Snack time!
Okay so it's no secret, I LOVE food! Who doesn't? I am definitely the epitome of "Hungry Girl" and love those daily emails I get - thanks to Jess!
So I thought I would share some of my favorite waistline-friendly snacks!
Fiberful fruit bars from Trader Joe's. They taste like candy but have only 60 calories, 6 grams of fiber, and zero fat. I'm addicted to these things!
Mini Babybel Light cheese. Only 50 calories, 6 grams of protein, and 20% of the day's recommended calcium. These are delicious and I keep them in the fridge at work so I always have snacks on hand. The spreadable versions are also amazing!
Anything Vitalicious! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
All natural dark chocolate peanut butter is heaven. And it's a good source of healthy fats and protein, as long as I don't eat the entire jar in one sitting!
What are some of your favorite snacks?

Ok, soooooo helpful!!! I need to head to TJ to get the fiberful bars.....are they filling? DO you feel less hungry if you munch one one? I am also intrigued by babybel, but am afraid I would eat like.....8 of them. Haha. I do string cheese though, so I should try babybel. AND.....holy canoli, batman, I need some of that pb and chocolate.....how delicious would it be with jelly?? A PBJ&C!!

Jamie, have you seen the "bits and pieces" of fiberful bars?!! They're hard to find, but if your TJs ever has them, buy them! They're just what they sound like - the bits and pieces of the actual bars that didn't make it as bars. Personally, I think they taste better than an actual bar.

Oh Jess I love Laughing Cow too! I pretty much love anything with cheese : )
June 11, 2010 at 3:20 PMAbby, the Fiberful bars are filling for what they are (only 60 calories) but they also totally satisfy my sweet tooth! I will mail you some so you can try them if you don't have any at your TJ's!
Oh and how did I forgot, I've never seen the "bits and pieces" Jess but now I'm totally intrigued!!! I must ask next time I make a trip there. I always love how everyone at TJ's is so helpful. It's definitely one of my favorite stores if not my favorite!
