Winning Friends with Salad

This is my 100th post! Woohoo!  Thank you to all my lovely readers and commenters.  As I told a reader who emailed me recently, this blog as been such a blessing in my life.  Thank you all for being a part of it! :D  Sorry, I’m a cheeseball!

Today is New Product Day, apparently!  After my new cereal discovery this morning (love) I wanted to try more new stuff for lunch.  I ran some errands this afternoon (bank, post office, etc) and found myself outside of the Organic Market!  You know what that means!

After perusing the isles for a while, I decided to try an Amy’s Burrito.  I’ve always wanted to give them a whirl, but was nervous about a whole frozen/microwave thing - I thought they would taste fake.  I tried the Black Bean and Veggies Burrito:

Which turned out like this:

This was sooo tasty and filling!  Great nutritional and ingredients lists too!  Definitely a huge success.  Along with I had some nonfat cottage cheese and street raspberries.  They had blueberries, but these raspberries were speaking to me.

Don’t those raspberries look INCREDIBLE??? Too beautiful to pass up!

All together:

Lunch was 464 calories, 61g carbs, 10g fat, and 35g protein.

While I was at the Organic Market, I picked up a little treat for myself!  It’s kind of humid today, and only going to get more hot (summer in the city, you know).  So I grabbed a box of the Coconut bars to have in the office as an occasional afternoon treat for myself.

I was skeptical and almost didn’t get them, but then I thought, ‘come on, why not, granny?’  OH.MY.GOODNESS.  These things are heaven on a stick.  Literally.  They are soooooooo good.  The best coconut flavor and a really good nutritional.  I never used to care much about coconut, but in the past 4 months I have just gone coconut CRAZY.  After I let my stomach settle, I had a bar:

If you look closely in the picture, you can see that about 75% of the bar is actually made up of real shredded coconut.  So delicious.  Such a find!  Snack was 90 calories, 16g carbs, 4g fat, and 0g protein.

This afternoon the plan is to pick up my first CSA bounty!  :)  I’ll be sure to snap a photo for you guys.  Then hit the gym.  I think I’m alone for dinner tonight - hopefully I’ll be inspired my new fruits and veggies to make a delicious dinner!
