A new love of mine…Quinoa. Definitely a new grain in my life, but since I am trying (read: failing but trying really hard) to eliminate the gluten in my diet…insert Quinoa! And quite perfect, no? A good serving, a cup or so cooked, has quite a bit of fiber as well as protein. Plus it has a satisfying taste and […]

Del Monte Vanilla & Spice Diced Pears
I have a pet peeve when it comes to fruit cups…why, oh WHY must EVERY SINGLE TIME I open one, it has to explode?! In class–> explodes on the table. At home–> explodes on my desk. On the subway–> probably would explode everywhere (let’s not try that one). And then there is a good tablespoon of the juice/syrup wherever the […]

Quest Bar Cinnamon Roll & Coconut Cashew
The LOVELY people over at Quest Bar sent me a free sample box of 11 of their products, the QuestBar. What’s a QUESTBAR you ask? This particular line of protein bars states it is “the only protein bar with a perfect nutritional profile” according to the insert I was sent alongside the bars. Each bar has 20 grams of protein, […]

Chobani Flip Honey Low-Fat Yogurt with Banana
I love when I see new things in the store. It’s like a prize for my taste buds (and often a deficit in my wallet…). SO, buying my weekly stash of CHO, I found the Chobani Flip Honey Low-Fat Yogurt with Banana. SO is this not greek yogurt? GASP! :O It does say “low-fat” on the container, but there is […]

UNREAL 8 Chocolate Caramel Peanut Nougat Bar
A new line of products for me to try, UNREAL has supposedly “Unjunked” candy, and taken out the “bad” stuff like high fructose corn syrup, additives and hydrogenated oils. I got some free samples from the company asking me to try, and I happily obliged. A “healthier” spin on candy? Sure, why not? 🙂 Today’s review is of the UNREAL […]

Gluten Free Apple Cinnamon Chex cereal
I admit…I’ve been in a Special K rut for years. Now I hardly have cereal for breakfast, but every now and then (especially high cardio mornings) I like to have a bowl with some milk for some carbs and protein to keep me going. Well…since I’m trying to refrain from wheat, I skipped the Special K and went for the […]
