Got a chocolate craving? I found a solution...


In my quest for healthier options for fulfilling my chocolate cravings, I was overjoyed when I came across this product in the market a few days ago: Soft-Baked Granola Cookies by Bear Naked. I was overjoyed because I am partial to the granola by Bear Naked (particularly the Banana Nut variety) that I use in my fruit, yogurt and granola breakfast parfaits. At first glance on the box, I was disappointed by the serving size of 1 cookie. In my mind, one cookie is just a gateway drug! I was pleasantly surprised to find that the flavor and richness of one cookie was enough to satisfy my chocolate craving! Not to mention yummy with a cup of tea or coffee!

Here's the nutritional breakdown:

Calories: 130
Total Fat: 5g
Dietary Fiber: 2g
Protein: 2g

There are 8 cookies in each box and the price is less than $4 per box (Stop & Shop). A small price to pay for nailing that chocolate craving! Enjoy!
