Which One Wednesday: Fiber One Answer

If you chose Fiber One Oats & Chocolate for yesterday's Which One Wednesday... you were incorrect.  

Like I said yesterday, during long club volleyball tournaments with minimal breaks, Fiber One 90 Calorie Chocolate bars were a go-to for energy!  But, Fiber One Oats and Chocolate bars may contain peanuts or almonds.

NUTS and Bolts of Food Allergies

On this Valentine’s Day, you may be looking for that “killer kiss”…just don’t let that kiss be a killer!

In a 2006 research study, scientists sought to determine how long the peanut protein stays in a person’s saliva.  The results reveal that it takes hours for the protein to be gone completely.  The researchers advise people to brush their teeth after eating peanut products and wait at least a few hours before kissing someone with a peanut allergy.

Just as the person with a peanut allergy must avoid ingesting peanuts, the significant other might choose to abstain from eating peanuts when the couple is together.

Which One Wednesday: Valentine's Day Chocolates Answer

We're one day closer to Valentine's Day!  If you chose the Dove Milk Chocolate as the peanut-friendly option... you were correct!

During all holidays, Dove Milk Chocolate can be found around my house.  Not only does Dove make a great tasting chocolate, but they also provide inspirational messages in their wrappers!

Unfortunately, Hershey Milk Chocolate Bliss isn't an option as it is processed on the same equipment as products containing peanuts.
