Crispy Green Crispy Bananas 100% Freeze-Dried Bananas-- If you like the
idea of banana chips but not all the fat and cals they carry, check out
these freeze-dried treats. All bananas. No oil. SO GOOD! A
single-serving bag has just 55 cals, 0g fat, 13g carbs, 2g fiber and 1g protein (POINTS® value 1*). Crush em and sprinkle on yogurt or low-fat ice cream or eat them straight from the bag.
Kellogg's Cinnabon Snack Bars -
Each bar has 150 cals, 4-4.5g fat, 26 - 27g carbs, <1g fiber and 1g
protein (POINTS® value 3*) and they come in Original and Caramel. Have you tried them?
New Popchips Flavors - The popped potato chips are now available in both Sour Cream & Onion and Cheddar. A serving of either flavor (about 20 chips) has 120 cals, 4g fat, 20g
carbs, 1g fiber and 2g protein
(POINTS® value 3*) and there are 100 cal bags with a POINTS® value of 2* each. Yes I've tried them. And YES they're awesome!
Does an apple a day keep hunger away? In recent yrs research has shown that it just might. One study tested this theory by giving participants either apple juice, applesauce, peeled apples or nothing at all 15 mins before eating a meal. Turns out the apple-eaters (the ones who ate the actual peeled fruit) took in an average of 187 fewer cals during their meal. Interesting.
Fiber alert! Kellogg is planning to pump fiber into a bunch of its
cereals. When all is said and done 80% of Kellogg cereals will have at
least 2.5 grams of fiber per serving. The fun starts in Aug with
fiber-infused Froot Loops and Apple Jacks.
Jamba Juice is rolling out a slew of salads, sandwiches, wraps and
flatbreads and they sound GREAT. The new menu items arrive this week in select Ca locations and they'll go national within the next yr.I'm most excited about the flatbreads which I heard are protein packed with 350 cals or less per serving. Can't wait to try 'em!
