4 Things I’ve Bought Recently I’m Excited to Eat

One of the best parts of my week is undoubtedly going food shopping. Food is a huge part of my life, and getting to shop for food is so much fun to me. Every week I try to find a new thing to eat, and today I thought I’d share some things I’ve been excited about buying and trying recently.

Siggi’s vanilla cinnamon yogurt – at about $2 a container, I consider this a luxury purchase! I get psyched when it’s on sale and I love the vanilla cinnamon. I used to be able to find an orange ginger flavor – anyone ever seen that one?! This yogurt isn’t new to me, but it’s not something I get often so I was excited to have a coupon for it.

Add fruit to this with or without whole grain cereal/granola, use it as a mix in overnight oats, or even spread it on toast and top with banana!

Chocolate strawberry cheerios – OK, another cheat I guess because this isn’t new to me either! But this flavor is seasonal for Valentine’s day I think so I haven’t seen it in quite a while. I always find it at Aldi! I love it as a snack right out of the box or as actual cereal with milk as a pre-workout. Cereal is my go-to pre-workout!

Slice a banana on top (banana, strawberry and chocolate sounds like a banana split to me!) or sprinkle on vanilla ice cream.

Goldfish crisps – I got sour cream & onion and cheddar. I love regular gold fish and I won’t lie I’ve already tried the cheddar crisps. They don’t taste like regular goldfish at all but I live how airy they are! They are super cheesy without having weird ingredients. I do try to avoid MSG which I’ve seen in lots of cheddar snacks lately!

Make these part of a snack plate with a protein + vegetable. I’d have these alongside veggie sticks and ranch, or alongside a low-fat string cheese with some grapes!

Creamy honey peanut butter – I am a creamy peanut butter girl through and through. I love drizzling honey on my peanut butter toast so when I saw this I got excited because, less work for me! This I got from Wegmans, but I think Skippy has a honey variety also.

This can be used in so many ways – spread, spooned or topped!

This is your reminder that “processed” foods can have a healthy place in your diet. A diet made entirely of foods that are processed isn’t great for your health and a diet made of all whole foods is bound to get boring, causing you to crave things that are “off limits” and go bonkers on them.

Creating a healthy balance of the two is where the magic happens! Eating should be fun and satisfying and there is no reason to write off these foods as bad or unhealthy.
