We enjoyed reading Mary Tyler Moore's latest autobiography, " Growing Up Again: Life, Loves, and Oh Yeah, Diabetes" (www.amazon.com) and were amazed to discover the amount of discipline and strategy that goes into choosing when and what to eat when you are diabetic.
A nice example of synchronicity, then, to discover Santa Clarita-based Granola Gourmet (www.granolagourmet.com), a company that's created "Energy Bars for Athletes, Diabetics and YOU".
Sweetened with raw organic blue agave and honey, four varieties of bars are offered: brownie, chocolate espresso, spiced orange cranberry (pictured above) and very berry. The bars we sampled were sweet, chewy and very satisfying and although we don't need them for dietary reasons, we'd rather opt for a Granola Gourmet bar than any of the other packaged energy bars currently on the market. Granola Gourmet Energy Bars contain antioxidants, omega 3's and fiber and are chock full of such natural healthy ingredients as organic oats, dried cranberries, olive oil, almonds and cinnamon.
Grab a four-pack to keep handy in the car during the summer when traveling with the kids.Granola Gourmet Energy Bars are great for hiking and camping. Keep a carton in your desk drawer to satisfy those 3 o'clock munchie cravings rather than heading to a vending machine. And a portion of all sales supports the American Diabetes Association.
Until our next food find...may all your food finds be fabulous!
