Yesterday afternoon I ended up eating both snacks I had. I guess chewing gum did not make a huge difference in how much I ate. I had an apple and a Quaker True Delight Bar with some Peach Ginger Green Tea. I was not even hungry but knew I needed some fuel before the gym.
I went to the gym and walked for 15 minutes on the treadmill and then took Cardio Kickboxing class. It was really good last night. I would say it is more like the Shred than my weight class. I was so drenched because it was non stop squats, jumping jacks, push ups, kicks, everything! Love it.
I got home and had 2 packages! The first was from Glee Gum.
I tried out this gum a few weeks ago since it is all natural and does not contain the sorbitol that kills my stomach. I only tried Peppermint and Cinnamon so I look forward to trying the other flavors. The taste tends to run out much faster than Orbit but it is still a better alternative since it is all natural!
The next package was from theGoodOnYaBar.
The flavors are:
- Peanut Butter Dark Chocolate
- Peanut Butter Honey
- Maple Dark Chocolate
Sounds good to me 
Product review in a few days!
When I got home, I smelled something cooking. The boy was making me Whole Wheat Linguine while I was at the gym!
It was not quite ready yet when I got home so I decided to snack on some hummus! Pam from Tribe Hummus was kind enough to send me a coupon for a free container so I got Roasted Red Pepper to try!
I still had some Sabra Roasted Red Pepper left so I decided to compare the two!
The Tribe was much darker in color. It had tiny chunks of red peppers throughout the hummus.
The Sabra comes with a big pile of roasted red peppers on top of the hummus. I usually mix them right in as soon as I open the container. It seems to contain a lot more peppers than Tribe.
I decided to try the both flavors on cucumbers to compare the taste. First was Tribe.
At first I was not too thrilled with the flavor. It had a weird, artificial taste but seemed to get a little better after each scoop I took.
Next I tried Sabra.
I already knew I was in love with Sabra from the start but wanted to see how it compared. It had a much better flavor to me. It tasted more natural and was also much creamier in texture. The boy also agreed with me that Sabra was much better.
I compared the nutrition facts next.

Tribe wins in the nutritional department since it has 30 less calories, 3.5 fewer grams of fat, and a shorter ingredient list. I would honestly still prefer Sabra since it tastes so much better and is much creamier! They are both wonderful brands and go great on sandwiches, chips, and veggies! I can never have too much hummus
As I was enjoying all of the hummus, I walked over to see how the boy was doing with the cooking. He was cooking up mushrooms and tomatoes for me! I mentioned to him the other day that tomatoes are better for you when cooked because it increases the lycopene levels. I guess he was paying attention because this was the first time he cooked them for me!
I made a salad and poured the mushroom and tomato mix on top.
I enjoyed my pasta on the side! Very good!
For dessert we wanted ice cream but there was only a tiny bit of the Turtle Mountain Mocha Almond Fudge left so we decided to add in a Coconut Almond Mini!
I scooped out what was left of the ice cream and crumbled the mini on top.
With bananas and whipped cream!
I will never get sick of my ice cream! I am off to go make some breakfast. Have a great day!

i AM so bummed, i just bought Tribe b/c i saw it on blogs and i really don’t like it at all! I totally agree, and i think the higher fat of Sabra is better to keep me full for longer and it just tastes soo much better!

I can tell you with absolute certainty, that you may as well burn your money in a voodoo traffic pyre while chanting “Alexa” over and over. Maybe that will work.
