Love Of Oats

A blog dedicated to balancing a healthy and fun life… with oats!

Too Artificial

Happy Wednesday!  Can you believe we are half-way through the week yet again?  Ahhh, so exciting that the weekend is almost here… definitely right around the corner… I am in a good mood this morning because the sun is shining and it’s supposed to hit 78 degrees today!  I will definitely be fitting in a walk at lunchtime today to soak up some sun…

In an effort to use up these mini Luna Bars, I decided to chop & mix the chocolate nut brownie flavor into my oats/toasted almonds/flax/cinnamon/half-banana combo…  The pic looks yummy, in fact the bar looks kind of like giant raisins, in my perspective haha… But, unfortunately, the taste wasn’t there… so it’s official – I despise them… despite the chocolate melting into my oatmeal (the only good part), I still couldn’t get past the fake flavor :(   However, I’m hoping that since I paired it w/ a hearty bowl of oats that at least the protein from the bar will complement the fiber in the oats and keep me full for longer than normal… we’ll see… I ate breakfast at 6am, so we’ll see how long it takes for me to feel hungry!

Well I am off to a hopefully productive day at work… Hope you have a happy, fast, fun day!

    VeggieGirl ~ That is weird b/c mine is flying, I’m sorry yours is dragging! I am definitely sticking w/ the Larabars, I packed one for tomorrow night’s dessert already!

    Cassie & Betsy ~ This was chocolate nut brownie… I can’t wait to find the mini Cliff bars b/c I only ever eat half at a time now anyway!

    Romina ~ I agree with you 100% :)

    Sagan ~ I know… it definitely messed up my yummy & wholesome breakfast!

    Isn’t it funny how your oatmeal with all of its natural ingredients tastes SO good but then the added processed luna bars just don’t compare? Gotta love the natural ingredients!

    Also, that photo does look very tasty.

    I’ve never been a fan of Luna Bars… personally I think they’re overprocessed an I would rather eat something like a Larabar that is nothing but wholesome ingredients.

    Haha I feel the same way about the Luna Bars – the brownie one just tastes fake! But I am on the hunt to find the mini clif bars – they would be perfect as a pre-workout snack!
