endorsements - Puffins

so... i work a lot.  like 60 plus hours/week a lot.  often i'm out the door by like, 4:30 in the morning and that means i certainly don't eat breakfast before i leave the house.  luckily for me, my job provides breakfast.  unluckily for me, that breakfast usually comes in the form of "delicious breakfast burrito from the truck," or "tasty bagel with half a cup of cream cheese on it," or when things get really exciting "sweet and spongy doughnut from Dunkin Donuts."

i don't know if you know anything about things that are good for you, but i can tell you right now that none of those things are.

so in my efforts to be responsible i've started just bringing a box of cereal with me to work and i eat that everyday.  however, being on WW i'm often presented with some cold cereal related issues.

when they're good for you/low in points they usually don't taste good.  honestly, GoLean tastes like moderately sweet cluster made of pebbles.  then there's those that do taste good, Special K for example, but you're hungry again 45 minutes after eating it because it's basically made of air.  maybe i'm being a baby about this but it's true, Fiber One actually tastes like a bowl of sticks.

now i know this doesn't seem like much of an issue, i mean, it's cereal right?  how bad for you can it actually be?  the problem occurs when you try to do things like add a banana to your bowl of cereal to beef things up a bit.  then you have to add more milk because there's more in the bowl and i don't know about you but my cereal to milk ratio is constant and vital.  so anyway, you add the banana and you put some more milk in to get it right and all of a sudden you're at like 8 points for a stupid bowl of cereal!

well the other day, i found my salvation:

 PUFFINS!

this shit is awesome.  seriously.  90 calories, 1 gram of fat and 5 GRAMS OF FIBER for 3/4 of a cup!  that is 1 measly point my friend.  fuck it, have a whole cup.  i do.  want a banana in it?  GO AHEAD!  it's still gonna be less than 5 points.

they're sort of sweet but not too much (perfect for the afore mentioned banana-adding), crunchy but not in a made-of-pebble way and pretty much just spectacular.

so go buy some, or don't actually, then there's more for me!
