I am a huge Greek yogurt fan. No lie. But I like "stuff" in my yogurt. Real fruit, seeds, granola, etc. The yogurt on its own just isn't quite filling enough for me.
So I was intrigued when I saw this new find in the grocery store.
Greek yogurt? Check. Oats? Check. Flax? Check. Pumpkin Seeds? Yes please.
And bonus, no nuts! I, for one am not a fan (love the flavor, cringe at the texture).
The label is pretty good too!
Now, I will warn you. If you expect crunch, forget it. The oats and seeds have been in the yogurt so it's not at all crunchy. However, if you are looking for a filling snack with a chewy texture and full of goodness? This is for you!
I have had the black cherry and blueberry flavors and both are wonderful! I believe there is also vanilla and strawberry as well!
Definitely keep an eye out for it!

Fabulous Find: Quest Protein Bars
There are so many protein bars out there at this point. It's really hard to choose!
Add in that I'm not a fan of nuts (I love peanut butter but not actual peanuts, go figure), and my options in protein bars are severely limited.
Plus, I don't love some of the ingredients I'm finding in these bars.
That changed when I stumbled upon Quest bars in, of all places, 7-11.
What I love most about these bars is that they don't taste "protein-y". They actually taste like a candy bar! And the ingredient list is far better than most I've seen.
I haven't tried all of them, because some do have nuts, but some favorites are mint chocolate chunk (pictured above), S'mores, and cookies and cream.
They run about 170 calories a bar and are super filling. One of my pre-gym favorites!
I've seen them sparingly, in 7-11 and in King's, but they are also available online!

Blog Bites: S'Mores Bars
First of all, apologies for the lack of posts. I recently moved and am getting ready to go on vacation, but I have lots of stuff coming up in mid-August!
Now back to the good stuff.
Who doesn't love a good S'More in the summer time?
These bars from Fabulously Frugal were easy, if a bit messy, to make. I cheated a bit and just used pre-crushed graham cracker crumbs. They were gooey and delicious and probably could be eaten with a fork to avoid getting marshmallow all over you!
