I have always been a fan of smoothies. Throughout college and after moving to D.C., I was a frequent customer at Jamba Juice and Robeks. I had a difficult time making smoothies at home: between having the ingredients in the fridge to not knowing the exact proportions, I found it easier to buy them from a smoothie shop. Totally not economical! That was until I discovered Orgain Organic Protein Powder about a year ago. It totally changed my smoothie game and now I have a smoothie at home at least four times per week! Here is my go-to berry protein smoothie recipe.
With fall just around the corner, we are entering the time of year when I start to crave comfort food. Well, let’s be honest. There are some comfort foods I crave year-round! And as much as I would love to eat these comfort foods ALL.THE.TIME., it’s not very realistic. Today, I am rounding up four of my favorite healthy spins on fall comfort food. These recipes make you think you are enjoying the traditional recipe, without all the guilt.
After sharing my top 5 Trader Joe’s finds a few months ago (see that post here), I received such great feedback I thought I would share another Trader Joe’s related post with new finds. With new discoveries each time I visit the store, this could turn into a quarterly series! As I mentioned in my last Trader Joe’s post, I usually don’t find my weekly groceries at TJ’s. I use it more for speciality products and snacks. I find it difficult to shop there for “everyday items” because they might not always have, for example, asparagus in stock. However, if I am looking for snacks and other non-staples, Trader Joe’s is great. Here is another Trader Joe’s haul: 6 new finds.
I have always found breakfast foods to be challenging. Weekday mornings are typically a rush, so quick meals are key. Since giving up caffeine last summer, I don’t frequent Starbucks all that much. But, a few months ago, I stopped by to get a decaf coffee and saw these cute, little egg bites in the case. Known as “sous vide egg bites” and with an egg and egg white version to pick from, I thought I would give the egg white version a try. After one bite, I was hooked. Since I loved the Starbucks version, I thought I would try recreating the recipe at home.
I don’t know about you, but I always like reading about new food finds. I shared a few of my favorite healthy snacks (post here) with you a few months ago and now I’m back with a Trader Joe’s edition. As much as I love sharing new recipes with you each week, all the recipes start with some of my favorite ingredients and this post gives me a chance to share a few of the products I’m loving. We have a Trader Joe’s pretty close to our house and I always love checking out their newest selection. Although I don’t find Trader Joe’s to be a great place to find your “everyday” groceries, it is good for specialty products and snacks. Here is my Trader Joe’s top five products.
I am always on the lookout for the latest and greatest when it comes to healthy foods. I really try to eat healthy during the week while letting myself splurge a little on the weekends. Lately, I have been finding some great healthy foods and thought it would be fun to share what I’m loving right now. I photographed these pictures awhile ago and have actually been through at least one package of each. Needless to say, these are my current favorite healthy foods!
