yes that is more or less what I mean.
no qty/measurements were given, but taken as a meal, using the original 1 C 2%, 0.5C strawberries & 1/2 a small banana (and assuming no CHO in the protein powder) - that's 25g CHO. If you use 1C strawberries & 1 small banana - 35g CHO (after fiber is subtracted). If you consider that 1/2C kidney beans is 20g CHO less 5g fiber to net 15 ECC - that breakfast looks like a carb-y meal to me. even if it is yiour fruit meal - you can make less carb-y choices.
if the kashi bar was a Kashi GoLEAN - this is what it had:

not quite the same as nuts -
so that's all I meant - in emergencies you eat the best you can from what is available - but if you are being conscious about carbs you need to be aware of where they are in what you
are eating -
