Tienes Hambre? How about this beauty!










Title of Product: Mission Multi-grain Wraps

Description: Tortilla wrap

Why do you like it?
I am always looking for ways to insert more fiber and whole grain into my meals. These are great because the are big and not to grainy or have a lot of seeds. I don't like a lot of crunchy or bumpy stuff in my smooth food--it is a texture thing! These taste good and add more nutrition to your burrito meals.

Where did you buy it? Publix

About how much was it? $3?

Finally something Sweet that is good for you!










Title of Product: Sweet Potato

Description: Sweet Potato

Why do you like it?
Well to start, anything that starts with "sweet" should be good. I never liked these when I was a kid--even with marshmellows melted on top! Now I love to eat them as baked fries. After washing it off I slice it up in long slivers or long tiny rectangles cubes. I brush them with extra virgin olive oil, place them on a baking sheet, then sprinkle them with garlic salt and any other seasoning you like. Bake until they are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They make a great side dish to any meat meal. Sweet potatoes are super-healthy for you and qualify as a vegetable, which I can always eat more of on a daily basis. It is a complex carbohydrate, and rich in beta carotene, and have more fiber than oatmeal.

Sprinkle a little Omega-3 in everything!



















Title of Product: Bob's Red Mill Whole Ground Flaxseed Meal

Description: Ground flaxseed

Why do you like it?
Dr. Oz recommended this little gem. This is a bag of flaxseed flakes that you sprinkle in just about anything. It is loaded with omega-3 and fiber and can be added to lots of things without affecting the flavor. It says it has a mild nutty flavor but I can't taste it at all. I have used it in baking, milkshakes, fruit smoothies, on top of applesauce and cereal, and in my PBJ sandwich.

Yummy Granola Bars!















Title of Product:
Quaker - Simple Harvest Granola Bars

Description: Mulit-grain Granola Bars

Why do you like it?
I needed a snack to keep at work that was nutritious and didn't have nuts and wasn't too hard to chew (I have currently braces). These are the cinnamon-brown sugar variety and they are tasty. They are full of oatmeal, wheat, barley, apples, cranberries, cinnamon, and brown sugar. All natural ingredients and they are soft and chewy. These taste great without all the junk!

Love Bread - Hate things in my bread!















Title of Product:
Nature's Own Organic - Honey Wheat

Description: Loaf of bread

Why do you like it?
I have switched to whole grain bread in an attempt to eat healthier. One thing I keep finding is that most whole grain breads have things in them. I am a wonder-bread girl. The smoother and softer the better! This one is great. All the benefits of whole grain bread and natural ingredients along with a smooth texture. Bring on the PBJ's!
