Somewhere on the path through adulthood, we cut down on junk food — and the cheese doodle might have been the first casualty. Why? Why indeed, when Little Bear Organic Foods makes Lite Cheddar Puffs that are baked, rather than fried, and covered with all-natural cheese. A two-cup serving contains 150 calories and only five grams of fat, which is 50 percent less than Cheetos, whose ingredients are considerably more suspect. A word of warning: it’s quite possible to eat the entire bag in one sitting, so it’s a good thing these little puffs are cheap and easy to find.
Available for about $1.99 for a 5.5-ounce package in the organic-food section of your local supermarket.
