~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The thing I am trying to do is find products similar in taste and quality to Jenny Craig products because I would like to stop doing the Jenny Craig program. Well, I want to continue it but I want more variety in my diet and eating only Jenny foods is not bringing me closer to that goal. The thing I really liked about the Anytime Bars is that they are high in all sorts of vitamins and minerals. 

I give plasma regularly and I liked this quick snack directly following my donation to help get my iron back up. But, it's okay there are other products out there to get that back up. Prunes, Spinach, etc. And anyway, whole foods are always a better idea than these processed foods.

But for a snack, I like the idea of the think Thin bites. They also have lemon flavored ones, I saw on their website. I need to try those... seems like a nice snack to sneak into the movies 😉

I also recommend the think Thin bites because you can buy them at your local grocery store or on their website and you don't have to buy into an expensive diet plan to do so!
