Produce
- Organic Pink Lady Apples: These are hands down my favorite apples, and I was upset the past few trips because they didn't have them. I was happy to see them today! I only eat organic apples, as it is one of the most pesticide filled foods, so always opt for organic!
- Naval Oranges: These weren't on my list, but they had samples out, and they were really juicy and sweet, so I picked up two! Can't wait to cut these up
- Red Grapes: I love grapes, they're a great snack! I love them because they're quick and easy and super yummy, and they also make a wonderful frozen snack!
- Blueberries: I usually like to put blueberries in smoothies or my soy yogurt. I'm going to start going to the gym this week, as well as personal training sessions, so I'm going to make protein shakes with Jarrow Optimal Plant Protein for post workout, so blueberries will make a yummy addition!
- Organic Tomatoes: I'm always looking for new lunch ideas, although I love my salads. I actually got this sandwich idea from Elle Fowler on youtube, which is a tomato sandwich. I veganized it with vegan mayo, and toasted two pieces of vegan bread, and put sliced tomatoes on top, which was so yummy!
- Organic Baby Carrots: I actually love carrots, and I'm not a big fan of raw vegetables yet. They're sweet, and I always pack them for lunch with hummus
- Organic Spring Mix: I eat at least one salad a day, but usually two. I make homemade italian dressing, which I'll post soon, and it's delicious! I love my salads now. I always change up my lettuce, but Spring Mix is my favorite
Bulk
- Long Grain Brown Rice: Brown rice is a staple in our house- not just for me, but my parents as well. When my mom makes it, she makes it in the microwave, which isn't a way I like to cook if I can help it, so I make it stovetop. I usually make a lot of it, so I have some for the week
- Forbidden Rice: I've been intrigued by this rice so many times, and haven't picked it up until now. I love the color- it's pitch black! I'm excited to make this- maybe tonight!
- Pistachios: I love love love pistachios! They're so good, and I like shelling them, it takes more time to eat, so I get fuller faster
- Walnuts: I put these in my cold cereal in the morning (I'll post the recipe soon)
- Vegetable Corkscrew Pasta: This was a new thing I picked up! It looked good and actually has real vegetables as well as wheat, so I'm excited to try it!
- Fresh Ground Almond Butter: I get this, without fail, every single week. It's fun to grind it yourself, and I love knowing what's in it- just almonds! I like making banana sandwiches and wraps with almond butter, as well as putting it in smoothies, and with my apples!
- Organic Raisins: This was in a box, not the bulk bins, because the ones in the bins have canola oil on them. I love raisins as a snack, or on my cold cereal (or hot!) in the mornings!
- Organic Unsweetened Applesauce: While I almost always opt for fresh fruit, I do enjoy applesauce once in a while
Bars
- Luna Bar: I only got one, as I had three in the house already, and I got my favorite- Iced Oatmeal Raisin. It's so good!
- Kind Bars: I got the Almond and Flax (plus Omega 3's- which I already ate, it was delicious!) and the Almond and Apricot. I love Kind Bars, and even though they do have honey in them, they don't have dairy, which is fine with me.
- That's It Bars: These are amazing on the go! All it is is fruit- two servings of it! I actually printed out four free bar coupons, so I saved over $6!
Snacks
- Crunchmaster Multi-Seed Rosemary and Olive Oil Crackers: I love these crackers, and they're filled with great ingredients. I dip these in hummus as a snack, but I don't have them as a snack too often (I usually have fresh fruit or nuts)
- Chocolate Covered Cherries: I eat very healthy, but I do enjoy chocolate on a regular basis. I love it, and it's my treat. I believe that indulging in little ways is key to not going overboard eventually, so I picked these up
- Seasnax: Don't judge, but I actually love these. I was very skeptical last week when I saw them, but curious, so I only got one. They have bigger and little sizes, and I got the little one. It's a seaweed snack. I know, it sounds gross to most people, but I actually love them. They're little sheets, and very very low in calories (for those of you who count). Seaweed is high in nutrition, so that's a plus!
- Seasprinkles: These are basically the same thing as Seasnax, but in a ripped up form
Baking
- Organic Agave Nectar: I use this as a sweetener in a lot of my baked goods, as well as a replacement for honey, and on my vegan pancakes, waffles, and french toast.
- Vegan Chocolate Chips: I use these in Chocolate Covered Katie's recipe for vegan chocolate chip cookies, which I love. I also occasionally put them in my cold cereal and trail mix
Non-Dairy
- Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk: I use this for everything you would put milk in- my oatmeal, cold cereal, baking, etc
- Whole Soy and Co Yogurt: I love this yogurt, in fact, it's one of the only non dairy yogurts I like (I love Trader Joe's brand- but I don't have a TJ's near me ):). I love putting cereal and fresh fruit in, and making a parfait. I love it plain too, though!
- Earth Balance Mindful Mayo: I've been wanting to get a Vegan Mayo for a while, and when I got a $1 coupon, I decided it was time. I used it right when I got home for a tomato sandwich, and I absolutely love it! I'm going to use it in Eco-Vegan Gal's 'tuna' (chick pea) recipe, on sandwiches, and in dressings!
Other
- Organic Puffed Kamut: This is the cold cereal I use in the morning, with a little fiber and protein for energy and satisfaction (: It's simple and I love it
- Whole Wheat Pasta: I got the 100% whole wheat pasta, which isn't only healthier, but tastes better. I make pasta about once a week, either with extra virgin olive oil or tomato sauce
- Kombucha: If you are into nutrition, or the Tone it Up girls, you have probably heard of kombucha. They rave about it, and it's supposed to be super healthy and good for you. It's a fermented tea, but is quite expensive, so I've never tried it. I bought a bottle, and will post about how I like it
- Buffalo Garlic Tofu: I tried a sample of this and absolutely loved it, so I had to pick a small container up. I stopped eating tofu as much as I did before, but I do enjoy the premade Whole Foods varieties once in a while
So this is what I got today! Have you tried any of these products? How did you like them? Do you have anything new you love?
