Muscle Milk now comes in light, and how wrong can you go with chocolate?  

I found it at Costco...great deal and great flavor.  The one really good thing about Muscle Milk, beside it taste good and it meets the criteria or a good protein choice, the small size you can keep in your purse for those afternoon snack times or for keeping those blood sugar levels on target!

Muscle Milk comes in different size ready to drink or powder options.  

GNC has a new nutritional bar.  They have a fair amount of protein but not a lot of calories, and best of all they don't taste like a protein bar. 

These bars are a great item to carry in your purse or pocket. They come in four flavors.  Peanut Caramel Crisp, Chocolate Soy, Strawberry Peanut Crunch, and Cinnamon Almond Crunch.  I have found they make a great addition to my breakfast with a little almond butter or banana just to top it off ! Packed with fiber and lots of taste!

My favorite flavor , believe it or not is not the chocolate, but the cinnamon. 

So here is the nutritional info:  140 calories, 4 g fat, 17 carbs, 10 sugars, and 10 to 12 proteins. 

Not only do they taste good but they are easy for travel.  I keep a few in my purse for those low blood sugar moments, for a quick bite on a track around "the Loop" or just out and about.
