Perfect Bars

Hi all, 

Wanted to share a little tidbit from my nutritional session today. I mentioned to her that I had given up my daily Quest Bar due to the high carbs (yes, I know lots of fiber) and the fact that since they are highly processed I don't really feel sated after eating one. (Never have either - even during my first year post op.) She asked if I had ever tried a Perfect Bar. I said no. She told me where I could find them (Whole Foods refrigerated section). I stopped in to get some carrot salad I like and some PB and decided to check out the bars. 

I found them to be absolutely over the top in calories - over 300 for some - and quite high in carbs. However, they had mini bars in peanut butter and almond butter. The stats are not horrible on the minis: 100 calories, 6 grams fat, 8 grams carbs, 5 protein. Since I had been bedeviled by the treats all day at school, I decided to buy a single mini. 

LOVED IT! Totally did the trick. Very small, extremely calorie dense, but if you are a peanut butter person.... MMMM, MMMM! I found this to be just the right thing after a day of being barraged by sugary carb crap food at school. Another little piece of ammo in my artillery against the bulge! 

Here's a link to the site, should you be curious.  Perfect Bar

Jealous that you have those kind of stores to shop at. We have no Whole Foods or Trader Joe's in the area and just got a Costco a few months ago! We do have one large grocery chain that has a big organic/health foods section - perhaps they will carry the bars. I've found very few bars that I like.

Interesting!  Love that you can buy a single mini for those bedeviled moments.  I'll at least find their location in Whole Foods so I am prepared!
