A Sensible Solution

Okay. So I don’t quite know how to begin this post any other way then…OMG! I found my new favorite snack!!! They are Veggie Straws by World Gourmet. All natural, no trans fat, no cholesterol, no preservatives, and GMO free. They are part of a “Sensible Portions” campaign that creates healthy snacks with realistic serving sizes.

Seriously, I know what you’re thinking. The name alone does it no justice. It’s just so innocent and unsuspecting. And yet that is so you can gorge yourself on the entire bag without anyone ever "tsk-tsking" you. People…if you have ever loved French Fries then you have to try these. Think I’m kidding? I can go back and get a sworn statement from the check-out guy at GFC Marketplace. Because I’ll tell you what; he had me at “they taste just like French Fries!” And they will have you too.

Get this, they were so good that I had to compare them to the real deal. (I know! The things I’ll do for authentic proof.) So we swung thru and used a freebie coupon for a small fry. They were good, I won’t lie. But really, all you’re trading in now is the soggy grease for a delightful crunch. Normally, (as in two weeks ago) I’d snort those hot fries so fast I wouldn’t have any to share. But share I did and I even threw away the bottom few that remained. I simply didn’t care to have any more. For me, that really meant that I could finally cut the fast fry addition.

So it was in going out to find a healthy Super Bowl snack, that I found proof that I could really accomplish this whole life-change dieting thing. Because if your anything like me; then you need daily validation that you can find healthy, satisfying meals. And if Veggie Straws are any indication…I need to buy stock in World Gourmet. Fast. :)
