So, the real reason why I had to eat lunch super early this morning was all due to my snack selection mid-morning…

The new mini Luna Bar:

I just found these in Target last night and had to give them a try… One is 80 calories and 4 grams of protein, so I decided to give them a try today… I always seem to do that, once I buy something, I want to try it right away!

Anyway, onto the “review: I had the “Nuts Over Chocolate” flavor… On satiety, since it has 1g of fiber, I was semi-skeptical of whether it would hold me over until lunch or not… Well, I ate this at about 9:30 and by 11, I was starving to the point of being weak… I almost feel as if eating this made me MORE hungry, if that makes any sense… On taste, it was ok, the chocolate bottom was yummy but I wasn’t a fan of the “nuts” portion (semi-rice krispy taste)… I still prefer the taste of Cliff Bars & Z Bars better… Something about Luna bars just taste artificial to me… I know 70% of their ingredients are organic, but it just doesnt taste that way to me.  All in all, I was unfortunately not impressed with these bite-size Luna bars, simply because it didn’t fill me, but with 80 calories, what was I thinking

Next time I will have to treat them as a “dessert” item or pair them with a piece of fruit… I might give it a try as a pre-workout snack on Saturday am… we’ll see!
