Energy Bar and Frozen Yogurt Craving

This week I had a crazy craving for energy bars and frozen yogurt. When I mean craving, I mean that is ALL I wanted to eat. Random, right?

Choco-walla!

I initially had a craving for Odwalla's Chocowalla Bar.

Looks like a chocolate cookie---only it's good for you!

The bar has the texture of a double chocolate cookie, since you can taste the semi-sweet chunks of chocolate, but it is so healthy for you! (There are so may vitamins and minerals listed on the back of those bars!!)

Banana Nut!

But that wasn't enough for lunch, so I had to have the Banana Nut Bar.

Banana Bread molded in rectangular easy-to-eat perfection!

It had a similar texture to the Chocowalla Bar, but tasted like banana bread (maybe even better than the old-fashioned recipe that calls for butter and eggs!)

Clif Bar Cranberry Apple Cherry

For "dinner", I had the insistent craving for a Clif bar, so I decided to try a flavor that I hadn't tried before, which was Clif's Cranberry Apple Cherry. It is lighter in calories and fat, since it is a fruit-based flavor rather than chocolate or peanut butter (even though those are good as well!)

My trail mix mosaic :)

After opening the wrapper, the gorgeous pieces of fruit stood out like shiny pieces of a trail mix mosaic. Yeah, my attempt at an analogy, but the bar tasted like a scrumptious trail mix cookie that would fuel me for my late afternoon classes.

I also had a frozen yogurt craving over the weekend that needed to be sated. I was able to drop by Tuttimelon and help myself to some self-serve fro-yo.

The perfect cup?

My concoction was: original tart yogurt, strawberries, MOCHI PIECES (my absolute FAVORITE FRO YO TOPPING!), and a piece of lychee, just for taste. The original tart flavor was a perfect compromise since the strawberries and chewy mochi pieces added sweetness. The lychee was pretty random, since it kind of brought it's own flavor to the mix. Overall, the result was satisfying since my craving was extinguished (at least for a couple hours :) )
