Hey guys! I did some more playing around in Paint, and I’ve created a little graphic for Meri’s Munch Madness! If you want to post it on your blog I’d be happy to give you a shoutout in return. Spread the love my little foodies!
For those of you new around here, I’m doing a winner-takes-all tournament throughout the month, veggies vs. fruits, with a different competition and vote each day.
Yesterday’s winners are…
Broccoli and Figs!
Tonight’s match was a bit closer (20-8 Broccoli over Cauli, and 15-11 Figs over Dates) but still a pretty clear victory. I’m looking for a nail biter one of these days!
So, without further ado…. tonight’s vote is a veggie match.
Beets
vs.
Onions
So go ahead and vote!
And for tonight’s food frenzy… It’s all about the bar.
Nope, not the place you go to drink and get all stumbly, although that might be a fun post…
Nope, these kind of bars…

| My favorite bars in life… |
So I thought I’d do kind of a “top six list” of my favorite bars. Some I like for a quick snack, some I eat for the protein, and some I pretty much snarf down as dessert (I’m talking to you, Clif Kids bars…)
1. Go Raw (Banana Bread flavor)- These are good and chewy, not too sweet, and have a short short short nutrition label. The only downside is the price, which is steep when they aren’t on sale.
2. Clif Kids Z-bars (favorite flavors are Blueberry, which I’ve only found in Arizona, and s’more. The only flavor I don’t really care for is the Peanut Butter)- These bars are pure dessert. I eat them every night.
3. Kashi Go-Lean Crunch (Chocolate Caramel Flavor)- These are really tasty and have lots of protein. Downside? Sometimes my jaw hurts after I eat them, they really are chewy.
4. Luna (Cinnamon Vanilla Raisin flavor)- These are tasty, have a decent amount of energy in them, and also some vitamins and protein going for them. Downside? Sometimes they don’t feel like anything special.
5. Soyjoy (Strawberry, Blueberry, Berry)- I like these three flavors of what I call the “scone bar.” Tasty, but sort of an overpriced cookie, again.
6. Gnu Flavor and Fiber (Cinnamon Raisin and Banana Walnut)- Again, I’m a sucker for anything raisin or banana flavored. These are reeeaaaally chewy, which I love, and have a lot of fiber, which is good for my genetic digestive construct. ahem. Let’s make fiber cool again people!
Do you guys like bars? Do you eat them for quick energy, as a snack, or as a dessert? Are there ones you don’t like? Am I the only jerk who thinks Larabars are overrated?
And go ahead and vote!!!
