Kashi Go Lean Crunch Cereal
This cereal is “lean” not because of the calories per cup (200), but because it’s high in protein (9g) and fiber (8g). It’s filling, and it’s yummy. I like the honey almond flax flavor best, but the regular flavor is a close runner-up.
It’s crunchy, and it stays crunchy long enough that I don’t […]

Popcorn is tricky. The kind that tastes good has too much oil to be diet food, and the air-popped kind has that “singed air” flavor. Even more importantly, the air-popped kind won’t hold on to the salt: I’ve had to resort to LICKING air-popped kernels, then dipping them into the salt that has […]
