These nutritionist-approved healthy cracker picks are made with whole grains.
They’re great for everyday or for a party (did someone say cheeseboard?).
Crackers are a classic snack food, dip scooper-upper and pantry staple.
Many of our favorite cheeses just wouldn’t be the same without them.
But when you’re trying to pick out healthy crackers, some boxes leave much to be desired.
Pair it with: Any cheese.
Triscuit Thin Crisps Original
Classic Triscuit taste, but half as thick for the perfect cracker-to-topping ratio.
Pair it with: Hard cheeses, like Cheddar.
A whopping 6 grams!
Pair it with: Tangy cheeses, like goat.
Ryvita Sesame Rye Crispbread
This graham–cracker-size pick is big enough for lunch.
(Open-face sammies, anyone?)
Pair it with: Blue cheese or other funky favorites.
Pair it with: Brie.
But we did find some as low as 11 grams.
(Most cheeses have around 100 calories per ounce, and we recommend keeping apps to 250 calories.)
Add cheese (Cheddar has 185 mg per ounce) and you’re at nearly 20 percent.
We say: go for 180 mg sodium or less.
Read labels for sugar too.
Do you really need a sweet cracker?
