Plopped down on her kitchen floor in adorable red overalls and a white T-shirt, Jennifer Garner decides she’s going to allow followers a peek into her bag in one of herInstagram posts.
Jennifer Garner Just Shared Her Family’s Favorite Snack—and Ina Garten Loves It, Too
“I’m a little bit nervous but it feels appropriate to do ‘What’s in my bag?’” quips the actress and co-founder of the Once Upon a Farm brand, referring to the popular social media challenge where people empty out their bags to show what’s in them.
Out of a large black backpack, Garner proceeds to pull out a notebook and two-sided glasses case, noting, “If you’re over 50 you understand.”
She’s not done yet (it’s a big bag!). She pulls out an empty package of SmartSweets Sweet Fish while making a sad face and says, “Gah. Sad,” as she noshes on the chocolate.
Her datebook is next to reveal itself, and a “little, tiny bag of nuts,” which is a few leftover nuts settled into the corner of a bag that had already been mostly eaten.
“Better keep these,” jokes Garner as she pretends to put them back in her bag. “Just kidding!”
Next comes a bag of candy, to which Garner says, “Mmm a bag of candy! Gotta have your candy handy.”
She also pulls out tea, several pairs of glasses and more candy—this time a bag of SmartSweets Sourmelon Bites.
Here’s where it really gets comical as Garner proceeds to pull one container of nuts after another out of her bag until she’s laughing hysterically.
“I’m so scared I’m not going to have any nuts,” she says, red-faced and choking on her words in a fit of laughter.
In the end, she counts eight packages of nuts and takes a deep breath to compose herself. “OK,” she says with her classic dimpled Garner smile.
“You are adorable,” commented Courteney Cox with a heart emoji on Garner’s post.
We love that Garner had a variety of snacks in her bag—every one of which is good for a quick on-the-go pick-me-up. Yes, even the candy. Life—and food—are to be enjoyed, and candy can be a part of that enjoyment, especially when you eat a varied, well-balanced dietlike Garner does.
Combine the chocolate with the nuts and you’ve got some protein to sustain that energy boost (bonus:dark chocolate and nuts also can help lower inflammation!). And if you want to make your own RxBar knockoffs, we’ve gotplenty of recipesto choose from that are also easily portable.
Just a word of caution: Be sure you don’t leave your bag filled with chocolate in a hot car or in direct sunlight. Melted chocolate seeping through everything in your bag ruins the chocolate.
