Trader Joe's Blueberry Fiber Mini Cakes
I had seen these Blueberry Fiber Mini Cakes at Trader Joe’s but had passed them by because their appearance is, well, not all that appetizing. They are dark brown pucks of fiber, and and the few blueberries sprinkled on top do little to add to their visual appeal. Also, I do my damndest not to look at any of the baked goods there because no good can come from baked goods. Or so I thought.
I decided to take another look when my Weight Watchers leader brought them to our meeting and noted they are only 1 Point each, vegan, and natural-ish ingredients-no chicory root extract to pump up the fiber.
The first ingredient? Wheat bran. Only 80 calories, and 1.5 grams of fat. I’d love to tell you the amount of fiber, but as you can see from the pic the ingredient info was damaged in an effort to extricate the cake. They also come in apple cranberry, which I would try but they were all snapped up! I got the last box of the blueberry, disappointing another Weight Watchers meeting attendee behind me.
Visually, they are still are not a cake you’d want to bring home to momma. Or call a cake.
But still, they are a snack I’d get again. They are dense and filling, and chock full of blueberries. They can satisfy a sweet tooth without triggering a sweet tooth attack. And with the amount of fiber in each one, if they did somehow trigger a binge, it’d be a mistake you’d only make once.
