I don't drink coffee every day but when I do, I like to eat something sweet-ish with it to make the "meal" something to really look forward to. So far, that sweet has been a protein bar in varying flavors.

Any other ideas? Under 300 calories? I don't like eating hot foods when I drink my mid-morning or mid-afternoon coffee :)

Thanks!

    Under 300 cals? You could have a chocolate bar for less than that!

    The Fiber One Brownies are great with coffee and only 90calories. Or there are many granola bars out there for about 100calories.

    I like the Special K Chocolaty Pretzel bars. I also like to have Vanilla Yoplait Whips as well.

    No, I will check out that list now. I do have to thank previous posters for the pretzel/chocolate combo ideas. Love it.

    mmmm fig newtons! I haven't had those in a long time. My kids eat a Trader Joe's fig bar that might also be good. I'll look at the nutritional contents.

    OH MY! Thank you for writing that all out. I work out pretty hard in the morning so I know I can afford these. I love the trailmix recipe and your fruit crisp recipe. All are very doable. Where can I get the muffins? You just gave me an idea that I can bake my own muffins though. Awesome!

    I don't care for watermelon with coffee but I do love me some watermelon. You should try it with feta cheese and a balsamic reduction. So goooood!
