OMG--they've actually done it, they've actually come up with a healthy snack that's low in calories AND tastes good!! My coworker, who, like me, is a serial snacker, alerted me to the news of a brand new snack option in the vending machines. "This new dried fruit snack called Bare Fruit, the whole bag only has like 30 calories! Isn't that amazing??" she cried. "And it tastes so good! I can eat like 4 of these and still have consumed less calories than eating Sun Chips!"
It really was a joyous event, since, while snacking, I always tell myself, "Now, now, just eat a quarter of this box of cereal," and really, I end up eating a quarter, then a half, and then, what do you know, the whole box is gone! And then I feel so guilty and stupid, like, "why did I just eat the whole thing!!", and then give up altogether and go, "since I messed up today, might as well go all the way!", and the whole day becomes an out of control day of eating everything in sight.
But with the organic, bake dried Bare Fruit, I won't feel bad at all--one medium sized bag of the Cinnamon Apple chips had ~180 calories!! It would take me three of them to feel the guilt! I really really love the Cinnamon Apple Chips and the Granny Apple Chips, and to a lesser extent, the Mango and Pineapple...not a huge fan of the Cherries, Banana and Pears. I've been trying to find them at other stores in NYC, but so far have only located them in my office vending machine and, of all places, Gristedes on 89th and Lexington. I wonder if Whole Foods or Trader Joe's carries them? Must find out and stock up!! (All the people at work have discovered this low calorie treasure, it's always gone by the end of the day--grab it before your boss does!!)
