Snack Attacks

I got a lil hungry between lunch and dinner today. I also needed a lil somethin somethin before my INSANITY Fit Test. I had a chocolate Larabar which definitely kept my hunger in track!

Pesto Pasta Lunch...

Why hello again! I feel Monday's are the hardest days to get back on track because your body is use to all the over eating done from the weekend.

This morning I had a very filling breakfast. In between breakfast and lunch I had a Cashew Cookie Larabar. Lunch was shortly after. I had whole wheat pasta with grape tomatoes and homemade pesto sauce. Lunch was definitely delicious, but now, two hours later...I'M HUNGRY!!! I do have another snack, but I'm trying to hold off on that one, as I will probably need a lil somthin somthin before my INSANITY workout!

How was your lunch?

Lunchin Korea Style

Today for lunch I met my friend Tika. We had sort of a late lunch and met at 1:30...thas late for me, I get hungry around 12! So, with the help of a delish Larabar, I toughed to out till 1:30!

After walking around for a few minutes, Tika and I finally decided on a Korea town lunch. I love the little goodies you get in the beginning of your meal. There were some delicious veggies, kimchi and tofu.

I ordered the seafood hot pot with brown rice and Tika ordered the tofu hot pot with brown rice. I ate 3/4 of mine and then was full!

All in all, a tasty, healthy lunch!

Snacks Throughout the Day and a Kashi Bar rant...

I feel liked I snacked much less today than yesterday. This may be due to my very filling yet healthy lunch.

My snacks for the day were:
Larabar
1/4c of almonds/peanuts
Kashi Go Lean Crunchy Chocolate Peanut bar

Surprisingly, the Kashi bar tasted pretty artificial and I usually love Kashi (although it's been a while). When I looked at the ingredients, I saw a long list of things that I didn't understand such as mechanically fractioned palm kernel oil. I did not understand this. Kashi- take a cue from Larabars and keep your ingredients simple!

That is all.

Snack time...

Everyday, between breakfast and lunch I have a mid morning snack. My snack of choice is usually a Lara bar. I've been obsessed with Lara bars for a few months now. Most of their flavors taste awesome and are produced with all natural ingredients.

Lately, I've been munching on the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip bars. The only ingredients in the bar are: Dates, Peanuts, Chocolate Chips. Seriously, so simple and delicious. The dates add a slight sweetness.

Lara bars can be expensive, up to $1.50/bar. however, I am lucky enough to buy them at Shoprite, where they periodically go on sale for .99 cents. This is when I stock up. Seriously, I will by $50.00 worth of bars! My two favorite flavors right now are Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip and Chocolate Coconut Chew.
The great thing about these bars are they are so convenient. Throw them in your bag and you have a great emergency snack.

Now, if you'll excuse me...it's snack time :-)
