After a late night at the office a few weeks ago I arrived at the train station a little hungry. I knew I had about an hour before I'd be home and needed to get something to eat. I couldn't bring myself to go to McDonald's or any of the other fast food joints. So I wandered around one of the little newsstands/convenient stores until I ran across the Special K Bars. Now, I am not one who typically goes for these types of snacks (I'm usually grab a candy bar). But I am trying to eat better the ingredients on this one were a bit different. It is essentially Special K (the cereal) with fruit but in a bar form -- and it's only 90 calories. So, I went for it. I bought two of the blueberry ones, hopped on to the train, unwrapped the first one, and took a bite. I was pleasantly surprised by the sweetness and overall richness of the taste. Just the smell by itself was inviting. I finished the first and wanted to dive right into the second one, but decided to wait a bit to see if I was still hungry. About an hour later we pulled into my stop: I still wasn't hungry.

So now I keep some in my desk drawer and at hope. These are the perfect as a quick breakfast, an afternoon snack, or a "special" treat.
