Trader Joe's in Texas!
Any DFWers super excited about Trader Joe's opening up stores? I've also heard that they are opening in Houston and Austin but I don't have any details on that. I still haven't made the trip to go but I am really pumped because I've heard such good things about it! I love that we have so many health food options here now.

What foods did you think were healthy but actually aren't??
I think one of the biggest issues with trying to be healthy is that it's really hard to differentiate between what is healthy and what isn't without scrutinizing the nutrition label (and even then, you have to know what to look for).

Looking for friends who want to inspire and be inspired! :)
Hey y'all!

What is a "healthy food" that you cannot buy...
because you love it too much??? For me, it's fresh guacamole. Holy cow. Guac isn't too bad for you, in moderation. But if I buy it, I eat the whole thing complete with tortilla chips and salsa too. I could never just have it around as a light snack. It's a binge food for sure! Does anyone have one of these foods? Healthy…

Today I even found two new products, both really healthy, at Walmart and Kroger!!! I was so excited I wrote about it in my blog here on MFP.…

Blueberry almond smoothie! DELISH!!!
Since I've been home for the summer from school, my mom and I have been making this blueberry almond smoothie I found on pinterest, and it is AMAZING. It calls for 1.5 cups of unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1 cup of blueberries, 1 to 1.5 of a banana (I don't like mine too banana-y so I usually only put 1 in there), and 1…
