When I was in nutrition school, we were introduced to the concept of what whole foods nutrition was with a little game. Our instructor gave us a list of ingredients of a commonly consumed processed food and we had to guess what the food was. So here you go… guess the ingredients and you will win a delicious 16 oz. packet of my homemade granola (post on that to follow soon). If you live in North America, I will mail it right to your door.
The contest will close one week from today. Ready… set… guess!

The first to get it right will win, but guessing will be open until Friday, March 27th. Leave your guesses as comments below.
Oreos? Jos Louis? Hostess Cupcakes? S’mores? Count Chocula? Okay. . . out of guesses! (and I swear I didn’t use a Google search!)
Cereal? Special K perhaps?
Eek! This is hard.
The caramel colour should tip me off more than it is.
First thing that pops to my mind is Cocoa Puffs. Do we get to guess as many times as we want?
My guess is Ritz crackers.
Pop tart?
This is really hard…. !!! Keebler Fudge cookies?
These are great guesses! Keep them coming- and yes you can guess as often as you like. The first person to put in the correct answer will win but guessing will continue until the close of the contest.
cornflakes?
I don’t know! I was going to say Wonder Bread but then I saw the cocoa, vanilla and caramel stuff… hmm… it has to be either a cereal or a cookie of some sort I think. It’s not a Twinkie because those have beef extract
Argh, I don’t know! I’m going to guess Lucky Charms, or those gross marshmallow puff cookies you used to eat, or a chocolate chip cookie like Chips a Hoy…
Vanessa- As if I ever ate any marshmallow containing cookie. As if.
Cookie Crisp cereal? Oreo Cakesters? … this is hard because I don’t eat this junk… Chocolate Poptarts? How about Milano Cookies? Girl Scout cookies?

sounds delicious. If i mixed all that together i feel like i would come up with a brownie of some sort… but the cracker meal?? Some sort of crust?
Brownie Pie? I know there isn’t such a thing but it sounds great.
Chocolate wafer cookies or Wagon Wheels
Cereal of some sort – my guess is Rice Krispies (?)
Kellogg’s Frosted Chocolate Fudge Poptarts?? If I’m right, *shudder*….I used to eat those before I went gluten-free! Scary stuff!!
i’ll go with a cookie! Maybe chocolate chip cookies, or girl scout cookies!! *shudders* Probably something i like
Ok, I’m really trying hard here! After some investigation my guess is a Kellogg’s Pop-Tart, Frosted Chocolate Fudge flavor!!!
