Luna Tea Cakes: Vanilla Macadamia
Have you guys ever tried Luna Tea Cakes? Since you all are such big fans of Luna Bars I thought I'd give these a try.

Good Tips for Choosing a Great Breakfast Bar
Breakfast bars are a great idea, in theory. However, some mainstream breakfast bars are high in sugar, low in protein and very low in taste. So before you buy a box of new breakfast bars, be sure to check out these requirements for picking a good bar:
- It should not have more than 15 grams of sugar.
- It should have 5 grams or more of fiber.
- It should have at least 5 grams of protein.
- It should contain 25% of the DV for calcium.
