Trader Joe's

I just load up on 2 buck chuck... but that is me.

I do all my grocery shopping at Trader Joe's. My food diary is open, so you can go ahead and take a peak at what I eat from there. =D

If you go into the food data base and typet in Trader Joes it will tell you all the nutrition info. Then you can decide what's healthy for you once you start clicking on all of them.

TJ's is AWESOME for healthy eating- you're gonna love it.

I love their produce, fantastically-priced spices, frozen fish and veggies, gyoza potstickers, parmesan cheese, and fun condiments and sauces to jazz up your healthy cooking. Just try a few things each time and see what you like. Everything is so well-priced, it's hard to go wrong.

Love Trader Joe's! I stock up on frozen veggies (Harvest Hodgepodge and Soycutash), frozen rice (brown and jasmine), Frozen pops like Fruit Floes (Caribbean, Lime, and Strawberry). Great hummus and pita chips, deli meats, coffee, scones, and breads. Hmmm, let's see, anything else??? The cookies are yummy but not necessarily healthy, LOL. Have a great time with it!

My favorite healthy things at Trader Joe's are: simply trek mix (cranberries, almonds, cashews), mini bambino pizzas (in frozen section...each tiny pizza is soooo good and only 250 calories), and Barbara's cinnamon puffins cereal. (TJ's also has a lot of delicious treats that aren't so good for you too...it took me awhile to get over the "I don't know any of these brands" thing and just look at the products...they always have samples somewhere in the store too.)

I think you'll love Trader Joe's.

Besides fresh produce, I always stock up on these:

TJ's brand hummus (lower cals than Athenos)
100% whole wheat flatbread
Spinach lentil dip
their lines of simmer sauces like masala sauces
they always stock up on their greek yogurt section (their own brand and other brands)
ready made salads

Trader Joe is my boyfriend.

Okay, but seriously, I love too many things from there to attempt a complete list, so I'll just try for my must-haves: frozen veggies (especially spinach, peas and green beans) and veggie mixes (Harvest Hodgepodge is amazing), raw nuts, olive oil, brown rice pasta, peanut butter and almond butter, crackers, lemon curd, tomato and roasted red pepper soup, cheeses, and a whole slew of little candies featuring dark chocolate.

Next time you go, give yourself a decent amount of time to walk around the whole store and look at everything.

This is a copy from some other post that I replied about food shopping list.

I love Trader Joes! I like to try something new every time I go. One of my favs though is the rice noodles. Noodles made from rice. Better for you than regular pasta.
