Wow! I just had to write a note about a GREAT product I found at Trader Joe's. I don't get down to Portland too often, but when I do, I always make it a point to stop in. They have great prices on really good, healthy foods. They have their not-so-healthy fare as well, but I digress.
I found something called "Fiberful Ends and Pieces." It is a bag of the ends of the fiberful (basically fruit leather) bars they sell. For a paltry 2.50 (I believe, don't have the receipt in front of me), you get an 8 oz bag of the trimmings from the various bars the sell. The ingredient list has NO added sugar, and they actually use both fruits AND vegetables in their fruit leather product, along with some added fiber. Each half cup serving is only 120 calories, 1 g of fat, 29 g of carbohydrates, 12 grams of fiber (!!), and 2 grams of protein. Very good stats, if you ask me.
That being said, they might be a bit of an acquired taste. The are not terribly sweet, and do have a bit of vegetable-y taste. I find them to be delightful, but I cannot eat the whole bag in one sitting (which is a good thing..)
Consensus:I will be snacking on these tasty little tidbits often, and I recommend others do the same!
Disclaimer: I have no relation to Trader Joe's, and have not, in any way, been paid to endorse this product. I don't even know who I would contact to get a sweet deal like that, it's just something awesome and healthy I found at a store.
