Eating my first fiber 1 bar

Just thought I'd share the news with the class.  I feel behiend the curve, they seem like they're all the rage. It's pretty tasty.

Way to keep up with the class, Terp. Yes I'm glad I'm not the only one who needs a snack at 10 a.m.

Look! They let me drive the tractor!

I would just like to say....stick to one a day....if that! I can only eat one before my stomach starts doing flip flops while DH can somehow eat like 4 and be fine.  Go easy...especially when you start haha

Ah, sure enough it's got HFCS. I don't pay terribly close attention to that kind of stuff, although I am trying to avoid it in breads. Not that it probably  makes a difference. You wouldn't happen to know whether the Kashi bars have it or not? Or I could just check the box myself the next time I go to the store :)

Well, I usually have high fiber english muffins that say 30% of my daily value, and the bar said 35% of my daily value, so I don't think I should have any problems. But I could see how more could cause problems!

Oh, yay! They have a black cherry & chocolate kind that I really like.  And you're right, it's ridiculous how many things HFCS is in, I'm sure I'm not even aware of half of it.

I heart fiber 1 bars! They are tasty. My mom also introduced me to another treat that has worked its way into my breakfast rotation: Vita Muffins. The name sounds awful, but they are really good! They are muffin tops that you can toast in the toaster, and they are only 100 calories with 5g of fiber each.

Plus, it is fun to say I ate a muffin top for breakfast! lol

I think if I ate muffin tops I'd be thinking "Top of the Muffin TO YOU!" all day long. Where do you find these Vita Muffins in the grocery store?

Ohh I love Vita Tops!!  You can find them in the Freezer section at the grocery store.  I think they are near the breakfast foods.  The chocolate ones rock!!

I totally wouldn't have thought to check there. Do you take them out the night b/f to defrost or do you stick them in the microwave for a bit? That sounds like it'd be a good grab-n-go breakfast. Better than the dry Cheerios I brought with me this morning. I seriously felt like an infant b/c I kept dropping them so I ended up with the scattered all around my chair.

You can just pop them in the microwave for about 15 seconds and you're good to go.  I don't know how much you normally eat for breakfast, but they are only 100 calories and I need more than that.  I usually put a little bit of peanut butter on it for a little added protein.

hmm...I bought them in the freezer section so I just put the pack in the freezer.  I just assumed that's where they needed to be.  Maybe not...

Lol, me too alm. I was going to post again after your suggestion, but I didn't want to be the one to push my post about fiber 1 into star status. I think it's just because I PW within my own posts :)
