Trader Joe’s health finds
Trader Joe’s has actually been killing it in the clean eating department lately! I’ve been noticing that all the products I have been picking up from Whole Foods or my local health food store, Erewhon, have been appearing at trader joe’s for a fraction of the price! For a while I found I wasn’t able to find snacks free of processed ingredients or GMO oils, but good ol’ Traders has been stepping up there game, and I want to share all the best clean eats from our favorite neighborhood grocery store
•Gluten Free Norwegian Crisp bread- packed with seeds, oats, and the perfect base for avocado and everything but the bagel seasoning! (Also found out our beloved Traders)
•Sauerkraut -Fermented foods boost the good bacteria in our gut and aids in healthy digestion
•Wild Salmon-Traders has amazing wild salmon, when often I wasn’t able to even find salmon that wasn’t farmed at other shops
•Cassava tortilla chips-grain free and absolutely delicious with hummus or guac
