Not the good kinda of bars, or maybe they are I dunno. The work fridge situation is a little sketchy. I fear snack thievery and well it's kinda gross. This makes snacks a challenge because a lot of my preferred snacks need some cooling. Apples are my go to, but they need a friend to be a perfect snack. This has lead me into the world of bars. I have gone off and on with bars. Some are too much like candy, some I want 2-3 of, some are just too high in calories but not satisfying if I only eat half, but they are just too easy peasy to keep on you to rule out. Enter the bar wars. Below is what I have been turned on to lately. I love you are all writhing in jealousy at how exciting my life is.
I love these kinds of bars but since ive been concentrating on sugar as I've noticed it exacerbates the urge to binge in me I've noticed how much sugar some of my favourite ones have. The only ones that have a reasonable level are the Atkins ones but then of course they are not exactly whole foods and are full of sweeteners to make them delicious. Call me crazy but sometimes I just want something sweet to eat and the occasional coke zero doesn't cut it all the time. The chia bar sounds good! Nutrition for women, yeah I don't know any man who would look at the and go hmm yeah ill have a go! :-)
ReplyDeleteMmmmmm blueberries - that bar looks so amazing! I went to Wholefoods for the first time ever last weekend to find some healthy non-chocolate snacks. Lots of the super "healthy" brands were really high in calories and not that appetising looking:( And of course the delicious looking ones were waaaaay off the chart.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you can get them in the states (I'll send you some if you can't) but in the UK there's a brand called Nak'd that makes date and nut bars. So scrumptious and only 145 cals per bar:)
