    Healthy Cheez-it's recipe. These Cheez-It's are a totally guilt free, low calorie, and low carb, version of the originals. The Diet Chef #Healthysnacks #weightwatchers

    When I was a kid my favorite cracker was easily, easily, EASILY...the Cheez-It. So you can imagine my excitement when I was able to recreate them (and I mean perfectly recreate them) with half the calories, but with more fiber & protein than the originals. If you're a Cheez-It lover like me, this is a MUST MAKE recipe.

    Pros:

    They taste just like Cheez-It's

    Cons:

    You'll have a hard time not eating all of them

    If you make this Cheez-It recipe, don't forget to snap a pic and tag it #thedietchef
