Gone Bananas!

I had planned a treadmill speed workout yesterday, but by the time 5 o'clock rolled around found myself stahhhhving.

Enter these:

Yes, that is an individually sliced banana frozen and covered in chocolate, dipped in peanut butter. I did not create these, you can find them at your local Trader Joe's. I discovered them while waiting in the check out line behind a chic older woman who had only a 6 pack of beer and 7 (count 'em) packages of Gone Bananas! in her basket. I know, she is an inspiration to us all.

The peanut butter addition is all me, though. I ate the entire box. 5 servings my Aunt Sally!

What I learned about Gone Bananas! besides the fact that they exist and are the most delicious thing I've ever eaten, is that they are also great running fuel.

Impromptu 8 mile run in the muggy heat? Crushed. Powered by the gooey goodness of Gone Bananas! I can do anything.

This is why you're fat.

As I was tooling around on the internet during my lunch break yesterday, I stumbled upon this little tweet, which sparked my curiosity and led me to follow the link:

Yes, I follow peanut butter on twitter, okay? I also have at least two jars of peanut butter at home waiting for me at all times (I like to have a jar of Trader Joe's classic creamy as well as a fun flava like THIS!). I also once ran out to buy a jar of peanut butter in the middle of eating an apple with peanut butter as my jar was running dangerously low - nothing says "pb addict" like a mid-snack grocery run. Also, in light of the title of this post, I feel that I should clarify that my point here is not that I'm fat because I eat a lot of peanut butter (although maybe it should be...).

My point is this: this NPR blog, documenting outrageously and grotesquely unhealthy sandwiches enjoyed (or not...) weekly in their office, is hilarious. Read it. Don't eat what they eat. That's all.
