My New Favorite Way to Get Protein

This week I am focusing on ways to increase my protein.  Each afternoon (when my children should be napping) I become sluggish and run down.  I usually run straight for the cookie jar in the pantry to get the sugar fix.  Thankfully, I no longer do that for fear of retribution from friends who are keeping me accountable viewing my food journal.

My good friend, Amanda, told me that I had to try Odwalla Chocolate Peanut butter Protein Bars. She knows I love peanut butter and chocolate.  I must admit, I was skeptical at first… but have fallen head over heels for this protein bar!

With a whopping 12 grams of protein and only 200 calories… I can enjoy a tasty mid afternoon CHOCOLATE snack while recharging with nutrients such as folate, calcium, and Vitamins A, C & E!

For full disclosure, I buy my bars with my husbands hard earned money at our local grocer.  My opinions stated above are my own and I will continue to shout from the roof tops for tasty chocolate treats that are healthy and nutritious!
