Fig Newtons

Little pre-portioned bags of delicious snacks are all the rage right now, and I for one love them. Sure I could buy the real thing and portion them out the out myself, but it just isn't the same. A whole bag of these tiny pre-portioned sizes are usually equivalent to just one or two of the regular item, and for some reason that is just so much more satisfying to me.

Recently, Fig Newtons joined the snack size craze with mini packs of their 100% whole grain cookies. The husband is a big fan of Fig Newtons, and these little snack packs are dairy free, so he was super excited when these hit the store shelves. I realize regular Fig Newtons aren't too bad when it comes to fat and calories, but the serving size is only like one or two cookies. And if we bought a whole bag we'd probably eat them all ;) At only 2 points a piece, these mini packs are definitely the way to go.

The packs come in original and strawberry flavors, and we've tried them both. Now of course the originals are great, but there is just something special about the strawberry flavored ones. I don't know what it is, but they are just too good. And the husband agrees. He has taken a bag with him to work for a snack every day this week. Needless to say these are not going to last long in our house.
