Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
We love coffee - a sentiment that most bloggers probably share - but you cannot subsist on coffee alone and the pastries at coffee shops often leave much to be desired when it comes to flavor, as well as a little extra that we don't desire around our waists. With coffee and better-for-you options already on our minds, the new granola bars from Caribou Coffee caught our attention right away. The bars come in two coffee flavors - Vanilla Latte and Chocolate Mocha - but have only as much caffeine as decaf coffee, despite their taste. Each bar has about 140 calories and 3 grams of fat. Caribou says that they're a good source of calcium and whole grains, too.
Both flavors of bar are available online, so you can pick them up without trying to hunt down a store that carries them.

cafeteria at work and now I'm addicted to them. We're
not allowed to have "contraband" in the cafeteria, so
I feel like a spy when I'm eating one; you know, peeking around corners, hiding under the tables or even locking myself in the storeroom. It makes eating
them even more fun!

However, I first saw them on the very top shelf at my market, and could only make out the "Made with Real Caribou" out of the little part of the box that said "Made with Real Caribou Coffee". That was enough to make me laugh, so I bought a box. A little expensive, but I think that they are worth it.
