Pretzel-licious
Just recently, I bumped into Auntie Anne's and discovered a whole new way of eating the century-old snack, pretzel.
Auntie Anne's introduces the 8-grain Pretzel - a combination of oats, corn, rice, millet, quinoa, sesame seeds, rye, and barley in a very tasty mix.
Sold @ a discounted price of P38.50 (originally priced at P48.00/ 20% discount)/ piece.
and, aside from enjoying this sumptuous snack, you get a FREE 1-day trial work-out @ Fitness First (any branch).
So rich in fiber, So full of healthy nutrients, a guilt-free filling snack!
Happy eating.
