Saturday and Sunday were MUCH better! (haha... I just typed "butter"). Our grocery funds were very limited, but I bought some fruit, yogurt, pudding (I HAVE to have something sweet to eat at the end of lunch... thank you Jell-o sugar free dark chocolate!!!), and a new kind of snack bar.
I'm a big fan of Larabars. Mainly because each bar has 4-5 ingredients. It feels good to put something in my mouth and know that I'm not ingesting anything that I can't pronounce. But I pay a price for that feeling of satisfaction! A price that this weekend I couldn't quite afford. So I went to the boxed section of the bars in the organic section of Kroger and came across Cascadian Farms Dark Chocolate Almond Chew.
They have 130 calories (which is 90 less than some of the Larabars that I buy), 4 grams of fat and 5 grams of fiber. My main concern was the fact that it had the words "fiber right" on the box. I love Fiber One bars, but they make me sick. Well, not so much sick as gassy. Sorry. Those are the facts! Something about too much fiber in the wrong form at one time... so I was worried that I would take these to work and experience extreme discomfort. But I am happy to say that I have been VERY pleased with these bars! They aren't huge so it's not necessarily filling on it's own but granola always makes me thirsty, so eating one of these and drinking half of my bottle of water IS filling and totally keeps me going til lunch.
Unfortunately, today I didn't have any veggies to bring with my lunch so I am pretty hungry now, but dinner is planned and should be more than satisfying!
I have more to say, but I'm out of time. Be back lata!
