Persian cucumbers, big cherry tomatoes, Apple Heart Thrive vegan cookie (just one)
Today, my afternoon snack was all about my Winter Shape Up goal of trying to include vegetables in at least one snack per day this week. I always default to fruit for snack time, but getting a few extra veggies in my day will be much appreciated by the ol’ cuerpo.
As for the cookie, I’ve been meaning to try these since I saw them being sold at a local coffee shop. It was good! Really dense and a little bit tart. The nutritionals are pretty solid, too.
Ingredients: Oats, brown rice syrup, natural apples, brown rice flour, soy protein concentrate, soy flour, inulin, rice bran, apple juice, dried plums, dried apples, dried pears, calcium citrate, cinnamon

I’m not crazy about the added soy business, but I think this trumps any other cookie I could’ve bought health-wise, so I’m okay with it. Compromises, compromises.
