Lie: All natural energy bars are the most amazing thing in the world and I could eat one every day and not bat an eye.
Truth: I prefer bars that taste like candy bars.
Yes, I do tolerate and sometimes enjoy bars that taste like grass, but when i comes down to it give me chocolate, give me peanut butter, and for goodness sakes give me some sugar!
Those are the bars that make me swoon.
And the new-to-me Honey Stinger Peanut Butter ‘n Honey bar I tried for the first time this afternoon definitely made me swoon.
I stocked up on fun new bars and goos at Track Shack on Friday and this Honey Stinger Bar made the cut.
It was chocolately, peanut-ty, and tasted like a straight up Snickers bar. A candy bar in the middle of the afternoon? What could be better?
I know. I know. There’s a reason why this bar taste is so delicious.
I believe the 17 grams of sugar is a good place to start.
Le sigh.
Still, it was a nice treat and really did give me a nice boost of energy before hot yoga this evening. I would purchase another one in a heart beat for a special treat, but I wouldn’t eat one every day. I suppose the ‘grass bars’ are more suitable for that. Oh well.
Hot Yoga was a necessity tonight. My IT bands felt extremely tight for some reason today. I could especially feel it going up and down stairs. I need to invest in a good foam roller, but yoga was a great a stretching substitute.
Yoga isn’t just about stretching – yoga is about friends! After tweeting back and forth with Raya for months it was nice to accidentally bump into her at Orlando Power Yoga tonight. It’s a small Orlando after all.
Post-Yoga dinner was what I like to call “Fall in a Bowl”
or a Peanut Butter Pumpkin Smoothie. Which ever name works best for you. 
In the blender:
- Ice
- Pumpkin
- Plain Yogurt
- Almond Milk
- Peanut Flour
- Vanilla Extract
- Honey
- Pumpkin Spice
On top:
- 1/2 an Apple
- Crumbled Pumpkin Scone
- Raisins
Have you noticed I have a sweet tooth? Because I do and I am not ashamed! 
Photo Fun!
Remember that amazing fountain photo Derek and I took before dinner in Ft. Lauderdale the other week?
It’s a great photo, but it needed some work. Luckily, the very talented Macey had e-mailed me and offered to give the photo a quick once over.
The results were amazing! She sent me two options, but I can’t decide which one to blow up.
What do you think? Should I choose….
