Once More

by eatingbirdfood on October 6, 2008

Trader Joe’s did it – created a cereal that is more addicting than Oat N Wheat Bran Swirls. These babies are very tasty and if you have an addictive personality my advice to you would be to refrain from buying them.

 

They taste like mini Pepperidge Farm Chocolate Pirouette’s. It’s delicious, but I probably shouldn’t eat something with 20 grams of sugar per serving for breakfast. So I had oatmeal with TJ’s Nuts about antioxidant trail mix.

 

For lunch we had a birthday at work to celebrate. The birthday girl choose a restaurant called “Mexico” which just so happened to serve mexican. I order veggie fajitas and had 2. They were good. Also for once in my life I didn’t eat any of the free chips and salsa. 

For dinner I had left over pizza and a pear.  I took a bite of it cold before deciding to bake it again hence the missing bites.

I must have worked up a serious appetite during spinning because about 15 minutes later I had some mixed cereal (puffed corn, the last of the fiber 1, and a few whole grain chocolate bites.) I also had a few of the cereal bites dry before deciding to make the 2 bowls of cereal. I told you all it was addicting.

Oooh, that cereal looks like it would be addictive. Good thing there is no Trader Joe’s here in Canada!

You’re so cute with the addictive personality comment. :)
Did you add lots of cinnamon to your oatmeal? It looks kinda dark and spicy.
Your pizza made me hungry.

That cereal looks amazing and addicting. I sure wish I had a TJs near me!

Ah, the pizza looks even better today! As a cereal addict I will take your advice and not buy it when TJs opens this month.

Wow, that cereal and me would not mesh. Actually, we would TOTALLY mesh, which is the problem!

Interesting that the restaurant called “Mexico” served Mexican food ;) Who knew?

Haha, I totally do that with pizza, too – I take a bite out of it cold and then decide that I should just heat it up!

I love cold pizza.

And I definitely have experienced a “delayed appetite” from spin classes, at first my hunger is non-existant, and then it hits! Glad you got some good snacks in :)

CHOCOLATE FILLED cereal?! Seeing that makes me glad I have no access to Trader Joes. I’d probably end up eating the entire box in a few days. Without even realizing it.

I actually didn’t like that cereal but I ate it with hemp milk. Did you eat it straight out of the box, I was told it was really addictive that way.

WOW, that cereal looks amazingly addicting. I’m keeping it in mind for my next Trader Joe’s run!

Christie I- I ate it out of the box the first time and then I mad ea bowl of cereal (fiber 1 and puffed corn and put like 6 chocolate cereal bites in the bowl as well. It is addicting out of the box.

Allison- Good minds think alike. I totally contemplated doing that this morning.

I think that cereal is probably the single greatest invention of the 21 century.

No exaggeration.

I loved this cereal , so why did they discontinue it? I know it sold , because it would always be sold out before the next order would come in.
