Tres de Mayo: Gnu Bar Giveaway

My love for Mexican food goes way before and beyond Cinco de Mayo.  In (early) honor, I felt it necessary to whip up a twisted take on Mexican food, two days before Cinco de Mayo.

I?m calling it a Naked Veggie Burrito Bowl (thanks, Qdoba for the Naked name).

In the mix:

Put it in a bowl and add a dollop of plain greek yogurt.  Mix.  Naked (no tortilla) Veggie Burrito Bowl.  I may have had two bowls.  Caliente!

Followed by?this gem of a find.  5.8oz cups = 150 cals (2 WW points).  I think I have died. 

Other flavors include: Caramel Cone, Cookies N Cream, Strawberry Cheesecake, Dulce de Leche

So that was my fabulous 15 minute creation on this fine Monday.  My day started with a 3.5 mile treadmill run followed by abs.  Wasn?t feeling the gym this morning. 

New try.  Kashi Heart to Heart Honey Toasted Oat Cereal. I like!  Not quite Honey Nut Cheerios, but doable?www.Kashi.com 

I like that Kashi is incorporating more vitamins and minerals into their products, finally!

Banana, strawberries, blueberries, cinnamon, skim milk + cereal

Is it just me or does cereal not keep you full?  3 hours later I needed more fiber.  (I just realized I ate a mass quantity of fiber today: black beans, cereal, Gnu bar)I think the Peanut Butter flavor is my favorite so far.  I have 3 more flavors to try. 

Speaking of Gnu bars.  Check out what Gnu Foods sent me!    

   I actually ordered a sampler pack, which comes with 2 of each flavor (total 14 bars) and then Gnu Foods offered to send me some to try and review!  Thanks Robyn!! 

Gnu Bars are my new favorite snack ? I think I say this every time I try a new kind.  But seriously, 140 calories and 12g of fiber and they even have a fab taste and texture!!  What?s better than that?

?Clean?

For me, Gnu bars are the perfect mid-morning snack.  In honor of the abundance of Gnu bars I now have, I am going to give away a sample pack of 7 ? one of each flavor!

Do you do anything special for Cinco de Mayo?  Detroit locals celebrate the ?holiday? more than the Mexican people do!  Maybe because we have a populated ?Mexicantown? neighborhood, or we just like excuses to eat and drink!?
