Happy Tuesday I started my day with boot camp. I’m very happy it’s been warmer this week so it’s not dark AND cold outside!!
Then, I came straight home thinking about breakfast all the way. I’m surprised at how hungry I by the time I get home even though it’s not even 7am yet?! Guess an early wake up call means an early stomach growling.
While I was cooking breakfast (for me and Ben) I ate some of this Fullbar the company sent me to try. I’ve been chomping on these in between meals here and there when I need a quick snack. I don’t like that they are marketed to be a weight loss bar, because their stats are similar to so many other bars out there so a “normal” audience can appreciate it too 🙂 But I do like that they’re light and tasty to help hold off hunger if you’re busy – especially if you have it with a glass of water as the package says. You check out the Fullbar FB page here.
I also chomped on some of these Funky Monkey banana snacks. They are surprisingly good!
I have a writing assignment and some evening clients. So, I’ll see ya later

I see you’re also loving the dried fruit these days! I don’t know if it’s the cold weather but I am all about it myself…yum!
Also, looking at that bagel makes me hungry. It’s not even meal or snack time…
Amber K says
I love the taste of the Funky Monkey snacks, but man do I get the jitters after eating them. Super sugar rush!
Sami says
i love funky monkey bananamon flavor, but the pineapple lime is disgusting…unless you like that sort of thing…they’re kinda sour?! i don’t know.. if you try them, tell me what you think. (:
runeatrepeat says
I don’t like sour stuff, so I probably wouldn’t try them.
Amy says
im not so sure about full bars..were they good?
runeatrepeat says
Not as good as Luna bars, but what is?
Cara @ EAT. PRAY. RUN. says
Full Bar’s perplex me with their marketing and sky high prices…yet I have tried a couple of them and they are pretty tasty. I’m a sucker, I guess.
Lisa says
TJ’s has freeze dried fruits that are similar to the Funky Monkey brand.
We love the banana, strawberry and blueberries.
runeatrepeat says
I don’t know – the freeze dried fruits from TJ’s usually seem very dry – these are a unique texture I’ve never had in dried fruit. Have you tried this flavor?
Alison says
I actually really like the full bars too (peanut butter flavor). I am always slightly embarrassed to buy them because they are so obviously marketed as a weight loss bar. I am a big fan of rice krispie treats and these bars kind of remind me of the same kind of texture- like if I put marshmallows, peanut butter, and puff cereal together this is what I would get. I also like how big they are for only 160-180 cals. I feel like some bars are just so tiny and dense and these are just more puffed and airy. okay – enough about that- I was just glad to see them on your blog!
runeatrepeat says
I agree! I think I would be embarrassed to buy them, but I love the size!
Heather @ Run Eat Play says
I like the funky munky brand. They have dried apples too, which are really good.
Anne @strawberryjampackedlife says
Do you not eat before boot camp? I can probably eat if I’m only running a few miles, but if I’m doing any sort of strength training, I HAVE to eat. It’s usually just a banana, but it tides me over.
runeatrepeat says
No, I don’t eat before boot camp. I wake up, change and get out the door. I’m still half asleep when I arrive!
Anne @strawberryjampackedlife says
That sounds like how I show up to work sometimes. 😉 Now that it’s winter, I have to start drying my hair though.
Losing Lindy says
I have to ask, what do you put on your bagels?? It looks like peanut butter, jelly and chia seeds?
runeatrepeat says
Yes, PB&PB or jelly and chia seeds 🙂
Laura says
I’m so obsessed with banana chips lately. I’m going to attempt to make my own this weekend!
