There was not a lot of excitement in dining the past week – I was fighting a cold over the weekend and my taste buds were out of whack, plus Adam has been out of town at a surgical conference the past week and I am unable to adult without an audience. All that is to say I mostly ate take-out and crackers the past seven days. I didn’t bother taking photos of my “meals,” but I did have several snacks worth sharing!
Snack themes include: cheese / coffee / chocolate + nut butter / yogurt bowls.
This Suju Uber Greens juice was the closest I got to a vegetable over the weekend.
I received a verrrry exciting box of samples {these products were provided to me free of charge / no other compensation was provided / all opinions are my own} this week – Just the Cheese, aka 100% Wisconsin cheese baked into bars and mini bites. They are gluten-free and trans-fat free and damn delicious. Paired with an apple or some nuts they feel like a solid mini meal, the bars especially are quite satisfying.
I believe I have tried every crispy cheese product on the market at this point and I can confidently say Just the Cheese is the best. Per the company – “While most “cheese crisps” are air-dried, Just the Cheese® is oven baked, caramelizing the cheese which results in a cheesier flavor and crunchier texture.” <– it’s true!
Aged Cheddar (my favorite flavor so far!), Grilled Cheese, and a honeycrisp apple.
Wisconsin Cheddar and a side of Webster.
Coffee combo for the week – Lavazza espresso and chocolate milk.
This cold brew coffee drink from Koia was a caffeine failure; why is it so god-awful sweet?!
Another loser was this almond butter chocolate bar, we are obsessed with Epic’s jerky bars in this house but this was too sticky for my tastes.
Meanwhile, I am still obsessed with these dark chocolate almond Perfect Bars. They taste like straight-up cookie dough.
And I’m newly obsessed with these pb cups from Theo. They are palm oil free and they are shaped like hearts!
