Tonight, I tried Nutella for very the first time.
I think I might have just died and gone to heaven.
I have always heard this stuff is great to spread on toast, pancakes, graham crackers or pair with a banana. I have just never tried it.
Brian helped me out by going to the store tonight and Nutella was on the list for the Protein Pancakes I plan to make Saturday morning before the Triathlon. It's a recipe I got from another Tri participant.
Apparently, these healthy pancakes are really yummy and her kids even crave them. I know Nutella isn't all that healthy, but it's all about the good fats, right?
Anyways, I opened it up to try it on a piece of toasted bread. OMG. It is to die for. It's like a chocolate, nutty surprise in your mouth.
I proceeded to eat two spoon fulls after my slice of bread. Oops.
It is so tasty! Such a yummy goodness that it is taking everything out of me to not march up to my kitchen right now and devour the entire jar.
Here's the fine print:
Nutella: 2 tbsp., 11 g fat, 200 calories
JIF Peanut Butter: 2 tbsp., 16 g fat, 190 calories
The good news is that both are good fats. The bad news is the "in moderation" part.
Uh-oh, I think I'm in BIG trouble...

can't wait to try it! and does this mean we are actually making the protein pancakes then??
YES!! I can make the batter the night before so we don't have to get up at 3:00 am! Although 4:00 am isn't much better:)
