Fantastic Food Find Friday

The Food Find: Kashi Fruit & Grain Bars

The Facts: If you’re looking for something sweet or an on the go snack packed with fiber, protein and healthy, whole grain carbs, look no further than the Kashi Fruit & Grain Bars. There are a ton of flavors ranging from Dark Chocolate Coconut to Pumpkin Pie or Trail Mix. Each variety has at least 4 grams of fiber, ranges from 120-140 calories and contains at least 4 grams of protein. PLUS, you think that your eating something like desert without the consequences of a calorie laden piece of chocolate fudge cake.

Spice it up! There’s really nothing you can do to make these chewy or crunchy bars better. However, I would like to recommend my favorite flavor: Dark Chocolate Coconut. It doesn’t taste coconut-y if you’re concerned, but it has a thick layer of fudgy goodness on top of it that makes the 120 calorie bar a sweet treat!

Until next Friday...

Health-a-licious Breakfast

Okay...obviously from the photo of my tasty breakfast this morning, I am not going to be the next Food Network Star based on my severe lack of food presentation. BUT it was so delicious, I wanted to share the super easy, super fast, super healthy meal that I call Cool and Spicy Breakfast. With 180 calories, 21 carbohydrates, 19 grams of protein, 4 grams of fat, 4 grams of fiber this breakfast is a total winner!
