If chocolate-
covered pretzels
hit the sweet
spot, you’ll love
this Kellogg’s
snack bar. Best
feature: It’s only
90 calories.
snack bars are hard to beat when you’re on the
go and need a quick pick-me-up. Here are five to
try that raise the bar on nutrients and flavor, while
keeping calories low.
CASHEW
◄ LARABAR
Densely packed with fruit
puree and nuts, these bars
contain no added sugar
and are dairy- and gluten-
free; 210 calories, but no
big deal if you're on the
way to a workout.
► FIBER ONE
These chewy General
Mills snacks provide
9 grams of fiber, or
35 percent of your
daily value. Unlike
many granola bars,
this one supplies a
little calcium, too;
140 calories.
◄ KASHI TLC
Seven whole grains
deliver the fiber, crispy
soy grahams provide the
protein, and dark
chocolate and tart cherry
morsels bring on the yum
factor; 120 calories.

Devote 20 to 30
minutes every so
often to tub time and
everyone around you will
benefit from your bliss, says
Lynne Vertrees, spa director at
Lake Austin Spa Resort in Austin,
Texas. Her recipe for relaxation?
Pour a capful of therapeutic sports
massage oil into a warm bath.
Vertrees says sports massage oils
promote circulation, relieve congestion,
and soothe aching muscles. (She
recommends Naturopathica’s Arnica
Muscle & Joint Bath and Body Oil,
$32.) If you’re more of a traditionalist,
go for fragrant Orange Sapphire
Bubble Bath (Bath & Body Works, $12);
it will transport you to the tropics.
