “more” I feel like I’m being bad when really I’m not. It’s all my own mental mind tricks. :)
I found them at the Christmas Tree Store. A mix box of Cinna Swirl, Cookie Dough and Pretzel Crunch. The only problem with that store is that they don’t have the same products on a consistent basis :(
I’m going to have to check these out.
SMK, if you find them in AZ, let me know where! (I live up in Flagstaff, but get to Phoenix once in a while.)
I haven’t seen those before! I’ll have to check them out.
BTW, I added you to my blog roll – I could have sworn I did that ages ago, but realized yesterday you weren’t.
Sorry for the delay and have a great weekend!
Oooh, they look really good! I love “more” for “less” :)
The 8 Grain Crisps looks exactly like the 8 Grain Crisps at Trader Joe’s that goes for $1.99 a bag. I’ve tried the TJ ones before and they are delicious!!
I saw the mention of free samples of these in your archives from last year, and just a few weeks ago, I emailed the contact info they left in the comments section. They sent me a HUGE box of samples! I love them all….
Believe it or not, their website lists Costco, Staples & 7-11 along with a number of other stores as places to purchase Sensible Portion products. I know I’ve gotten them at Costco, but that was a while ago. It’s nice to know that they are carried at 7-11 – a sugar-free Slurpee and a package of Sensible Portions – now that’s a snack!
I went to BJ’s on Sunday to pick these up (and Lavash bread) but I couldn’t find these anywhere! I love anything that I can grab and go because I spend so much time in the car. Oh well, I will try Costco over the weekend…
Love the Lavash bread toasted with honey and a little dab of smart balance for breakfast! Thanks for the great finds, Roni!
Meghan – Last time I found them in the snack aisle next to all the granola bars and stuff. They only came in a case of the 100 cal packs.
Glad you like the Lavash! It’s one of my favs!
