Starbucks – Protein Artisan Snack Plate
This sampler morning snack is amazing because not only is it yummy, it offers a little bit of all that one needs to start their day: protein, fiber, whole grains and fresh fruit. The portions are just right and it tastes fab! On the downside, the honey butter paired with the cheese can make this meal a bit higher on the fat side. Maybe try reapportioning those items to just half!

Jamba Juice – Berry Topper Ideal Meal
According to nutrition expert, Robin Miller, “It really is an ideal meal because it meets all of your nutrient needs. It’s made with yogurt and soy milk, great sources of calcium and vitamin D—two nutrients women often lack. Also blended in are vitamin C–packed strawberries, blueberries, and bananas. And the organic pumpkin flaxseed granola gives you a dose of healthy fats for heart health.” On the downside, if you get the medium or large size you may over do it in the calorie department. Stick with the small!
