GUF. Worked hard all morning to only accomplish one thing when I’d set a goal for 4 🙁 These test questions we have to write for Nutrition Communication are taking me FOR-EVA 👿 I’m still not finished with this week’s set! I don’t like starting tasks and not finishing so I pushed to the last minute and then had to rush through lunch and be on my way to class.
I also had to leave for class earlier than usual to meet Victoria so we could carpool. I threw together this salad for lunch and had to stuff it in to leave on time
Baby spinach, zucchini, carrot, gorgonzola, Daisy Cottage Cheese, walnuts, 3-Pepper melba toast "croutons" and some Annie’s Wookstock dressing. Water bottle water was also consumed, but ruined the photograph so I took it back out.
Sweet Matt packed me some cantaloupe that I didn’t have time to eat to take with me to class. I got a sudden burst of hunger in the middle of Metabolism (my body going hint hint!) and I ate it and saved the bar for my ride home.
Amelia brought me two of Nicole’s Nutty Goodness bars that are homemade in Charleston.
100% raw + simple ingredients
And TOTAL BLISS!!! These are really 3 fruit leather type pieces (dehydrated!) and I cannot believe there was no butter or brown sugar involved – it tasted like coffee cake!
I loved that there were multiple pieces = eating was more fun
I see she makes a pumpkin spice flavor as well! You can buy them online at NuttyGoodness.net.

I’m hoping to finish my questions and another small thing before dinner. And then maybe stay up late again to get something else knocked off.

Cynthia (It All Changes) says
I’m super excited about that stirrer. That’s why I don’t like to buy natural in a jar. This may be my life saver 🙂
Sorry about the rushed no fun feeling. At least lunch looks good and you got a fun snack 🙂

LOVING the ingredients in that Nicole’s Nutty Goodness bar!! I can actually eat them, haha 😀
Food Maniac says
Is there any way to order those snack bars online? They look so delicious, but I have trouble finding completely raw snacks that really taste good around here.
Christie @ Quit Your Diet says
Thanks for the link to those bars, they look gluten free according to the ingredient so I will be ordering some of those right away!!
Daria (Summer of the CSAs) says
I’m having one of those days too – long to-do list with not much checked off by the afternoon = annoyed Daria!
But those bars look amazing. 🙂
Lizzy says

Good luck on getting more accomplished this afternoon and evening. I’m like you in that I hate to have things go unfinished!
Those bars sure do look delicious. And I love the ingredients… totally healthy and a perfect snack!
Sara says
Lots of great textures going on in that salad. And, wow, those bars are paper-thin. Interesting!
Erika says
Those bars look delicious! What a yummy snack 🙂
Caroline says
I love it when food tastes like it should contain something but it doesn’t especially when it helps save calories and enhance the nutritional profile! Great find!
Susan says
What a great idea for a bar! I always cut mine into pieces so it takes longer to eat 🙂
Julia says
Sorry you had to work today…kind of a bummer!
Those bars look really delish! They’re so thin!
Have a great night!
Kath says

Jenna says
those bars look so cool, and yummy!
Adriane says
Those bars look sooo good! I am obsessed with fruit leather, so those might be right down my ally.
Dee says
Those Nutty Goodness Bars look so good. I wonder if they can safely ship to Canada. I’ll have to email the site and find out. I love pumpkin, so the Pumpkin Spice would be right up my alley.
lynn (The Actors Diet) says
those bars do look like a lotta fun to eat….
Amelia says
Glad you liked the bars! They are fun to eat. 🙂
Jessica says
I love those bars, but they are so pricey! 🙁 I think I bought 5 for $15 a month or so ago at the Charleston Farmer’s Market from Nicole herself. I like that she described them as tasting like ‘chewy banana nut bread.’ $3/bar isn’t so bad…but places like Teavana sell them for $4/bar! Anyway, just wanted to drop by and say HI. Love your blog and your honesty and how you aren’t afraid to talk about your weight, etc..it’s very inspiring and your meals always look delish!
