It’s time for a snack and you want something decadent, but you know you should have something healthy.  You are already sick of carrot sticks, and that candy bar is calling you.  If you like Fig Newtons and if you like chocolate, I have a great high fiber snack you can feel good about eating.  There is a dark chocolate covered fig snack called Figamajigs.  They come in regular snack bars, like a candy bar.  They also come in a bar with almonds and in “drop” form covered in either dark chocolate or orange and yellow coating.  All of these are high in fiber but taste great!  The drops are kind of like giant M&Ms, only healthy for you.

The bars run two points and the drops run three on the Weight Watchers plan, and they count as a fruit/veggie serving, so they make a great choice.  The dark chocolate will give you enough to feel like you are cheating, and the figs are naturally sweet.  They are a great treat for you or your children, and because the Figamajigs come in individual portions, you are much less likely to overeat.

I keep one of these snacks in my desk at work in case I start to get a chocolate craving, and they really do the trick.  They aren’t available in many outlets outside of California, but they are easily ordered on-line.  If you aren’t sure which of the options sounds best, you can always order the variety pack which will let you sample each of the options.  Happy snacking!

Cheers!
