<br>ASK HUNGRY GIRL 
<br>
<br>HG, 
<br>
<br>I love bars, but there are SOOO many bars out there now -- do you have 
<br>any favorites? Anything in particular you look for when seeking out a bar to 
<br>chew? 
<br>
<br>Bar-Biter   
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Dear Bar-Biter, 
<br>
<br>I love bars, too. But I only eat them as snacks or as part of a breakfast or 
<br>lunch that includes other things (like yogurt, soup or a salad). I don't go for 
<br>those meal replacement bars as much because I don't like to swap meals 
<br>with bars (that's just me -- I think an actual meal is way more satisfying). 
<br>And meal replacement bars have way more calories than other bars, so I tell 
<br>people to watch out for those (since “snacking” on them can be a big no-no if 
<br>you're counting calories!). When choosing bars, I tend to go for ones that 
<br>have less than 200 calories, are fairly low in fat, and are high in fiber (5g or 
<br>more, if possible). Here's a list of my current favorite bars and what I like 
<br>about them... 
<br>
<br>Fiber One Chewy Bars - Super-delicious and satisfying. A great candy bar 
<br>sub that has 140 - 150 calories and 9g fiber. AWESOME! 
<br>
<br>Gnu Bars - These pack in 12g fiber and taste like chewy cookies. Cinnamon 
<br>Raisin is the best of all of 'em. Soooo good! 
<br>
<br>Dr. Melina Protein Bars - These come in unique flavors and are similar to 
<br>Luna bars. And they're very satisfying since they're packed with protein. 
<br>People are flipping over the Lemon Raspberry ones... 
<br>
<br>Curves Chewy Granola Bars - These are PERFECT as little snacks 'cuz they 
<br>have just 100 calories. Five grams of fiber makes them filling! 
<br>

<br>Dear Hungry Girl, 
<br>
<br>I love to make smoothies at home -- I drink them for breakfast or as a 
<br>snack. I'm getting bored with the same old ones though. I tend to use a lot of 
<br>frozen strawberries and bananas. Have any ideas for a creative and fast 
<br>smoothie? 
<br>
<br>Smoothie-Sipper  
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Dear Smoothie-Sipper, 
<br>
<br>I get soooo many emails about smoothies. Sometimes people send in their 
<br>recipes -- and they sound really delicious but contain things like spoonfuls of 
<br>honey, SO MUCH peanut butter, and entire containers of full-fat yogurt. 
<br>Things like that make calorie counts SKYROCKET. People say, "I can't 
<br>believe how FULL I am afterwards!" and all I can think is, of course you're 
<br>full -- you just drank 550 calories! In any case, while I LOVE smoothies, I 
<br>tend to go for ones that have about 150 calories or less. My current smoothie 
<br>obsession (which was inspired by my pal Katie, who is an HG subscriber and 
<br>awesome recipe developer) is a peachy pumpkin thing that is currently 
<br>unnamed. I think I haven't named it yet because the recipe changes 
<br>depending on my mood -- but it always includes the following: 
<br>
<br>1/2 cup canned pure pumpkin 
<br>4 oz. Diet Snapple Peach Iced Tea
<br>4 oz. Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze 
<br>cinnamon, nutmeg and/or pumpkin pie spice (to taste) 
<br>1/4 tsp. vanilla extract 
<br>Splenda (to taste) 
<br>
<br>The changing ingredient is 1 tbsp. of some sort of vanilla protein powder (Jay 
<br>Robb's Whey Protein rocks!) OR 3 oz. of fat-free vanilla yogurt. And 
<br>sometimes I'll throw in a splash of Torani Sugar Free Syrup in Brown Sugar 
<br>Cinnamon. I just toss all of the ingredients in a blender with lots of crushed 
<br>ice (about a cup and a half of it) and blend it all for about a minute. YUM -- 
<br>this smoothie is so good, I can't stand it! And, the most amazing part is that 
<br>it only has about 100 - 120 calories, depending on exactly what you choose 
<br>to put in it -- and it is SUPER-filling! Try one of these no-name peachy 
<br>pumpkin drinks and you will be HOOKED. I can almost guarantee it!

<br>CHEW ON THIS:
<br>Today, October 24th, is National Bologna Day. We know the stuff is NOT 
<br>exactly healthy, but we can't help loving Oscar Mayer's 98% Fat Free 
<br>version. It's GOOOOD and has just 25 calories a slice.
