<br>Hungry Girl Today: 11.23.09
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Spotted on Shelves...
<br>
<br>Twixels - At 35 calories a pop, we're kind of excited about these little candy-
<br>coated cookie sticks... and also a little afraid of them. (So many! Big opened 
<br>package!) They come in French Vanilla, Creamy Caramel, and Triple 
<br>Chocolate, and each 4-bar serving has 140 calories, 8g fat, 16 - 17g carbs, 
<br>1g fiber, and 1g protein (POINTS&reg; value 3*). Look for these at Target and 
<br>Walmart. Fingers crossed for portion-controlled packs... 
<br>
<br>Sunsweet 60 Calorie Packs - If it's been years since you've tried prunes (or 
<br>you NEVER have), these are the ones to eat. In addition to being good for 
<br>you -- packed with FIBER, low in calories, and loaded with vitamins & 
<br>antioxidants -- these dried plums are really delicious and come in little 60-
<br>calorie servings. Each fat-free snack pack (about 3 prunes) has 16g carbs, 
<br>2g fiber, and 1g protein (POINTS&reg; value 1*). There's also a Cherry Essence 
<br>flavor -- can't wait to try that!
<br>
<br>Honey Nut Chex - Happy days for people who avoid gluten. This crunchy, 
<br>lightly honey-sweetened stuff is now GLUTEN-FREE! A 3/4-cup serving 
<br>(without milk) has 120 calories, 0.5g fat, 28g carbs, 1g fiber, and 2g protein 
<br>(POINTS&reg; value 2*). We're thrilled that more and more yummy gluten-less 
<br>items are popping up on shelves... Thanks, Chex!
<br> 
<br> 
<br> 
<br> 
<br>Holiday Beverages Hit Coffee Shops!
<br>
<br>Tempted by the seasonal drinks your local baristas are pushing? Here's a bit 
<br>of knowledge before you buy...
<br>
<br>Starbucks - BAD NEWS for eggnog lovers! It's the season of nog lattes (you 
<br>either love 'em or hate 'em; there's no in between), but even if you order 
<br>your Grande with nonfat milk, that cup's still slugging EGGNOG and will have 
<br>450 calories and 18g fat! But it's not ALL bad: A Grande Caramel Brulee 
<br>Frappuccino Light Blended Coffee has just 180 calories and 1g fat (POINTS&reg; 
<br>value 3*). 
<br>
<br>The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf - GOOD NEWS for tea drinkers! A 12-oz. Winter 
<br>Dream or Orange Spice Tea Latte with no-sugar-added vanilla powder has 
<br>only 100 calories. SOOOOOO good. Woohoo! 
<br>
<br>Seattle's Best Coffee - NOT-BAD NEWS for latte and mocha fans. If ordered 
<br>with nonfat milk and no whip, a small Gingerbread Latte has 170 calories and 
<br>1g fat (POINTS&reg; value 3*), a small Peppermint Mocha Trio has 210 calories 
<br>and 1g fat (POINTS&reg; value 4*), and a small Sugar & Spice Latte has 220 
<br>cals and 5g fat (POINTS&reg; value 5*). Not great, but as we said, not bad.
<br>
<br>And in case you didn't know, Seattle's Best is a subsidiary of Starbucks, 
<br>which means you'll want to avoid the Eggnog Lattes (and consider the 
<br>nonfat/no whip Gingerbread Lattes) at BOTH places.
<br>  
<br> 
<br> 
<br> 
<br>  
<br>Bitty Bites!
<br>
<br>Let's NOT Go to the Lobby...
<br>More good news/bad news. The good news is that AMC movie theatres in 
<br>California (home of the HG HQ) have started posting calorie counts for their 
<br>snacks and drinks right on the menu boards! The bad news? The numbers 
<br>are kind of frightening. Even a SMALL popcorn WITHOUT added butter has 
<br>434 calories. A simple hot dog? 629 calories. A box of candy? Anywhere 
<br>between 340 and 1,140 calories. ACK! And heaven forbid you should order 
<br>nachos and a large regular soda -- that combo adds up to nearly 2,000 
<br>calories! And you thought Paranormal Activity was scary... &#12288;&#12288; 
<br>
<br>
<br>What's Nu, Sodium-Counters?
<br>For those people who want something in between the strict no-salt lifestyle 
<br>and the world of high-sodium table salt and seasonings, there's NutraSalt 
<br>Low Sodium Sea Salt. To quote the company, it's an "all-natural, rich in 
<br>potassium, healthier Sea Salt delivering the great salt taste without the 
<br>excess sodium." Not too shabby. We think it's a GREAT alternative to regular 
<br>salt and seasonings, with 66% less sodium. Plus, it comes in SO many 
<br>different flavors. Choose from blends like Texas BBQ, Lemon Dill, Spicy 
<br>Cajun, Bold Chipotle, Asian Fusion, and SO many more. You can order the 
<br>salts individually or in special variety packs: Mediterranean Taste, Hometown 
<br>Flavors, and Exotic Zest. Check 'em out! (P.S. We really like the Texas BBQ.)
<br> 
<br> 
<br> 
<br> 
<br>The Buzz...
<br>
<br>RECALL ALERT! Snacks on Racks is recalling 73 varieties of its Gourmet 
<br>Snack Packs, due to potentially undeclared allergens such as milk, soy, nuts, 
<br>and wheat. These snacks are sold at hospitals, colleges, and corporate 
<br>cafeterias, and they come in clear plastic containers with blue Snacks on 
<br>Racks labels. Click here for the full 411. ***Pumpkin update, and it's not 
<br>pretty. According to our pals at Libby's, heavy rains are to blame for poor-
<br>quality pumpkins, so they've decided to stop pumpkin production and 
<br>packing for the rest of the year. Until next fall's harvest, their canned 
<br>pumpkin will be VERY hard to find. Waaaaah! We recommend stocking up 
<br>STAT. ***Tons of fun news for you from California Pizza Kitchen! First of all, 
<br>there's a slew of new menu items, including a honey-wheat 'n whole-grains 
<br>pizza crust option and two soups with 106 - 140 calories a cup (Asparagus 
<br>and Tuscan White Bean Minestrone). Secondly, the pizza co. has pulled 
<br>calorie counts from its CA menus (boo!) but is now offering a nutritional 
<br>brochure with more than just calories (yay!)... AND IT'S ONLINE, TOO! 
<br>Thanks, CPK! Now if you could only find a way to lighten up those pizzas... 
<br>***Get excited, chocoholics! Pinkberry will soon roll out chocolate-flavored 
<br>frozen yogurt. Will it be tart like classic Pinkberry or sweet like regular fro 
<br>yo? Only time will tell. (FYI: If you visit the PB website, be prepared for a 
<br>yogurt-themed pop song to blast from your speakers.) That's all we've got. 
<br>HG out!
