If you're watching what you eat and doing the whole “whole-grains, high protein, plenty of fruits and vegetables” thing – good for you.  After all, we all know the facts about healthy eating.  It promotes overall physical health, reduces the chance of obesity, and prevents a number of potentially life-threatening diseases. 

But at the end of the day – we're all entitled to a little snackaroo.  (Or at the beginning of the day – or perhaps in the middle AND at the end of the day, I'm not one to judge).

Whether you're looking for a healthy snack that won't undo your entire calorie-counting day, or you're just plain searching for a tasty indulgence, here are 25 great snacks 100 calories or less.  You know what that means – whether or not it's snack time, you'll find time for these small delights:

• ½ cup of slow churned ice cream
• 6 cups of microwave popcorn
• Mini quesadilla
• Cottage cheese and cantaloupe
• Three crackers with cheese on top
• Fourteen almonds
• Six whole-grain pretzel sticks
• Baked apple
• Cheese stuffed pita pocket
• Blueberry smoothie
• 1/3 cup of edamame
• ¾ cup frozen mango cubes
• Eight baby carrots with hummus
• Apple slices with peanut butter
• Yogurt with sunflower seeds
• Nonfat Greek yogurt with honey
• Half a baked potato with salsa
• Frozen yogurt sandwich
• 20 pistachios
• Frozen banana pop
• 1 cup of tomato soup
• 1/3 cup dry oats cereal
• 1 cup of grapes
• Smoked salmon pinwheel
• One cup jicama sticks and salsa

Yes, some may sound more tantalizing (ice cream, smoothie, popcorn) than others (cantaloupe, edamame, baked apple) – but keep an open mind.
