<br>Hungry Girl Today: 09.08.06 
<br>
<br>GIRLS BITE OUT
<br>
<br>We sipped and chewed some breakfast-y items. Now we're telling all...   
<br> 
<br>
<br>Kashi Vive - Probiotic Digestive Wellness Cereal
<br>(1.25 cups: 170 calories, 2.5g fat, 100mg sodium, 43g carbs, 12g fiber, 10g 
<br>sugars, 4g protein = 3 Points)
<br>
<br>They Say: At Kashi, we believe that good digestive health puts you on the 
<br>path to your best life. And you know there is more to it than eating adequate 
<br>amounts of fiber. That’s why we created Kashi&reg; Vive™ with lots of fiber, 
<br>probiotic bacteria and specially chosen ingredients to help you care for your 
<br>digestive system and enhance your joie de vivre! 
<br>
<br>We Say:  Forget all the digestive mumbo jumbo.  This cereal ROCKS.  Yes, it 
<br>is CRAMMED with an insane amount of fiber (12 grams per serving), and it 
<br>contains those probiotics (friendly bacteria) that promote digestive balance 
<br>and immunity.  And it has ginger (which also helps with digestion) and 
<br>broccoli extract (complete with phytonutrients that help with your liver's 
<br>cleansing ability).  But honestly, the real reason we dig this stuff is because 
<br>of how delicious it tastes! There are like a zillion different tastes and textures 
<br>in every bite -- cinnamon, graham, vanilla, crunchiness, puffiness, 
<br>flakiness...wow!  This is cereal insanity in the best way possible.  It's also 
<br>perfectly sweetened and doesn't taste boring in any way (even your kids 
<br>would eat it!).  Also, the 1 1/4 cup serving size is bigger than most cereal 
<br>servings, so you really get your calories worth.
<br>
<br>Overall Score: 10.  We are officially HOOKED.  And our intestines couldn't be 
<br>happier.
<br>
<br> 
<br>
<br>Lipton Premium Pyramid Tea Bags; Vanilla Caramel Truffle
<br>(1 tea bag: 0 calories, 0g fat, 0mg sodium, 0g carbs, 0g fiber, 0g sugars, 0g 
<br>protein = 0 Points)
<br>
<br>They Say:  A perfectly sweet indulgence.  Delicate vanilla blends beautifully 
<br>with pieces of real caramel and the taste of rich chocolate truffles.
<br>
<br>We Say:  The packaging of this tea is great, we love the name, and the little 
<br>pyramid bags are really cute.  And when we found out that there were little 
<br>pieces of caramel floating around in there, we nearly exploded with 
<br>excitement.  Then we tasted it, and while it's good, it's just not all it's built up 
<br>to be.  It's hard to taste the vanilla flavor over the black tea, and those 
<br>caramel pieces add some flavor but not tons.  We like this tea, but it's 
<br>actually not as good as Lipton's plain old french vanilla.
<br>
<br>Overall Score:  7. It's a solid tea, but it won't change your life.
<br>
<br>   
<br> 
<br>Dannon Activia Yogurt; Prune
<br>(1 4-oz. container: 110 calories, 2g fat, 75mg sodium, 19g carbs, 0g fiber, 
<br>17g sugars, 5g protein = 2 Points)
<br>
<br>They Say:   Activia&reg; is a great-tasting lowfat yogurt from Dannon&reg; that 
<br>contains Bifidus Regularis™, a natural probiotic culture that can help regulate 
<br>your digestive system by helping reduce long intestinal transit time. 
<br>
<br>We Say:  Hmmm..."helping reduce long intestinal transit time."  Why 
<br>sugarcoat it, Dannon?  Tell it like it is.  Even if you don't need help in that 
<br>department, this stuff may be worth checking out.  We singled out the prune 
<br>flavor because we hadn't ever seen prune yogurt before and were almost 
<br>scared to try it, but it tastes AWESOME. You'd never even know it was prune 
<br>flavor; it tastes more like plums or delicious berries.  Granted, we don't 
<br>typically opt for yogurt that helps aid digestion, so we would likely grab a fat-
<br>free lower-calorie yogurt over this one on any given day.  But still, this stuff 
<br>is GOOD!  
<br>
<br>Overall Score: 8. Not bad, and if we needed digestive assistance our score 
<br>would be higher.
<br>
<br> 
<br>
<br>Quaker Instant Oatmeal Crunch; Apples & Cinnamon
<br>(1 packet: 190 calories, 2.5g fat, 170mg sodium, 39g carbs, 4g fiber, 16g 
<br>sugars, 4g protein = 3 Points)
<br>
<br>They Say: Quaker Instant Oatmeal Crunch Apples & Cinnamon is a hot, 
<br>wholesome oatmeal that is filled with the sweet, delicious flavor of apples 
<br>sprinkled with cinnamon and crunchy, toasty clusters that pack a crunchy 
<br>punch!
<br>
<br>We Say:  We've gotta hand it to Quaker; they never run out of ideas when it 
<br>comes to oatmeal.  Quaker Instant Oatmeal Crunch, the latest in their ever-
<br>expanding line of oats, features packets of just-add-water-and-nuke oatmeal 
<br>with separate packets of crunchy clusters to put on top.  A cute idea, for 
<br>sure, especially if you're trying to get your kids to eat oatmeal. For most of 
<br>us, though, it's just added calories and the temptation to eat all the little 
<br>crunch-nugget packets in one sitting.  The apple cinnamon flavor is great (as 
<br>always!), but the crunchies don't stay all that crunchy once they find their 
<br>way into the hot cereal.  Not bad -- but nothing we're going to put into 
<br>regular rotation.
<br>
<br>Overall Score:  7.  We hear there's a "magicolor" version of this stuff, too. 
<br>Rainbow-colored flecks magically appearing in our bowl would have no doubt 
<br>bumped our score up a minimum of one point.
<br>

<br>CHEW ON THIS:
<br>
<br>September 8th is National Date Nut Bread Day.  Take your favorite banana 
<br>walnut loaf out dancing tonight.  But don't eat it!
