nutritious junk

I’m a chick, and as a chick I must have chocolate.  Though I don’t really like chocolate all by its lonesome I will pretty much inhale anything that has it in its ingredients list.  Unfortunately, a lot of the time, with chocolate-laced foods comes a colossal amount of calories and fat.  Because I’m a whore for new products I was all yippy ki yay when Glennys, the makers of soy crisps, came out with brownies.  They’ve now been out for a little while and they are no longer just in specialty stores, I found mine at 7-11.  Glennys has jumped on the 100 calorie bandwagon with their 100 calorie brownies.  Along with 4g of fat and a very impressive 7g of fiber and 4g of protein.  It’s also all natural, which means it’s actually made with cocoa and real chocolate chips.  I got the chocolate chip version.  It’s a very nice sized brownie for the calories, 41g to be exact.  The taste, not bad.  It wasn’t really, really sweet like other brownies and you could actually taste the cocoa. There was just a little something off about it that I can’t put my finger on.  Looking at the ingredients list it may be the lemon juice. It was also dense and moist.  It didn’t have the texture of a fresh-out-the-oven brownie, but come on; these things are packaged and waiting.  They definitely didn’t have the cardboard texture that I’ve gotten from other “healthy” cakes and cookies.   The chocolate chips added a little variation in texture and some extra chocolate flavor.  I really like these to help curb a need for a crazy, calorie dense brownie (which you can find in a lot of restaurants).  I also tried warming it up and topping it with Carb a Whey.   Wow.  So in my time of need, Glennys may be on my list to help me out with my chocolate addiction.
