Taste Test Tuesday: South Beach Living Fiber Fit Cookie Packs!
Got a sweet tooth craving but want to keep your extra calories and grams of sugar to a minimum and your grams of fiber to a maximum? Well, there are two new cookies on the supermarket shelf that might just come in handy. Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk and Double Chocolate Chunk are manufactured under the "South Beach Living - Fiber Fit" product line and I've got to say, they had me at the 5 grams of fiber and the 5 grams of sugar. They do taste pretty good (I prefer the Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk) and the 6 mini cookies per pack seem to quell most sweet cravings.
They are made with mostly semisweet chocolate, whole grain wheat flour, high oleic canola oil and oat fiber with sweetener coming from several different directions - sugar, maltitol (a sugar alcohol), sucralose (Splenda) and acesulfame potassium.
The 5.1-ounce box contains 6 individual packs and they are often on sale for about $2.50 or less, so keep your eye out for the sales.

1 package: 100 calories, 5 g fat, 1.5 g saturated fat, 1 g protein, 5 g fiber, 5 g sugar (2 g sugar alcohol)

Hi Elaine! I agree - these are yummy and I'm a fan of the fiber as well. I've been looking for a good recipe for oatmeal chocolate chip cookies that incorporates whole wheat flour, fat replacers (applesauce, etc.) and dark chocolate. I'd like to recreate the concept of the SB cookies, but bake them myself to save $$ and wasteful packaging. The snack packs are great when you are on the run, but I hate to rely on them...
I'll see if I can pull a recipe like this together to replace this one. I agree about the packaging! I recycle the box but even recycling uses energy.
Great idea Kate, RD!
I've used these since they were first put on the shelves...they do hit the spot for a sweet-tooth craving!
I have never heard of these and I eat quite a few south beach snacks, (not all at the same time lol). Will be keeping an eye out esp. for the choc. chunk don't much care for oatmeal

Hi kate,
Try beth's chocolate chip cookies recipe from eating well.com. They are awesome. I made them with no butter (used applesauce instead and no egg (used flax seed solution instead and very little olive oil and they still came out great . Make sure you look at all the comments that people have made so that you can get ideas about what all you can sustitute. Let me know how it turns out.
