Nothing Dodgy Under The Radar

I’ve been making quite a dent in the snax that my brother brought back from London, most of which have gone under the radar. I haven’t been photographing them because they’ve been jumping into my mouth!! A cookie here or a couple chocolate hazelnuts there. You understand, right? Well, today I finally did some documenting, albeit a little late each time…you’ll see why…

For a pre-workout snack, I had 1/2 of this 9 Bar…Pumpkin Bar (I ate the other 1/2 yesterday, under the radar).

I had about twice the size of this nugget  pre-workout (I ate a little too quickly for the camera to catch up with me ).

This bar was seedy, nutty, and crunchy…yet chewy overall. It was chewy like a Larabar but the seeds made it quite crunchy at the same time. So good. I hope my brother brings home more of these next time (wink wink).

P.S. I love how some UK snax have % listed for their ingredients!

I also had some Yogurt Coated Hazelnuts and Milk Chocolate Cinnamon Dusted Hazelnuts.

I’ve been munching on these all week at random times throughout the day, including this morning! These are unbelievably good. Anything covered in yogurt/chocolate is amazing but the addition of hazelnuts takes it to a whole new level.

I think hazelnuts are becoming my new favorite nut!

Workout: 60 min. on the Octane Fitness machine (running elliptical). The moving handlebars on that machine annoy me because they get in the way of my reading material. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I actually miss the elliptical (gasp!). The mini gym only has Octanes and Treadmills, however, and going there vs. the main gym saves me 30-40 min.

Post workout:

Millet bread with Greek yogurt, Galaxy Granola, and Dried Cranberries.

I put the Galaxy Granola in my kitchen cabinet yesterday (rather than in my room) and I haven’t touched it until now! It’s remarkable how simply NOT being in the same room as a snack can reduce mindless eating. It helped that I had AllieBars to munch on instead .

Green smoothie that made me brrrrrr cold:

• 1/2 banana
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 1 scoop Green Superfood
• 1 cup spinach

1/2 orange

I had class and then a meeting immediately afterwards so I packed some…

Snackities:

Mini peppers and an Eat Natural Bar (another London snack):

I ate these bars quite often when I was studying in London–they are so YURRMY!!

‘Nothing Dodgy.’ My flatmates and I would crack up whenever we heard the word ‘dodgy.’ It’s a funny word especially when said in a British accent. I think the equivalent in American English would be ’sketchy’??

See? Nothing ‘dodgy’ in the ingredients….

Of course I took a few bites before I got the camera out . Good snack choices, Bro! Thank you!

I also shipped out 5 packages of heavy AllieBars today.

Dinner was lightning fast!

I made a bowl chock full of protein. 4 egg whites (microwaved) and topped with 1/2 a Amy’s Veggie Burger, avocado, cottage cheese, ketchup and spicy brown mustard. Just from eyeballing it, I think there was ~25g of protein in this bowl. Cha ching!

This may not look super appealing but it was crazy good. It was sort of like a deconstructed omelet, if you will.

1/2 orange

And a mocktail!

I was sipping on this SoBe Lifewater when I got the brilliant idea to add a can of La Croix for some bubbly.

Dessert: An AllieBar (and another half plus a spoonful Sunflower Seed Butter under the radar). I had a couple extra from my monster batch.

I’m racing off to teach now and then I’ve got a 1000 word restaurant review to write for my Culinary Cultures class. I anticipate another snackity later tonight. It’ll be under the radar though!
