Definitely NOT Cardboard!!!

You know the Fiber One slogan..."Cardboard, no. Delicious, yes." Well, I'm here to tell you that it's true. Even though a lot of high fiber products do taste like cardboard, a lot of advances have been made in the industry and there are more of the better tasting products out there now.

I was already a fan of the Fiber One cereals, so when I saw these muffins in the frozen food section I figured I'd give them a try. I was amazed by the taste. It was as if I went to one of the best bakeries in town and bought a fresh muffin from them. I had the banana/chocolate chip, and it actually tasted sinful. The directions say to microwave the frozen muffin for 20 seconds, but in my microwave it turned out to be 30. Just a minor adjustment, and worth the extra 10 second wait. Great flavor, very filling...and you get 28% of your daily fiber requirement in one serving. This muffin is a triple-threat!

There are several other flavors available, and now that I know how good they are I will be trying some of those as well. I think apple cinnamon is the next choice on my list. If this is how eating healthy tastes...I'm definitely in. Nutritious foods don't have to be bland or boring...you just have to investigate the different brands until you find the ones you like!

Healthy Food Discoveries!

During the past week, I have come across a couple of really great foods that are good for you in several ways. The first is Kashi Go Lean cereal. I've always heard about Kashi but never tried it until now. I love it! With only one gram of fat and 140 calories for a one cup serving, it tastes wonderful and also gives you 10 grams of fiber. What a great way to stay full and give your body what it needs.

The second item is Newman's Own Organic Coffee. My grocery store was out of my usual coffee, but just started carrying Newman's Own. They have partnered with Green Mountain Coffee to make this incredible java. I have the Nell's Breakfast Blend, which is perfect to keep this writer's brain going all day! There are several other varieties to choose from as well, to suit your particular tastes. And on top of that, Newman's Own gives a portion of the money to charity from your purchase...so you are not only helping yourself, but other people around the world.

As I try different products, I will let you know what I think about them. Also, if you know of any great healthy or organic products, please leave a comment so we can all give them a try. Here's to our health!
