Food Trap Alert! BelVita Biscuit NEW Flavors, Subway Veggie Patty, Ore Ida Sweet Potato Fries

\"foodtrapsubway

belVita Breakfast Biscuit (New Flavors!): belVita will not back down. First they delivered the goodness with their Gold Oat biscuit. And now? They’re hitting us hard with two new awesome flavors: Chocolate and Cinnamon Brown Sugar. (Holla!). I’m partial to the Chocolate, because it served me well in the midst of the need want for a little bit of chocolatey pleasure. I was able to get a great tasting, low cal chocolate fix, then keep it movin’ without spoiling my sensible eating plan. Yet the Cinnamon Brown Sugar caused a mighty disruption of greediness in my home.

Husband tasted the belVita Cinnamon Brown Sugar, then snatched the box away from the kids. Then he tried to hide the box for himself. The gremlin child-spawns fought back with uncivilized protests: Furniture was broken, drinks were spilled, biscuits got crumbled. Just like a bar fight. (did I really see this happen?) It was anarchy, my dear friends. All because of the tastiness of belVita.

Their biscuits are made with whole grain as the primary ingredient and contain zero hydrogenated oils, no artificial flavors or sweeteners, and also contain no High Fructose Corny-ness. belVita provided me with the samples that ultimately led to the uprising of turmoil in my home.

Subway Veggie Patty Sammich: This an ode to the Veggie Patty for its tasty sensibility. It’s not a new item at Subway, but some of you may not have considered it yet.

Do not resist the patty. It’s hearty, stomach-pleasing and downright delicious. Way more delicious than those pricey hand-marinated roadkill sammiches you’ve probably tried. Veggie patty is much more delicious than that. I can’t find the ingredients on their website, but according to Livestrong, the patty contains a host of veggie ingredients that include water chestnuts, mushrooms, green peppers, black olives, carrots, and onions, plus brown rice, rolled oats and egg.

\"subway Yep. I used hearty Italian bread instead of wheat. What’s it to ya?

Go on and stalk Subway’s nutrition info. It lists a 6-inch Veggie Patty as having 23g of protein (yay!) yet 890mg of sodium (boo!). If you opt to build your patty using 9-grain wheat bread, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, green peppers and cucumbers, you’ll only be chewing on a grand total of 390 calories. With low-cal splendor such as this, you could quite possibly unleash your greedy side as you gnash your teeth into a Subway chocolate chip cookie for dessert (220 calories). Those things are pretty damn tasty, but you didn’t hear that from me.

Ore Ida Sweet Potato Fries: Due to the euphoria caused by the Ore Ira Sweet ‘Tater Fries, I did in fact allow myself to be filmed while doing MC Hammer’s “You Can’t Tough This” dance. Yet that film footage was destroyed by a talent scout whom I shall not be hearing from again. The fries are flavorful, crispy, and bake so nicely. In a nutshell, other Sweet Potato products I’ve tried can’t touch how good the Ore Ida’s are. I’ll spare you a bunch of additional rhetoric. Just go on and try the fries for yourself.

Put It In Your Food Trap! BelVita Breakfast Biscuits, Chobani Apple Cinnamon and Tropical Shakeology

 Directions: Open up your food trap wide and start shoveling these foods inside….

BelVita Breakfast Biscuits: Perhaps I’ve broken the golden rule of health snobbery by loving a biscuit in a box? But momma want a biscuit. And this one is delicious.

I give Nabisco props for making a breakfast-cookie-snack-thingy that has NO high fructose corny-ness, NO hydrogenated oils and NO artificial flavors or sweeteners. The main ingredients are rolled oats and rye while flaunting 19 grams of whole grain. It’s light ‘n flaky with a delicate crunch and fabulous texture from the grains. Chewing on 4 biscuits has less sugar than a standard bowl of cereal, and the taste is very much a cross between a bowl of oatmeal and an oatmeal cookie.

Serving size: 4 biscuits, Cal. 230, Fat Cal. 80, Total Fat 8g, Sat. Fat 0.5, Sodium 220mg, Carbs 35mg, Fiber 3g, Sugars 11g, Protein 4g

Chobani Apple Cinnamon Greek Yogurt: This one has officially de-throned my beloved Peach as my favorite Chobani flavor. Apple Cinnamon Chobani tastes just like apple pie with its apple chunks and visible flecks of cinnamon. But let me tell ya something: If you grab your own cinnamon spice and go heavy-handed by adding even more, your taste buds will be belly flipping with extra happiness. Did you know cinnamon has anti-microbial benefits AND helps control blood sugar? Yep, check out all the cinnamon facts, baby.

My next move is to bake up some fresh, warm apple chunks and pour Chobani Apple Cinnamon over top for one helluva healthy nighttime snack. Ahhh. That’s gonna be really glaawsome (glamorous + awesome).

Serving size: 1 container, Cal. 140, Fat Cal. 0, Sat. Fat 0g, Sodium 80mg, Carbs 20g, Fiber 1g, Sugars 19g, Protein 14g

Tropical Shakeology: After a very long wait, Tropical flavor just launched today, meeting the demands of vegans, vegetarians and all other forms of greedy humans interested in gulping down its tropical nutrition.

I’m impatiently waiting for my first order to arrive (because patience is highly overdone), but here’s Beachbody’s description in the meantime:

“Just take one sip, and its sweet, luscious strawberry flavor along with notes of tropical fruits such as pineapple, banana, and papaya will whisk you away to paradise. You’ll quickly discover that the delicate flavor is easy to customize with your favorite fruits. For instance, it combines deliciously with bananas, blueberries, and coconut water. Wouldn’t that flavor combination be a great way to start your day?”

You can read a ton’s more about Shakeology on my Beachbody site: www.Shakeology.com/YumYucky.

Happy food-trapping everybody! It’s just the proper thing to do.
