Hey guys,
Lucy asked in the comments, but I wanted to let you all know: I may not be able to post frequently during my vacay in California. I’m not sure of the Internet access, and I’m not sure who we’ll be eating with, so I may not be able to take pictures of everything. I’ll try to update as much as I can!
I wanted to try this new Lara bar in Peanut Butter Cookie that everyone is freaking over, so I went to Whole Foods for lunch. Unfortunately, they didn’t have it. But I did get another Lara bar for tonight’s Product of Week segment. Giving it one more try before I write off Lara bars forever!
I hit up the salad bar for lunch. I tried a new tact with the salad bar this time. I always end up getting huge salads and not being able to finish them, so this time I downsized to a smaller box, but packed it to the gills. In my salad, I picked a whole bunch of wheatberry, cous cous, and quinoa salads on a bed of spinach. I also got carrots, tomatoes, broccoli, and summer squash:
Sorry, you can only see the veggies on top!
Since I took care of veggies and grains, I was in need of some protein. I tried a new type of yogurt today: skyr.is:
I saw it on the shelf next to Fage and Chobani, so I thought it was similarly priced, but it may have been $2.79 - I’m not entirely sure. If so, that’s alot of freakin money for a yogurt cup! It was good though - 22g of protein! It was definitely more sour than Fage though - I had to add extra honey to get a good flavor.
Some exciting news: my company is getting rid of plastic disposable water bottles and buying everyone a Sigg! Part of our ‘green’ initiative. I get to choose my own design! What do you guys think?
You know what I love more than the Whole Foods salad bar? Nothing.
What part of California are you visiting? Any special reason for the visit? Is it for your anniversary or b-day?
Let me know if you need any restaurant recommendations while in CA- I seem to remember that you are going to be in Orange County. I lived there every summer while going to college in San Diego and can recommend some great spots (not necessarily healthy ones though…).
I love that in NY there are celebrity sightings everywhere. Last time I was there, I ran into so many. My friend Emily who lives there was like, “what the heck is going on? I never see celebrities here.” It kind of turned into a “punch-bug” celebrity sightings game. Fun!
Don’t leave us again!
Actually, take me with you please!!
Or don’t, because your one year anniversary IS coming up….and you ARE going to meet the parents…hmmmm….could this be a very special weekend in the works???
Sorry couldn’t help but speculate!!
That is some serious protein. I am going to look for it!
That’s awesome that your company is getting you siggs! I have one and it’s all dented, but I still love it. Did you design the silver one? It’s cute!

Oh never mind you get to pick a design, not create a design. Sorry.
I have the same problem with salad bars- It ends up costing me a lot of money and i can never eat it all. I just can’t help myself around all those veggies and grains tho!!!
That is awesome your company is going to buy everyone sigg’s! I want to design my own but the factory is shut down due to too high a demand(mysigg.com). So i am debating about ordering one of the already made and still super fabulous ones or waiting until they are up and running with the design your own ones again…. In the meantime, I do have a couple of rubbermaid reusable waterbottles i use everyday.
NO PB COOKIE LARABARS?!?!?!?!??!??!?! **faints as a result of reading about this tragic occurrence**
I tried the PB Larabar last week and loved it! I actually picked it up when I was in Mass. a few weeks ago. The stores near me have really limited selection (usually Cherry, Lemon, Apple, Cinnamon and one other one). I did go to Whole Foods in Toronto on Saturday and got a few different ones - Banana Cookie and Cashew Cookie. I’m excited to try them!
