No, I didn’t learn a new language… but it’s almost What I ate Wednesday! If you are new to WIAW, (which since it is crazy popular I bet you are not!) head on over to Jenn’s blog to find out what it’s all about!
Or in this case…
today is almost WHAT I SNACKED ON AND GAVE AWAY WEDNESDAY!
In order to celebrate my love of two things: snacking, and blog friends, I have a special treat for you! First, I must rave rave rave about how much I like a good snack. I don’t like the feeling of a big heavy meal (at least not more than once a day), so I’m a firm believer in healthy snacks all day long. Or in today’s case, snacks of dubious nutrition:
cukes, cheddar sour cream baked ruffles with Drew’s medium salsa, and lime jello…
Three quarters of a bag of m&ms (it’s not junk food if you don’t finish it, right?), Good Earth Tea, and…
What is that last item, you may ask? Why, it’s a new item I bought at the store today, a banana peanut butter chocolate Monkey Bar. It was chewy and delicious and good for digestion, apparently!
I love bars, it’s no secret. They are a lazy snack you can always have with you in case other food options don’t easily present themselves. Girls on the go gotta have a good bar! And since I like you guys SO much… I’m giving some away!
That’s right! To my loyal and lovely blog friends, I offer an up and at ’em energy pack! It includes:
-Honey Stinger energy bar (Berry Banana Buzz flavor)
-Honey Stinger Organic Energy Chews (Cherry Blossom Flavor)
-Cool Mint Chocolate Clif Bar (contains caffeine woo hoo!)
-Peanut Toffee Buzz Clif Bar (also with caffeine, hence the buzz)
-Monkey Bar (banana peanut chocolate flavor)
The winner of this one is going to be raring to go! I’m so excited about this one because I know not everyone always has access to all kinds of bars, or wants to try them out at their sometimes high prices! So to say thank you to my blog friends, and welcome to new readers, I’m giving them away!

YUM Meri! This all looks great. I am a firm believer in grazing too. My favorite thing to snack on is most definitely cereal. Rice chex or rice krispies!! So good. My husband calls me a cereal monster, haha. AND I will be in the U.S. so I can actually enter this giveaway 🙂 You are a sweetheart for hosting!
yum- I love cereal too, but I go through it way to fast because I eat it from the box 🙂 Good luck in the giveaway! They’d be good plane snacks for Finland!
What a great giveaway!
I follow you girl. Most of these bars look great. Though the banana ones and I will have to fight… You know how we are…
well, the monkey bar one tastes pretty much only like chocolate, if that helps 🙂
And I now follow you on twitter! How’d that take so long?
I joined very recently- its just hard to find people on there for me!
I’m on a very strict diet, so I don’t want any of those bars. But i DID “like” you on that google connect thing. i like your writing.
Why thank you! I like your writing as well!
Darn I cant win those 🙂
You left M&Ms in the bag??? You’re my hero
They did make it into a dessert pancake later… it was only a matter of time 🙂
yum 🙂 I’m now on a hunt for Money Bars!

I think they possibly might be made for kids, but they are nutritious and reasonably priced, so who cares?
I would snack all day on cookies, if I could! Or graham crackers. Or string beans.
Thanks for the giveaway! 🙂
Cookies and veggies- just like me 🙂 they are the best snacks, right?
I can’t enter. Not in the US. But it’s all good. I like the giveaway idea.
P.S. I can’t believe that all this time I’ve never twitter-stalked you. Will rectify forthwith.
stalking returned… glad to find you on twitter too!
Newly following.
And… most of the time I don’t have snacks. I prefer “mini-meals” or things that are cooked.
Plain cucumber? Bleh. Asian cucumber salad? Yum! Steamed zucchini? Boring! Zucchini and mushrooms with pasta sauce and parmesan cheese? Yes please!
I also haaaaaaaaaateeeee bars. I’d so much rather have a meal. But my husband loooooveesss them. So I’d gift these to him and he’d be eternally grateful. 🙂
Welcome to the blog 🙂 I like zucchini pretty much any which way!
yeah, snacking is my favorite past time.
and I am trying to stop it!
boo.
what makes the monkey bar good for your digestion??
sounds YUMMY though.
Have a great great WIAW.
I had a home sun baked oat scoke and greek yogurt with yerba Mate tea!
I feel about as crunchy granola as it gets right now!
oxoxox
Um, I think it has probiotics in it. I”m not questioning anything since they taste so good haha!
Wowww you ate so well! All that actually looks good and usually healthy things don’t lol. And seeing that jello. . yumm. it reminds of how long it’s been since i’ve had jello myself.
I’ve been addicted to jell-o after a long time not eating it, and unable to stop eating it!
i love to snack on any type of nuts, cherry tomatoes, and watermelon 🙂
Those all sound very very good! I’ve been craving watermelon so much lately!
Oh, i want to enter. I follow on Google friend Connect and will tweet about this immediately.
Good luck to you! 🙂
I love WIAW, Jenn’s blog is awesome!
