We asked some of our favorite food bloggers to share with us their 5 Favorite Food Products of 2008 and we're bringing them to you all December long.

Tina from CarrotsandCake.com believes in finding a healthy balance with foods and that's what her blog is about. "While I try to fill my diet with mostly nutritious foods, I have a number of favorite foods that do not score high on the nutrient value scale, but are delicious and fun to eat. If eaten in moderation, I believe that the "bad" foods can be part of an overall healthy diet." Her 5 faves from 2008 are below (click the product name to read her review & recipes on her blog):

1. Barney Butter. Ever since I discovered it, I have been using it in my morning Oat Bowls.

2. Larabars. My favorite falvors so far are ranked and reviewed. The Original Fruit & Nut Larabar is tops so far.

3. Arnold Sandwich Thins. This number of ways this can be used is limitless.

4. Adora Calcium Supplements. Each piece provides 500mg of calcium and 100IU of vitamin D.

5. Stonyfield Oikos Greek Yogurt. There is an impressive 15 grams of protein, 20% of your daily recommended calcium, and it is DE-LIC-IOUS!!!

Be sure to check out Carrots 'N' Cake to see her food diary - love how she incorporates healthy products, plus doesn't deprive herself of all of her favorite treats.
