| Rainforest Granola $11.49 EC (before VAT – more on that on a post soon) gram package (~$4 USD, or about $1/serving),1 banana runs for about a quarter apiece, and the pre-vat price for New Zealand full cream instant milk is $10.49 EC (~$4USD) and there’s still a lot left in the package I bought nearly 4 weeks ago. |
Fitness buffs, sadly, while we are getting up at 6 am most morns, this does not currently mean I’m doing exercises at the crack of dawn, but instead what goes in my mouth to get my day started.
Usually breakfast is a cup of French pressed (overly fine ground) coffee (though really Jonesin’ for a less-mess Melitta, and have seen the filters but not the cones) creamed with full-cream instant milk from New Zealand, St. Lucian Rainforest Crunch and sometimes a locally grown banana,. Quick, cheap and easy, and gets my day going in more than one way.
St. Lucian Product specs for us nerdy label readers (which definitely includes me!):
- 262 calories (½ cup servings– reasonable for a granola… though of course the milk, and if I add it, banana info isn’t included calorifically!)
- 15 g fat (a lot)
- 43 g carbs (dang, a lot!)
- 7 g fiber (excellent!)
- 8 g sugar (not bad)
- 4 g protein (nice bonus)
Eat, drink (dairy) and be merry!
