This morning I got a text from Kim. Not only my wonderful Aunt, but probably one of the most dedicated readers of this lovely blog. Today was the day she hit Trader Joes for the first time! YAY!!
So she asked for suggestions, here's my list of faves.
Snacky Things:
Quinoa and Black bean chips
Individual Trail Mix packets
Chewy fiber bars in peanut butter of chocolate chip
Power crunch protein bars in peanut butter chocolate or vanilla
Meal Ideas:
Mandarin Orange Chicken
Fried Rice
In the poultry department they have marinated chicken strips. They are absolutely delicious on salads or in wraps. Just throw them on a pan in the oven for like 20 minutes and then they can get thrown in the freezer for an easy meal. I'd suggest the Sun dried tomato or pesto varieties!
She shared a picture of her full cart!
And her first TJ's meal!
Pesto chicken strips with quinoa an amazingly easy and healthy choice :)
Today I hit the gym for a nice jaunt on the elliptical then some legs and arms in preparation for my killer 7 mile run tomorrow...afterwards I wasn't feeling crappy dining center food, so I made myself a dorm dinner.
Banana Chocoalte Protein Shake:
2 scoops chocolate isopure protein (50 grams of protein)
3/4 c almond milk (unsweetened)
1 banana
ice
I supplemented my shake with 1/2 c of blueberries and a whole grain sandwich thin toasted with a smear of light vegetable cream cheese. It was absolutely delicious and it made my workout totally worth it!
Had to share my post workout snapchat with Bailey....needless to say I am horrified about running 7 miles tomorrow.
Hopefully you'll hear from me post-run tomorrow!
