Research shows that adding peanut butter to your breakfast can help fight cravings for up to 12 hours, according to a study published in the British Journal of Nutrition. While we can't say for sure if eating peanut butter-flavored snacks has the same effect, we can vouch for the fact that all of these low-cal options taste amazing—so it can't hurt to try them the next time a 3 p.m. vending machine craving hits!

Barnana Peanut Butter Chewy Banana Bites
OK, so this flavor won't be available nationwide until June—but we had to give you a heads-up about this crazy-tasty (and crazy-wholesome) snack anyway. Each bag is made with three partially dehydrated bananas and four tablespoons of peanut butter (oh, and did we mention the snack's organic and has no GMOs, preservatives, or gluten?). The banana bites taste like candy but aren't nearly as bad for you: Each six-piece serving has four grams of protein, two grams of fiber, and a totally reasonable 180 calories.

KIND Healthy Grains Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate Bar
These bars are made from a combination of whole grains, including gluten-free oats, brown rice, millet, buckwheat, amaranth, and quinoa. What's more, each bar has just 150 calories, three grams of fiber, and three grams of protein.

Weight Watchers Peanut Butter Brownie Bliss
So no one's saying these are something you need to add to your diet—but with 90 calories and two grams of fiber per brownie, you could definitely find worse ways to get your sugar fix.
Yasso Peanut Butter Cup Novelty Bars
We're not sure how Yasso got these yummy frozen Greek yogurt bars to clock in at only 130 calories (and six grams of protein!) each without using any artificial sweeteners…but we're definitely not complaining!
Sea Salted Peanut Butter Cookie Chips
This is another one of those snacks that you can't exactly call healthy—but if you know you're going to be craving something sweet and salty in the afternoon, you can indulge in six of these thin and crispy cookies for just 130 calories. As an added bonus, each serving also contains two grams of protein. So worth it!
