Snacktime!


I usually need a snack around 3 p.m. I try to pair some protein with carbs so my blood sugar stays steady and I feel satisfied. I'm guessing my snacks usually range in the 200-250 calorie range. 

Today I had some leftover green smoothie from breakfast and a small homemade granola bar. 

I made the granola bars yesterday using the recipe from Barefoot Contessa: Homemade Granola Bar Recipe from Ina Garten. The only substitutions I made were: used the brown sugar SplendaBlend, used Earth Balance fake butter and subbed chocolate chips for the chopped dates.

These were really good. They made a lot but I froze most of them.

Are there any other snackers out there? I just can't NOT eat from lunch until dinner!?!

Your granola bar looks great. I love the changes that you made to the original recipe.
