These Trio bars I found at Costco a few weeks ago. My husband and I both love them. They are gluten, dairy, preservative and additive free. Each bar promises to hold a variety of 3 types of nuts, 3 types of seeds and 3 fruits. They are also low in sodium which is now a plus for my husband.
The nuts offer a super nice crunch to satisfy those munchy cravings while all of the ingredients work together to be a nutritious snack that holds you without a sugar crash.
I keep a couple in my purse and have used them as an offering to my hungry teenagers when we are out and about. They gobble them up with no complaints.
Don't I sound like a commercial?
I just really like them. And I realized today that we are almost out of our supply so I had better get some more.
This is my lunch for today. I was starting to feel a little bored with my food choices and looked around online for solutions in varying up the show and combination without sacrificing ease. Here is what I did:
- I peeled a cucumber, sliced it down the middle & scooped out the inner seed core.
- In my food processor I tossed in a handful of almonds, 1/4 avocado, 1/4 yellow squash and 5 cherry tomatoes.
- I pulsed it to a consistency I liked and added garlic powder, onion powder and a small amount of shredded cheese.
This particular recipe was called a cucumber sandwich because you could put the two cucumber halves together and wrap them in saran wrap to throw in your lunch bag and eat later. I chose to leave it as a boat just because I thought it was too pretty to cover. I had one boat last night for dinner and was surprisingly full so I saved the rest of it for today and am enjoying it as I type.
I added a couple of websites to the side bar that you might find of helpful interest in the area of raw foods information and recipe ideas.
God bless you!
