Hungry Anyone?

Why do I have a feeling that many of my posts will be about food? Alas, here are a few of my favorite guilt-free (ok, reduced-guilt) treats!

1.



I've been all about Trader Joe's this summer--that place totally rocks. I've loved nearly everything I've tried from them. Really good stuff! (I don't think they have one in Denver, Laur--sorry! I'll have to bring over some muffins when you come out for Christmas!)


Their muffins are a great breakfast treat! I recommend:

Trader Joe's Blueberry Wheat Bran Muffins 80 cal/0.5 g fat/5 g fiber/4 g protein
High Protein Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins 100 cal/9 g protein

And these are too die for!



2.


These ice cream sandwiches come in lots of delicious flavors, but I like the sugar-free vanilla sandwiches. These are decadent at only 140 calories/2 g fat/4 g fiber. I haven't liked the other Skinny Cow products as well.

3.


Made with yogurt instead of oil, these yummy brownies are 120 calories for a 2x2 in. brownie. My favorite is Mint (or the regular with a couple drops of peppermint extract added).

yum, yum, yum. It all looks sooo good. No, we don't have Trader Joe's but i have had Skinny Cows. Deanne will have you buy some of the stuff for the eating plan at Trader Joe's. Next time you are there, pick up some Better N Peanut butter. You'll need it and will go thru a lot of it. I am not sure Ryan will like it :o) I love this post

I'm so mental about anything that is lowfat or no fat. I prefer fat.

Good for you guys though!!!

LOVE Trader Joes but I rarely make it there! They also have amazing honey whole wheat pizza dough that comes in a big ball. You just roll, top and bake. Yum! Fun food ideas Miriam!

Ok, the pizza dough sounds good!! It's so hard to make that extra trip though since it's like 15 min away.
