Major Trader Joe’s Restock

I thought that the week of July 4th would slow down but I was so wrong. It’s nuts! I originally planned to spend the week in Florida with my family but thank god I decided to postpone that until later this summer because I am booked solid this week with clients and classes. I have clients every day starting at 5:30 a.m., classes and clients every evening and I’m scheduled to teach two special July 4 yoga classes. Usually summer is slow in the fitness industry but business is good this year! Such a blessing!

This busy week is making me hungry! I did a major restock at Trader Joe’s on Sunday afternoon and wanted to share what I purchase with y’all. Note that I had already done a farmers market trip Saturday where I picked up fresh chicken, ground beef, kale, squash, zucchini, peaches and tomatoes. And I had recently restocked on spinach, salad greens and bananas at Whole Foods.

Veggies included eggplant, broccoli slaw, brussels sprouts, button mushrooms, portobello mushrooms and avocado.

Fruit included apples, nectarines, kiwis and lemons.

Dairy was plain greek yogurt, shredded Italian cheese blend, shaved cheese and feta.

Pantry and fridge supplies included…salsa, olive oil spray, peanut butter, almond butter, almond milk, green juice (TJ’s just started carrying cold-pressed juice. It was $4.99 at my store. I’ll let you know what I think.), fig butter, pepper jelly, honey, garbanzo beans, coconut milk, chicken stock, sundried tomatoes, brown rice and sliced almonds.

Extra-firm tofu, chicken sausage and wild caught salmon.

And for the frozen goods…two new to me products…a quinoa, sweet potato and kale blend and a blend of green garbanzo beans and lentils. Also, another veggie blend, strawberries and figs. I was SO EXCITED that they had the figs again. I got them a few months ago and haven’t seen them since. They are giant and delicious and perfect for smoothies!

I think it’s safe to say that my fridge, freezer and pantry are stocked. I’m eating good this week and cannot wait to share the next recent eats post with you! 🙂

Have a great July 4th week!

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

Breakfast + What I Bought at Trader Joe’s

I am such a creature of habit when it comes to breakfast. 95% of the time I’m craving a breakfast that is on the sweet side. That mostly alternates between smoothies or yogurt bowls with overnight oats, chia pudding or oatmeal occasionally thrown in there. On the rare occasion I go savory – it’s scrambled [...]

Life Lately: Summer So Far

Life Lately: Summer So Far

I want to bottle up this summer and make it last forever (well, maybe minus the wildly hot and humid weather that makes running a big thumbs down). I mentioned this in my last post…but I am really enjoying the slower pace and the days that feel like they have more space. While I’m trying [...]

Happy Friday! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying the summer. We are in the dog days of it over here in Charlotte – the heat and humidity is off the charts – but it’s something I’ll embrace because I deeply appreciate the massive slow down that summer has brought. A lot of [...]

Life Lately: 8 Years Old, A New Piercing, Trail Training and More

Happy Memorial Day Weekend. It’s a very rainy one here in Charlotte and while I am a little bummed not to be spending the weekend in Florida with the fam or by the pool at our swim club (just opened for the season!), I’m also welcoming a slower pace and time at home. It’s been [...]
