Products I Love at Trader Joes (Part 2)

-
If anyone loves going to Trader Joes as much as I do, they know that there are so many wonderful products there that you can find so much cheaper compared to other stores. I find so many new products that I love and my family has also been a fan of when I have prepared meals for them. We love going to Trader Joes and finding new products. It is a great store to find vegan products in as well and they are also mostly all clearly labeled.

One of my all time favorite products is the tomato basil hummus dip. This has so much flavor and I love putting it in wraps, on crackers, and in pasta recipes. Let me know in the comments what you guys like using your hummus for? I have been using it in my recipes and not just as a dip and it adds so much flavor.

I love all of the hummus dips that I have tried from Trader Joes and because of how wonderful the prices are, I will always load up on multiple types of hummus each time I go.

I also love adding turmeric and tahini to my recipes for extra flavor and health benefits. This is great over bowls and any other meals where you want extra flavor and nutrients. Tahini can be used in a lot more than just hummus! I have also seen people put it in recipes for falafel, wraps, and in sweets as well (brownies, protein balls, etc.)! There is a flavor similar to peanut butter so if anyone is looking to try this, but they are unsure what it will taste like that is a similar flavor.

I am also a huge fan of spicy foods, so I picked up some mango ginger chutney. This can be great in bowls or anything you want to add a sweet, but spicy taste to. This can be added as a sauce to have with samosas or spring rolls.

Another one of my favorites from Trader Joes is the cocoa almond cashew milk. These are delicious and every person I know who has tried this product has loved it! This is one of my favorite ones to buy and if you heat it up, it can also be a wonderful hot cocoa.

Another meal I love to make with the food I get at Trader Joes are jackfruit tacos. I usually separate and drain the jackfruit and cook it with some BBQ sauce or any other sauce. Then I will add it to tacos with any other toppings and also put on some mango salsa. My favorite tortillas are the habanero lime tortillas, I have not found anything similar at any other store, so if anyone knows any other similar foods, let me know!

Another thing that goes well with the salsas are the quinoa and black bean tortilla chips. These are great for dipping and I also use them for hummus.

I have also heard people raving about how these next two products are, but it depends on what type of flavors you like. A lot of people were comparing the flavor of the Hi Protein Veggie Burger to a fish taste. Also, when I tried the vegetable masala burger, I loved it! I would buy that again on occasion because it adds great flavor to have with some veggies.

Healthy & Flavorful Vegan Meals

Sometimes it can be helpful to meal prep for the week, especially if you are typically really busy. Here are some recipes that may be good for you if you want to make some good meals for yourself and your loved ones. One meal you could do is take some of the Gardein Chicken tenders and bake those. You can put them over some rice or shredded veggies with some seasoning. I usually put a lemon on the side to add some extra flavor. Another thing that I typically put lemon on is some fishless fillets by Gardein. I had this with some cauliflower rice with lemon and garlic to flavor it. I also decided to have some zucchini on the side for extra vegetables. Another meal I love making wraps with some tortilla chips. For this above, you can stuff a tortilla with cucumber, tomato, hummus, and any other veggies that could be added. This is a great meal that can be healthy but filling. I like to have tortilla chips and salsa on the side as well. The last one that I want to sha

Veganism and Animals: Does veganism really help animals?

With all of the greener lifestyles that are being adapted all around the world there are tons of questions about exactly what veganism is, and exactly how it pertains to animals. For the vast majority of people it is extremely important to realize that you simply cannot make a sudden change like shifting from eating burgers every day to living a successful vegan lifestyle overnight. However, it is also possible to make some substantial changes that are on the path to becoming vegan and showing animals the respect that you believe they deserve. Many people in the quest to treat animals better are appalled to learn that many countries use some rather unconventional animals as food; this for many people can be action that triggers their desire to change to a vegan lifestyle, however for others it is simply another reason in a long list of reasons. Many countries such as China make usage of animals such as dog for their meals and many times people are unhappy to learn this, how

Healthy Snacks

Sometimes when you are in a pinch it can be a bit of a struggle to eat healthy. Sometimes you run out of produce when you are out and may have to settle for some packaged foods. There are some better options to reach for when you want to get a snack. There are definitely some good brands out there that I love getting for when I have a busy work day. Some of these snacks can be good for dipping in salsa or hummus, or any other dip. A lot of these snacks shown also have other flavors in that kind that are also really good to try out. I love all of the products I have tried by a brand called The Daily Crave so far. I love eating these as a snack with some hummus or you could find any other dip that may go well with this. I enjoy any sort of spread that can be eaten with this and you can also top it with some veggies as well. There are also some other really good flavors including tomato basil, barbeque, salt and vinegar, and sriracha. They have veggie, lentil, and quinoa ch
