      I like to buy chia seeds, coconut oil, and on occasion, some frozen Indian dishes.

      Also, their chicken potstickers are crazy good.

      Chocolate.

      But, for meals, I've been buying their wanton soup, the just grilled chicken, and the vegetable medley. YUM!

      Geez I wish there was one, or something comparable, where I live in Canada...

      I always buy myself a bunch of flowers. <3

      Things I like to keep on hand are trail mix and almond butter. Just started buying some of their other products, like chia seeds, etc.

      I enjoy Joe's because it gives me great alternatives to snack foods. Veggie sticks, roasted seaweed, inner peas. Their hummus is great.

      And whatever they do with their little frozen Indian entrees is good enough for me.

      Vegetable samosas mmm so good. Their tahini-free hummus is really good and lower calorie due to the tahini-free-ness.

      And omg the frozen croissants - both chocolate and almond are amazing.

      And Powerberries.

      those chocolate covered powerberries are effing amazing.

      I like the frozen indian food quite a bit, most of the freezer stuff is decent but there are a few great things and a few less-good things. The kung pao chicken is pretty ok and its quick, so we usually set the rice cooker going before we go to the gym, and then when we get back wej ust have to stir fry up the chicken and its gtg.

      We also get a lot of cheese there, my husband swears the string cheese there is DEEPLY SUPERIOR to other brands.

      Staples are plain greek yogurt, nonfat cottage cheese, almond milk, shelled edamame, chicken sicilian sausages. I try (but am not always successful) to avoid all the snacks and prepared foods.
    • Posts: 1,274 Member
      I love edamame, but usually steamed in the shell with salt. How does the already shelled hold up?

      I like the brown rice and barley blend that is in the freezer section. I always have some in my freezer! I also like the frozen veggie polenta. I saute some shrimps and red/green peppers then stir in the frozen polenta and cook...sooooo yummy!
