GORAW!


Occasionally when I leave the gym I want something sweet to snack on. There are a number of very temping options in the area but I do my best to steer myself in the direction of the health food store instead. Integral Yoga Natural Foods carries a variety of bars from GORAW. To me these bars are truly a guilt-free snack and I find them to be completely satisfying. This is a winning combination that is hard to come by.
My personal favorite is banana "bread" flax. The flax gives it a nice nutty flavor. I love banana bread and this is not so bad considering it has no sugar, no flour and no oil. In fact its ingredients are 100% organic and consist of sprouted flax seeds, banana, coconut and date. I want to try the "granola" bar too now since I just read that it has become their most popular bar.

Snackimals

Here's another one I am living for lately. Not to dis on your childhood but these are a million times better than those crappy tasting one that came in the cage box with the the string handle.
THANKS LISA!!!! Will you pay for my gastric bypass after I eat one to many of these?

Cookies and sort of milk


I love eating babies cookies. For a long time I ate the Nabisco ones that come in the blue box. These are my new faves. They are organic, wheat free, dairy free, soy free and made with whole grains. I like to dip/soak them in Almond milk. So simple yet so good.

Easy whole-wheat chips


Easy whole-wheat chips
Serves 6

1 package of Garden Of Eatin' whole-wheat tortillas (6 tortillas)
2 teaspoons olive oil
Fine sea salt

Brush each tortilla (both sides) with about 1/3 teaspoon of olive oil. Sprinkle each side with a little salt. Cut into 1/4’s and then 1/4’s again making 16 chips per tortilla. Bake at 350 till gently browned, should be somewhere between 3-5 mins depending on your oven.

You can also make these with cinnamon and sugar, honey and sesame seeds, or whatever else your pretty little heads can think of. If you have a gluten or wheat allergy you can make these with brown rice tortillas instead, Food For Life makes them. Both the whole wheat and brown rice tortillas can be found frozen section at your friendly healthy food store.

I view the olive oil as being fairly negligible since each tortilla has about 1/3 of a teaspoon therefore it's not reflected in the below nutritional information.
