.................the package!!

I threw Emerald - Breakfast on the Go - Tropical Blend in my purse on the way out this morning. I worked out with the trainer and didnt want to end up on empty at work.

I had to sit at a courthouse, waiting for papers to be printed, and was happy to have my snack.

Munch munch munch....yum yum yum, Only 130 calories for my little snack.

Except the serving size was HALF the bag!! Who would think they would put TWO servings in a single serve bag...........seriously, naughty naughty on them!

Just thought I would share while I eat my regular lunch............or 1/2 of it anyway!!

    WOW... That is sooo annoying! Thanks for the heads up, its kind of like the gatorade bottles, its like 3 servings or something when really you drink a whole one after a workout and well ruin your workout! Dang society!....

    I hate that! That happened to me the other day with banana bread from planet smoothie. Usually I am carful to read the serving size, but every once in a while they get one over on me. It makes me so mad because I have to cut back for the day to make up for it. URGGGH.

    I know! It was a good snack, and I highly reccommend it for those that workout after work. I ate one last week at 3pm and had an awesome workout at 4:30. Of course, I ate DOUBLE on that day too:angry:

    Maybe I really do need more food in my body. Hmmmm

    Ooooh that's one of my biggest pet peeves! Completely unethical in my opinion.

    I love how you're always so upbeat, by the way. :tongue:

    We do the menu boards and the interior decor for Planet Smoothie. I love their smoothies. But I have to be picky abt which ones I choose because alot of them are very high in calories.

    What I hate is when you look up nutrition info for a restaurant and the serving size is really vague so you aren't sure how many servings are in an order or if the sides are included or not. :grumble:

    I loveee the tropical breakfast blends from emeralds. But they definitely got me with the serving size as well. Who could ever eat just half a package of that deliciousness?? lol
