   Here are a few one point snacks that I found...I find it is always hard to eat well  while snacking...I am looking forward to trying these. A couple of my other low point  favs to eat and snack on are light yoplait yogurts (most are 2 points) and 100 calorie  chocolate hostess mini cakes (1 point).   Anyone else have some favs?
