edamame

I’m always on the look out for a satisfying yet healthy snack.  I am happy to report I found just that at Trader Joes.

Dark Chocolate Edamame

It only takes a couple of these to satisfy my sweet tooth craving and it even has fiber and protein……and flavor.IMG_7640

For 1/4 C.  (and that would be plenty)

  • Calories: 200

Perfect for when you just need a little something.
