I woke up to some awesome news this morning ~ Can I just say I LOVE the people at Canon?! First off, they give you the option of trading in your old camera for a new one at 40-50% off. But, more important ~ my camera is under warranty which means $0 to fix it!!! I should have it back within 7 business days too. I have to admit I was looking forward to a new camera, but, I LOVED my old one so much, I will be happy to get it back and have it like new.
I LOVE this time of year because of all the fresh fruit that is in season at the farmer’s market. I started off my day with a big bowl of berries & a banana (2.5 pts)
I am also completed addicted lately to this combination ~ TJ’s Whole Wheat Sour Dough topped with Laughing Cow and Pomegranate Blueberry Jelly (that I got at the Farmer’s Market too!) (2.5 pts)
I pondered skipping my mid morning snack but knew I’d need something to power through the new class I was taking called MUSCLE BURN!
Lighter Living recently sent me a sample of their bars to try. I have to admit, I am pretty impressed with their flavor selection:
* Apricot Coconut
* Lemon Poppy Seed
* Chocolate!!!
It was seriously hard to decide which flavor to try first, but, I picked…..Apricot Coconut!!!
Fantastic ingredient list…..
But, honestly what sold me was……ready for this 2 points a bar!!!!
I personally LOVE yogurt frosting on my bars, even though I know SHE would disagree with me 😀
I actually thought I’d eat only half, but, it was SO GOOD that I ate the entire thing. This bar really reminded me of a cashew cookie lara bar with but better because it’s only 2 points versus 5 and has a really nice dried apricot flavor. The nuts add a great crunch too and I can’t say I really noticed the coconut.
Totally decadent, totally dessert like, but, good for you and good for your tummy too(I so feel like Winnie the Pooh saying that LOL)
I LOVED these bars so much, I decided to add them to My Shop! They are definitely worth the price based on this bar alone. I can’t wait to try the other flavors.
The class I took today at lunch was called MUSCLE BURN!, you probably want to avoid it! 😀 Kidding, it was awesome….45 minutes using resistance bands and working 2 or more muscles groups at a time.
I was STARVING by the time I got back to the office so I pretty much have just one picture 😀
1 BBQ Turkey Burger (4 pts)
Salad topped with TJ’s LF Spicy Peanut Dressing (1 pt)
Melons (1 pt)
Mid afternoon my co-worker and I had another Healthy Ice Cream Social!
In the mix:
* Fresh Blueberries (should’ve froze them)
* Strawberries
* Frozen Banana
* 1 TJ’s lf organic banana Yogurt
* Sprinkles!
Then, we thought, you know, we could totally add a fruity sauce to our berry froyo!
MMMM!
I think I had too much fiber today because I was completely feeling it by dinner time. I decided to avoid the salad I had planned and stuck with leftover BBQ chicken (3 pts)
Plus some delicious CARBS! (2 pts)
Dessert!
I have been wanting to try Organic Green & Black’s Chocolate for awhile. It’s probably because I heard Diet Girl talking about it so much in her book :D I picked some up when I was at Target tonight.
Because sometimes you just need MILK not DARK chocolate with toffee 😀
I had 2 squares…something that pretty much doesn’t happen with me and Milk Chocolate…usually, it’s 2 more and 2 more LOL….it’s ok, but, honestly I just LOVE CHOCOLOVE so much more.
I will catch up with all your emails, etc tomorrow. For now, I am off to enjoy a movie with The Husband.
It’s so cool that the week is half over tomorrow :D Night all!
Hi Danica! I don’t know if you remember me but I had a blog before (hummusamongus) and I recently started up again! I still find it so fun that we have the same (unusual) name haha.
That ice cream looks amazing! esp the sprinkles =)
Mmm that bar sounds fantastic!
Wow do all your meals ever look delicious!! Especially the healthy ice cream social! YUM!!
Thanks for reviewing that bar! It totally sounds up my alley – I love the cashew cookie larabars, and I love yogurt coatings!!! I’ll definitely be on the lookout for it. 🙂
I would love to try that bar. I just bought these fruit bars from Target that kind of look similar. I wonder if they taste the same. I am loving them though.
Hope you are having a great week girl.
That bar looks delicious!
I’m so into all the fresh berries this time of year, too. And loving making them into soft-serve!!
That bar looks AWESOME… where can I get some of those around here??? I should find out. And I love LCL&jam. SUCH an awesome combo.
And green&black is by far my favorite brand of chocolate bars, soooo good!
xo

I love fresh berry season too! And the laughing cow + berry spread looks really yummy! The bar looks amazing, I have to try those, the flavors sound very tempting too 🙂 A nice day of June eats! and love the frozen banana ice creams – I’ve been giving them to my son as smoothies w/ frozen berries and amazing grass powder – so tasty!
wow a healthy ice cream social, that’s friggin awesome!!
Those bars do look good, I like to have some snack bars to carry in my purse for emergency eats!
I bought some corn on the cob the other day and it was so good!
sprinkles!!! they’re so cute!
i totally have corn that i need to eat…it’s screaming my name now!
