Thank goodness for Prunes

Posted April 22, 2009

Today I had some prunes. Last weekend I went shopping and while in the produce saw them- that pretty yellow bag covered with prune pictures and I thought mmm I haven’t had prunes in ages!

SOOOO I got some prunes! Delicious- do you know that a prune is like only 20 calories a prune? I know you are thinking 20 calories for that tiny bite! But they are packed with fiber and vitamin A, B, C Iron, Vitamin E, and so on. They are a great source of antioxidants and if you are feeling like going to the bathroom is a bit more strenuous than you would like- well prunes will be your hero!

Personally I love them, and a quick snack of ten prunes (200 calories) is enough to keep me going for another few hours, specially while I’m studying for ANOTHER chemistry test *sigh*

So go out and enjoy some prunes and poop easy! ;) lol

    I recently bought those sunsweet ones…and OMG..are they the bomb. They are also individually wrapped, so you can take them anywhere! They are wrapped like candy!! and yup…20 cals a pop. Wonder why prunes have gotten such a reputation and a bad wrap over the years?

    thanks for the idea. i think i’ll scope out some prunes on my next grocery visit. they’d make a great afternoon class when my usual hunger pang hits.
