Successful Tour




We had so much fun at Support Group! We met at Smith's Food King for a grocery store tour/scavenger hunt. Here are some of our faorite fabulous finds:



1. Kroeger Carb Master Yogurt - 80 calories, only 4 g carbohydrates and 12 g protein and just 40 cents! We taste tested the vanilla and found it yummy! Beat that!



2. Orowheat Sandwich Thins - 100 calories, 5 g fiber and 5 g protein. These delicious thin buns come in whole wheat and multi-grain varieties. The texture (dense and thin) tends to work well for band patients.



3. Torani Sugar Free Syrups - 0 calories. For more than flavoring coffees, try the hazelnut, the almond, or the raspberry in oatmeal!



4. Ocean Spray White Cran Peach or Cran Pomegranite drink mixes - 5 calories. Lynae recommends using 1 pkt per about 24 oz of water rather than the 17.5 oz per package directions.



5. Sobe Lifewater - Kiwi Strawberry Lemonade flavor in particular. You will have to go to Target to taste this limited time new flavor, then you can log on to face book and vote to keep it!



6. Pouches of tuna or salmon - no draining - ready to eat!



7. Almond Breeze Original - just 40 calories per 8 oz (less than half the calories from skim milk.) Try cooking your oatmeal in Almond Breeze - very tasty! However, remember it is not the protein equivalent (just 1 g protein rather than the 8 g in skim milk.)



8. Ballpark All White Meat Turkey Hot Dogs - just 40 calories and 0 g fat - and taste great besides those impressive stats.



What a fun group! I think everybody went home with some new ideas and inspiration and most of us went home with a grocery bag! Looking forward to next month already - June 24th - Special Guest Speaker!div>
