Two Thumbs Up & A Yuck
Filed under Food by kristen at 7:46 am on Jun 24 2008
Lately, I have been on a breakfast/cereal.nutrition bar kick. I find that they help me stay on track when I am busy. They are easy to grab. There are so many different companies that have multiple kinds of bars that I have a wide range to chose from.
Last week, I bought Kellogg’s Nutri-Grain Fruit & Nut Bar in berry & almond. Super yummy. I found whole chunks of almonds. I thought it had a great taste. Very filling for the points. NI 120/3.5/3 This is going on my rotation. Kellogg’s also has a “cranberry, raisin & peanut” variety in this line. Hmm. Might just have to check that one out too. I found these at Meijer & Walmart.
Second, I found a new bar from Kraft. These bars are part of their LiveActive line of products. I purchased the chocolate raspberry chewy granola bar. These bars have pro-biotic culture & fiber. Very yummy. There is a nice bottom layer of chocolate. I let two friends try this bar this morning & they were impressed too. I purchased mine at Target but also saw them this morning at Meijer. They have two other bars in this line: peanut butter (which I purchased today) and blueberry almond. NI for one of the chocolate raspberry bars: 140/3/4. These are also going on the rotation!
Yuck! I was so disappointed with this product. I had high hopes and they were dashed. I purchased Breakstone’s Live Active (yes from the same line as the Kraft bars that I just mentioned) 2% low-fat cottage cheese with pineapple. I purchased the four individual servings. Yuck! I love pineapple & cottage cheese together. (I have a dessert salad containing those two ingredients that I will be posting in the near future). Anyway, I am jumping around. This cottage cheese was nasty. Kind of dry. Not good at all. I don’t recommend this at all. I ate one of the four containers & threw the rest away. In case you were wondering, NI for one container: 110/1.5/3
