Today's post is about my love affair with Trader Joe's. Hopefully you have one of these sweet little specialty food markets near you. Once known to me simply as the place with the delicious mini quiches, it is now a source of many affordable diet staples.
Here are my Top 10 Trader Joe's Favorites:
1. Greek Yogurt: Before it was everywhere it was at TJ's and affordable
2. Pepper Strips: Frozen tri colored pepper strips a great value and super tasty to toss in anything
3. Cereal: Great prices on high quality healthy cereals
4. Soup in a Box: Classier than wine in a box, cheaper and healthier than soup in a can
5. Hummus: Better prices than grocier store, great variety
6. Honey Wheat Pretzel Sticks: Tasty, healthy and affordable snack option
7. Nuts: Best prices on a great variety of nuts
8. Dried Fruit: Ditto
9. Spices: Jazz up your healthy cooking for less
10. Olive Tapanade: Need a party favroite with heart healthy fat for cheap?
Now be cautious, Trader Joe's does have lots of tasty, unhealthy options too, so shop with care. They also don't carry many staples so it can't be your sole shopping each week, but I go about once a month and stock up on my favorites!
I had forgotten about the honey wheat pretzel sticks - I love those!
