<br>Hungry Girl Today: 7.27.09
<br>
<br>
<br>Spotted on Shelves...
<br>
<br>Kellogg's Special K Chocolatey Pretzel Bar - It's crunchy. It's chocolatey. It's 
<br>PRETZELY! In a crowded sea of snack bars, this new chocolate-bottomed, 
<br>pretzel-infused cereal bar from The K really IS special! Only 90 calories, 2g 
<br>fat, 17g carbs, <1g fiber, and 1g protein (POINTS&reg; value 2*) per bar. YUM! 
<br>
<br>Amy's Teriyaki Wrap - Amy's does it again! This perfectly sauced, just-sweet-
<br>enough, tofu-brown-rice-'n-veggie roll-up is a great mini-meal option for 
<br>ANYONE. Even meat-eaters who THINK they're not tofu fans will love it. Trust 
<br>us and try it! Also, check out these impressive nutritionals: Each 5.5-oz. wrap 
<br>has 290 calories, 7g fat, 48g carbs, 5g fiber, and 9g protein (POINTS&reg; value 
<br>6*). Amy, you've still got it!
<br>
<br>FiberGourmet Lite Cheese Snacks - Well, this is more like "Spotted on the 
<br>Web," but it's definitely worth mentioning. Our pals over at FiberGourmet 
<br>(the high-fiber pasta and mac & cheese people) have whipped up little snack 
<br>crackers that ROCK. These come in single-serving pouches, each with 80 
<br>calories, 2g fat, 22g carbs, 12g fiber, and 5g protein (POINTS&reg; value 1*). 
<br>Both flavors -- Nacho and original Cheese -- taste GREAT, and you get an 
<br>awful lot of mini crackers for 80 calories. Yay!
<br> 
<br> 
<br> 
<br>New Products, Coming Soon...
<br>
<br>Larabar Peanut Butter & Jelly - We got a sneak-chew of this new Larabar 
<br>flavor, and it ROCKS beyond belief. It really tastes like a classic PB & J 
<br>sandwich! With 220 calories, 10g fat, 28g carbs, 4g fiber, and 6g protein 
<br>(POINTS&reg; value 4*), it's a totally unique and delicious bar that's worth 
<br>getting your hands (and teeth!) on. It's scheduled to hit store shelves in 
<br>August, so be on the lookout. 
<br>
<br>Weight Watchers Endorsed Green Giant Just for One Veggies - Get excited, 
<br>people! Brand-new varieties of these single-serving, sauced-up veggies are 
<br>hitting store shelves next month, and every one will soon have the POINTS&reg; 
<br>value right on the package! Look for new Cauliflower & Cheese (40 calories 
<br>and a POINTS&reg; value of 0 per serving) and Peas & Corn in a Basil Butter 
<br>Sauce (80 calories and a POINTS&reg; value of 1 per serving) in freezer aisles 
<br>next month. P.S. The classic Broccoli & Cheese Sauce now has lower stats -- 
<br>only 45 calories and a POINTS&reg; value of 0 per serving! 
<br>
<br>Hansen's Self Beauty Elixir in Tropical Bliss - Despite the somewhat off-
<br>putting marketing spin (pretty potion... really?), this all-natural, low-calorie 
<br>juice drink tastes FANTASTIC. It's infused with loads of vitamins, minerals, 
<br>fruit & botanical extracts, and more good stuff. The other flavors are just 
<br>okay, but the Tropical Bliss gets two MAJOR thumbs up. Each 8-oz. can 
<br>contains just 35 calories and 8g carbs (POINTS&reg; value 1*). Expect to see 
<br>these beauteously packaged beverages on shelves very soon.
<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>Stuff You Didn't Know You Needed (Back by Popular Demand!)
<br>
<br>Animal House Kitchen Gadgets - If you like cute creatures and kitchen 
<br>gadgets, you'll freak when you see these crazy-fun offerings. A monkey 
<br>veggie peeler? A piranha pizza cutter? A parakeet garlic press?!? So cute... 
<br>and reasonably priced, too! 
<br>
<br>Sushi Soap - We love sushi so much that not only do we want to eat it, we 
<br>also want to wash our hands with it! Okay, maybe that's a bit extreme. And 
<br>truthfully, this soap set is so cute you won't want to actually use it. It's a 
<br>perfect gift for sushi lovers of all ages, shapes, and sizes!
<br>
<br>Desktop Hydroponics - Attention cooks, chefs, and kitchen dwellers! As you 
<br>probably know, the best herbs are fresh ones yanked (okay, delicately 
<br>snipped) right from the garden. Don't have your own plant patch? That's 
<br>about to change! Check out this adorable counter-friendly herbfest... 
<br>AWESOME!!! 
<br> 
<br> 
<br> 
<br>The Buzz...
<br>
<br>Fans of frozen cocktails MUST check out the latest from our pal Baja Bob: 
<br>individual on-the-go packets of Sugar Free California Chocolate Coffee 
<br>Mudslide Mix! Toss this no-calorie, Splenda-sweetened stuff in a blender with 
<br>a little water (or Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze!), some vodka, and a 
<br>bunch of ice... then BLEND! Click here to order it (or just read more about 
<br>it). ***SPOILER ALERT: If you haven't seen last Sunday's episode of The 
<br>Next Food Network Star and you don't want to know what happened, skip 
<br>ahead to the next bit of Buzz. Otherwise, get this... As the champion of the 
<br>Wood Grilling Challenge, (our favorite) contestant Jeffrey will have his 
<br>winning dish featured on Red Lobster menus for a limited time. It sounds 
<br>AMAZING and guilt-free: "Grilled, peppercorn-rubbed fresh tilapia over 
<br>shrimp, sea scallops, asparagus, sweet peppers and a spicy soy shellfish 
<br>broth." Yum! We can't wait to try it. Go, Jeffrey, go! ***Did you know that 
<br>regular physical activity isn't just good for the body, but it's also good for the 
<br>brain? It's true. Recent studies show that exercise can boost brain function in 
<br>aging adults. Click here to read more about that. ***Speaking of brains, 
<br>researchers in England have found that we may be able to trick our minds 
<br>into thinking we've taken in extra fuel while exercising. Before a bike 
<br>workout, study participants swished carb-containing drinks in their mouths 
<br>and then spit them out without swallowing. Apparently, the bikers' brains 
<br>sensed they were about to get more fuel (calories) and signaled the muscles 
<br>to work harder. The cyclists showed increased heart rates, yet they reported 
<br>no increase in effort involved. Interesting stuff, but we can't help but think 
<br>that human brains (especially food-savvy ones like ours) would eventually 
<br>figure out they're being fooled. That's all we've got. HG out!
