I'm scheduled to donate blood this afternoon. From what I recall, they give you cookies afterwards to raise your blood sugar. Being an educated Zonie now, :) I would think it would be better to eat a 1-block snack, such as a half of a Balance Bar. Opinions?

Thanks Sue! I had my 1/2 a Balance Bar and feel fine now ( a little lightheaded but I think that's normal). Guzzled my water and am Zoning away!! :) I looked at the snack table full of cookies and juice and all I could think was "you people will be crashing in an hour!"
