Seriously, we’re talking 125 calories a pop here folks.

For those of you that know me, you may be wondering “Why healthy? Copious amounts of calories and sugar never stopped Claire before.” To which I would say touché, and also remind you that this is a judgement free zone. <—DESIGNATED JUDGEMENT FREE ZONE See, I made it all official there *uses hands to draw imaginary bubble around self*

But after a particularly busy and somewhat stressful week at work, and an undisclosed number of empty cookie boxes that may or may not have been eaten during a time typically reserved for things called “breakfast” littering my cubicle space, I had to admit that I may have been over indulging myself. Seriously guys, I literally caught myself thinking “Why don’t I have any cake right now?” at 9am this morning. Remember, JUDGEMENT FREE ZONE *points at sign that has suddenly appeared on the wall*

Also, the afternoon sugar coma crash was starting to feel counter productive. There just HAD to be a way to be healthy AND get my early morning cake fix (because, priorities people).
