<br>Hungry Girl Today: 4.6.09
<br>
<br>Spotted on Shelves...
<br>
<br>Luna Cookie Whole Grain Snacks - These new treats from Luna are chewy 
<br>and delicious. In Berry Pomegranate and Chocolate Mint (two delicious 
<br>flavors, not one scary one), each dense, soft-baked snack has 130 - 140 
<br>calories, 2.5g fat, 26 - 27g carbs, 4g fiber, and 3g protein (POINTS&reg; value 
<br>2*). There's also a Peanut Butter Chocolate flavor, but that has slightly 
<br>higher stats (150 calories, 6g fat, and a POINTS&reg; value of 3*). BTW, these 
<br>cookies are square, not round like most cookies. Tr&egrave;s chic!
<br>
<br>Sunkist Light Smoothies - In two varieties, Blackberry Blueberry and 
<br>Pomegranate Cherry, these fat-free fruity sippers aren't bad! An 8-oz. 
<br>serving has 80 calories, 19 - 20g carbs, 0 - 2g fiber, and <1 - 1g protein 
<br>(POINTS&reg; value 1 - 2*), and each bottle has about two servings. With no 
<br>added sugar, no preservatives, and 40% fewer calories than regular 
<br>smoothies, these things are a nice on-the-go swap for over-caloried fruity 
<br>beverages. BTW, for a super-sized creamy concoction, try blending half a 
<br>bottle with some Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze and frozen fruit, plus 
<br>tons of crushed ice. Mmmm...
<br>
<br>Honey Kix - Emails have been pouring in about this new spin on the classic 
<br>corn-puff kid cereal. You get 1 1/4 cups for 120 calories, 1g fat, 28g carbs, 
<br>3g fiber, and 2g protein (POINTS&reg; value 2*). IMPRESSIVE. Even with 3/4 
<br>cup of skim milk, light soymilk, or Almond Breeze, your b-fast bowl will clock 
<br>in with less than 200 calories. Yee-haa!  
<br> 
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Tasty Twins = Money Savers!
<br>
<br>Put on your detective cap and grab a magnifying glass. Cash-saving clones 
<br>are EVERYWHERE, people. Food companies are manufacturing and packaging 
<br>HG faves under other names. "Private labeling" (as it's known in the 
<br>industry) is extremely popular. For example, we're pretty sure Trader 
<br>Joe's "Light in Sodium" Organic Tomato Bisque is actually our BFF Amy's 
<br>Organic Light in Sodium Chunky Tomato Bisque. Same taste. Same 
<br>ingredients. Almost identical stats. (We know it's YOU!) And TJ's "Popped 
<br>Potato Chips" are none other than our beloved Popchips. In addition to these 
<br>delicious doubles, you can also find a SLEW of economy-friendly copycats -- 
<br>like on-the-go drink mix packets, high-fiber chewy bars, 100-calorie packs, 
<br>and more -- on the shelves of Target, Walmart, Safeway, etc., under private 
<br>labels like Market Pantry and Eating Right. Just open your eyes and read 
<br>labels VEERRRYYY carefully -- compare nutritional info and specific 
<br>ingredients (and pay attention to the order ingredients are listed in). Who's 
<br>looking out for you? WE ARE!!!!   
<br>
<br>

<br>The Buzz...
<br>
<br>More nut news. Just when we were feeling okay about the peanut butter 
<br>scare, a pistachio problem arises. Last week, about 1 million pounds of 
<br>processed pistachios were recalled. And now dozens of specific products 
<br>have been recalled as well. For now, our good friend (and current nut crush) 
<br>Stach of Everybody's Nuts! has NOT been affected. For the latest pistachio 
<br>recall news, click here now. ***Holy Jetsons! This brand-new futuristic 
<br>vending machine digitally displays nutrition information, ingredients, video 
<br>content, and more on a touchscreen. When will it be out, in 2022!?! Nope! 
<br>Manufacturers plan to test-market it later this year. COOL! ***Guess what? 
<br>HealthyDiningFinder.com, everyone's favorite website that sniffs out better-
<br>for-you choices at restaurants all over the U.S., has recently re-launched and 
<br>is bigger and more info-packed than EVER. Click here to check it out! 
<br>***Love Cream of Wheat cereal and looking for ways to work more grains 
<br>into your life? Check out the brand-new Cream of Wheat Healthy Grain 
<br>Instant Hot Cereal, in Original and Maple Brown Sugar. Each serving of this 
<br>stuff is low-fat, sugar-free, and packed with whole grains, fiber, and protein. 
<br>Look for it at Walmart and Publix, and expect to see it popping up on more 
<br>store shelves over the next few months. Well, that's all we've got. HG out!
