10 Do-It-Yourself Snacks Under 100 Calories

Tired of those unsatisfying 100-calorie versions of chips and cookies you buy at the grocery store?

Here are 10 do-it-yourself snacks that are under 100 calories if you exercise portion control. And here’s the best part — they’re delicious!

Eating small snacks in between meals can help prevent you from over-eating when meal time rolls around!

Frozen Chocolate-Covered Bananas: "Kids will love dipping bananas in melted chocolate and rolling them in coconut to make this tasty frozen treat." Recipe

Cherry Cream Cheese: "Make your own flavored cream cheese by stirring in fresh, in-season cherries. We like the flavor of black cherries, but any kind will work. Spread this on your morning bagel or sandwich it between graham crackers for a cherry cheesecake-inspired snack." Recipe

Cheesy Popcorn: "Freshly grated parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper dress up air-popped popcorn." Recipe

Cinnamon Oranges: "This simple dessert works any time of the year, but its flavors will be the best and brightest in the winter when oranges are at their peak." Recipe

Guacamole-Stuffed Eggs: "Leftover guacamole serves as a delicious stuffing for hard-boiled eggs." Recipe

Edamame-Ginger Dip: "Think of this dip as an Asian version of hummus, made with edamame, ginger and soy. Serve with rice crackers and/or carrot sticks." Recipe

Hawaiian Smoothie: "For the best taste and color, use a red-fleshed Hawaiian papaya for this exotic, lip-puckering taste of island summer. Papayas are loaded with papain, a digestive enzyme, so this smoothie is a good dessert to settle stomachs after a substantial meal." Recipe

Mini Greek Pizza Muffins: "All the flavors of a Greek pizza make these savory muffins bite-size treats for adults and kids alike." Recipe

Chocolate & Nut Butter Bites: "Sweet satisfaction in seconds." Recipe

EatingWell's Pimiento Cheese: "This southern favorite is a simple blend of cheddar, mayonnaise and pimientos. If you like spicy foods, add a few shakes of hot sauce. Serve with crackers for an appetizer or as a sandwich spread for lunch!" Recipe
