You will never see me write about food on this blog. Some people live to eat, I eat to live. I mean I have my favorite places, but for the most part food is not my thing. That being said, I have fallen in love with Trader Joes. 1) Trader Joes has the same prices across the country, which means for NYC peeps it is super cheap. Seriously, it's cut my grocery bill 50% since they opened in the UWS. Not that I buy that many groceries, but when I do I save $ 2) I love their products. They sell all their own brands, so you have to learn their items, but once you do it is great! To me they are the perfect place to shop when you want tasty, healthy food on a budget.
One of my favorite Trader Joes products right now is their frozen vanilla greek yogurt. It's fat free and pretty low cal and it's soooo good! I've been adding frozen fruit (also from Trader Joes) to top it off and it's been the perfect way to beat the summer heat when you need something sweet.
Another thing that has been a big hit for me this summer is protein shakes in the morning.
I've beeen doing a combination of:
handful of spinach
handful of fruit (normally frozen) mangos, strawberries, and blueberries are my fav
2.5 ounces of 0% greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
protein powder (I use spiru tein from the vitamin shoppe)
6 ounces skim milk
I add all items to my Magic Bullet (which I LOVE) and blend until smooth.
I work-out in the mornings and then am always racing to get ready for work, so this smoothie has been a great way for me to eat breakfast on the go!
Ok This really will probably be my one and only blog post you will see of food!
Enjoy!
