Have you ever checked out the ingredients of your favorite
brand of cracker? It can be frustrating to discover that most of the crackers
that line grocery store shelves are loaded with bad fats, sugar, and refined
grains and offer little (if any) nutritional value. Among the few truly whole-grain
crackers, I have always favored Triscuits, which are loaded with filling fiber
yet manage to not taste like cardboard. The downside is that one serving of
regular Triscuits is only 6 crackers, totaling to around 120 calories. Doesn’t
seem like much of a snack, does it?
Recently, I discovered Triscuit Thin Crisps, which have the
same ingredients as the original square crackers, but sport a smaller, thinner
triangle shape. A serving of the Thin Crisps is 15 crackers for around 130
calories – a significantly more snack-like serving, if you ask me.
And check out the ingredients: Whole grain soft white winter
wheat, soybean oil, salt.
That’s it! As far as crackers go, this is about as
nutritious as it gets. 3g of fiber, 3g of protein, no sugar, and 100% whole grain.
Let me know what you think!
Thanks for reading,
