My first day back at work went well. Despite not wanting to wake up 
Here is what I ended up nibbling on for breakfast. 2 servings of Trader Joe’s high fiber cereal with 1/2 a banana and almond milk.
Mid morning, about an hour before lunch time I ate a few bites of this little bar.
INGREDIENTS:
Organic Peanuts, Organic Dates, Organic Rice Crisps (Organic Brown Rice Flour, Organic Honey, Organic Raisin Juice Concentrate, Sea Salt), Organic Honey, Sea Salt.
The Verdict: I was pleasantly surprised when I found that my Trader Joe’s carries the Peanut Butter and Chocolate chip flavored JamFrakas. I know some folks haven’t been impressed with the JamFraka bars, but I have to admit that I liked this one. Although, it may have something to do with the fact that Peanut Butter is one of my favorite foods. I should probably try some of the other flavors before deciding that I love JamFrakas. I did like the little crisps within the bar though. And the nutritionals and ingredients aren’t too bad either. The ingredient list is a tad longer than the traditional larabar, but overall nothing scary. Lastly, the bar seemed a little small at first, but when thinking about the size of normal Larabars and that fact that is only 120 calories- I think the size is pretty good. I guess I am a kid at heart because I love all the bars for kids!
When lunch rolled around I had a salad, very similar to the one I had yesterday. I used the last of my TJ’s Goddess dressing and I’m sad. This was the first time buying it and I think I am in LOVE! Gotta get back to Joe’s soon.
Dinner was boring – just leftovers from the spaghetti I had last night. But this morning was not so boring because I had a delicious bowl of oats with banana, walnuts and raisins. It has been a long while since I’ve had raisins atop my oats and I’ve been missing those little boogers. YUM!
What is your all time favorite oatmeal topping?

Coconut is totally my favourite oatmeal topping – snow topped oats!
Hooray for work going well and for liking the bar!!
**My all-time favorite oatmeal topping (more like “mix-ins”) = nut-butter/seed-butter and banana. Never fails me
Besides something to make it sweet (like agave or brown sugar), I can’t eat oatmeal with out pecans or preferably, walnuts. I like crunch!
I don’t really have a favorite topping, but my favorite mixins are yogurt and banana
I love cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and raisins in my oatmeal! Your oats look delicious!
Carob chips and almonds are my favorite toppings!
Don’t even bother with the other flavors of Jamfrackas! They’re not worth it, PB is the only good one for reals
I don’t eat oatmeal often – I know, the horror!! When I do it’s usually something boring like a ‘naner or kashi cereal.
I can’t have oatmeal without banana! I often do the mix you had today–banana, walnuts, raisins. Looks good!
mm nice eats. 120 calories in that bar? not bad!

Mmm! Your oatmeal does look yummy. Have you tried gingerly? It’s no goddess but I like it.
Hmm. Probably brown sugar, which I haven’t had in years.
wow! that salad looks sooo good!
That is definitely my favorite JamFrakas bar. And as for my fave oatmeal topping…I’d have to say peanut butter! Surprise!
peanut butter, nuts, and Z BARS! a must try! I also love cottage cheese/fage in my oats. i have yet to try protein powder, we have vanilla flavour in my cabinet so i shall try that soon. i like how u eat raw tofu-i’ve done that before and alot of people found it strange but it tastes good if you have other sources of intense flavor (almond butter/salad dressing). You go girl!
