Ford and I came across some items made by SunRype, a company from Canada, that sells their products in Safeway stores here in the US - look in the produce department for them. Ask if you don't see them - they were well hidden. One of their items is a line called FruitSource 100% Fruit Bars. They are quite worth the pricey cost of $1.29 each. I tried the Blueberry Pomegranate flavor and will be picking up the Strawberry and the Raspberry-Veggie flavors. The bars are soft, pliable and do not require real chewing (my braces were happy) and as well were not sticky. So basically all the good parts of dried fruit without feeling like you are chewing rawhide.....The bars are pleasantly sweet without a sugar rush. The Blueberry taste came right through - it felt like eating berries.All 3 are an excellent source of potassium as well as a kick of fiber. They contain nothing extra added - just the fruit.I will be trying more of their items that they make - our local Safeway carries the whole line. Ford will be reporting back on the Squiggles Fruit Twists soon enough.~Sarah
Yes, I have a minor obsession with avocados. ;-)This wrap is very easy to do and while a bit heavier is well worth carrying it with you.I used La Tortilla Factory Multi Grain wraps, small tub cream cheese, an avocado and dried sweetened cranberries. This will make 2 wraps.First off I spread 1 ounce of cream cheese on each wrap. You can use shelf stable or for an overnighter just carry normal cream cheese. Often near the bagels in grocery store bakeries you will find one of the two styles in 1-2 ounce tubs.I split the avocado in half, then sliced each half and placed it on a wrap. I then sprinkled 1 Tbsp of the cranberries on top of each wrap.Ford wanted a bit more so I shredded on two thick slices of natural turkey for him.Roll up and enjoy! These wraps will more than fill you up.~Sarah
