Good morning boys and girls! Hope everyone’s Tuesday is going splendidly. Yesterday was my first Monday at work, and I gotta say it wasn’t all that bad. Dare I say, I think I may even enjoy Mondays because it seems like they are a little more laid back than the others days I’ve experienced so far, but only time will tell.
In my efforts to devise a system of eating basically all my meals, but breakfast , away from home two days a week, I picked up some new thangs at the supermarket to try out. So far, so good!
I finally got my hands on the new Chobani flavors. I’ve only tried Blood Orange so far, and I think it’s safe to say its the best flavored Greek yogurt I’ve tried, to date. I still have Apple Cinnamon and Passion Fruit waiting for me in the fridge, so this may statement might change very soon.
The supermarket in PA was majorly lacking in the granola/protein bar section. I really wanted some more Cliff Z Bars, but since they didn’t have them, I settled for these. I’m usually not a fan of whole peanuts in bars, but this combined with the chocolate is actually pretty darn tasty.
I’ve tried just about every flavor of hummus out there and I can say the Spinach and Artichoke is the best one out there. I pack some in my tiniest container and snack on carrots with hummus in the afternoon.
After our New Year’s trip to the Poconos, I’ve fallen in love with Oatnut bread. It a tiny, tiny bit on the sweet side, but not too sweet to make a turkey, cheese and spinach sandwich, which is what I’ve been doing. I haven’t eaten sandwiches for lunch since freshman year of high school, but so far I’ve looked forward to my sandwich everyday.
I can also happily report that my new bottle has passed the test. I refilled it about 3 times at work and twice and school which means that I drank well over 100 ounces of water. Not too shabby. The only thing I am disappointed about is that they actually come in pretty colors like purple and green (my two favs), but the supermarket only had the blue ones. Yea, I’m that girl.
I forgot to add these bad boys in the original post, but they are too good to not share! The Better Chip chips are made with all natural ingredients, non GMO corn, 40% of each chip is made of fresh veggies which gives the chip its flavor and instead of piling on artificial flavors, they only season with real spices.. They were giving out samples of these chips with hummus at the supermarket and as soon as I tried them I knew I had to buy them. They have a nice kick to em too.
Since today is my shorter day at work and I only have my online class in the evening, I’m planning on doing some cooking tonight. Stay tuned for a yummy (figers-crossed) recipe coming your way manana!
Have a great Tuesday!
Do you usually pack your meals for school/work or buy? What’s your last great supermarket find?
Right now we are lucky enough to get to come home for lunch! That's going to come to an end soon, I think. But I'm definitely enjoying it. Otherwise I would definitely pack. I'm a picky eater, and not made of money. Haha. I like to save my grocery money for baking supplies. AND SABRA HUMMUS!! I love the garlic kind the best!
I'm so jealous! Being able to come home for lunch makes it a meal, whereas at work I feel like I'm rushing through my food to get back to work. Buying lunch everyday is soo expensive! I like to save money for fun stuff too, plus I'm pretty sure I can make better lunches than half the places around my job.
I love the Apple Cinnamon Chobani! It's really good! 🙂 I wish I could drink that much water a day! I really need to start doing it though. I don't drink nearly enough throughout the day. I always pack my lunch for work.
I've always drank a lot of water, I picked up the habit a long time ago and its always stuck. I used to buy lunch all the time when I worked at my last job, but I've been packing it everyday so far and I love it!
