- Went a little bit overboard, Trader Joe's.
(dynamic music)
Oh, this is hot.
I didn't realize I got spicy.
Uh oh.
♪ I get my peaches down in Georgia mm, mm, mm ♪
Hey everyone, welcome back to my channel.
My name's Nikole.
And we are on location,
which doesn't happen very often these days.
We are actually in Orlando, Florida.
It's very hot.
And we have relocated here for a short family vacation.
I got Sagey here, she's keeping me company.
Hi Sagey.
Got your toys?
You got your toys?
Okay.
So we're gonna try to film
a really quick Trader Joe's haul.
We're gonna be staying at this Airbnb
for about just over a week.
So we stocked up 'cause we are planning on
cooking some homemade meals here.
So we're not just eating out all the time.
So I'm really excited.
I have not been to, oh Sagey.
I also just have to be really quick
'cause Sage is about to lose her (beeps).
I have not been to a Trader Joe's
since before I was pregnant.
It's been a while.
So I was very excited.
We got some of our favorites, as well as some new things.
And this is a grocery haul for both ourselves,
like myself and Matt, who is my camera man right now,
who is doing a great job, Matt.
And Sagey, of course.
She's eating like three meals a day,
so we need to feed the whole familia.
Okay, so first off, we have some organic apples.
I'm gonna be making some applesauce for Sage.
It's so easy.
But apples are just great to snack on
with like nut butter or something.
I have some cage free organic eggs.
Ooh.
And Sage is now eating eggs as well.
So the whole family can enjoy that.
And I also have some...
♪ I get my peaches down in Georgia, mm, mm, mm ♪
Chloe's gonna laugh at me for that.
These are Georgia peaches.
They smell so good.
I've already eaten some.
We had some this morning in our oatmeal.
Sage had some peach for the first time.
And they're delicious.
So we have a bunch of those.
I also here, I have some nondairy oat milk.
Now you have to look at the ingredients
because this one here is just water and oats.
And some of them had a whole list of ingredients.
So I even gave this to Sage.
And I haven't tried it just as is,
but I just like how simple the ingredient list is.
Okay, next up we have some of our favorite cheese,
the Unexpected Cheddar Cheese.
It's the best.
It even says, it tastes like an aged premium cheese.
It tastes like expensive, delicious cheese,
but it's super cheap.
Then we also have some pico de gallo, oh, this is hot.
I didn't realize I got spicy.
Uh oh.
Uh oh, maybe it's not that spicy.
It just has jalapenos.
Okay, we'll see how that goes.
I have a couple of dinners planned for us,
but we're just gonna kind of see how we go,
and we may have to like pick up stuff
throughout the week, but.
I got some beans.
I got two cans of beans
'cause I'm also gonna feed Sage some beans this trip.
I got organic black beans,
organic white beans, or white kidney beans.
So the black beans are good for on to do with like rice,
and ground beef, like a taco bowl.
I got some organic old fashioned rolled oats.
That's what we had this morning already.
We've had some of these things already.
I just like put them back in the bags
'cause I thought it was cute.
But we had oatmeal this morning.
We had oh, some organic cinnamon.
So I didn't wanna go crazy on the spices.
So I just got some basics.
Cinnamon you can use on a lot of things, on sweet potato.
You can put it of course in oatmeal and smoothies.
We got some crackers, these sweet potato crackers.
I've had these before, they're really good.
And then I love these, little peanut butter mini sandwiches.
Mm, I ate those a lot when I was pregnant.
I'm not pregnant, but I eat them a lot now, too.
They're so good.
These we've already dug into,
they're the truffle Marcona almonds.
The only thing about these,
I don't remember last time them being so salty.
I feel like I have to shake off
some of the salt before I eat them.
They're crazy salty.
So yeah, just be mindful
if you don't like super salty things.
They are salty.
Got, oh three of the everything bagel seasoning,
because I'ma bring some of this back to homeland,
which is Canada.
So good.
I'm bringing some for my friends and my fam.
And then obviously just, we can use some here,
like avocado toast, you can put it on eggs.
It's delicious.
I have, I didn't wanna get too many like oils and sauces.
So I just got avocado oil spray.
It's pretty all-purpose.
I got some organic ginger, mostly for smoothies.
I got organic grass fed ground beef,
which I'm actually just gonna put in the fridge.
But we already cooked up one of these last night
and this was so good.
And Sage actually just had it for lunch as well.
Beef for the first time and she enjoyed it.
So yeah, it's very tasty, highly recommend.
Okay, and can we just talk about this kitchen?
It's huge, I love it.
And I kind of wanna move in.
We're like really enjoying this Airbnb.
Okay, then we got some snackies.
I love these Perfect Bars.
My favorite flavor is a dark chocolate chip peanut butter.
It tastes like cookie dough with peanut butter.
It's really good.
We gotta multitask here.
Yeah, you want Mommy.
Okay, that's okay.
You wanna help Mom?
Okay, what else is in here?
Matt got some, just 100% Colombian instant coffee,
The good stuff.
And then I got some of their liquid Stevia, which I like,
and I get this back at home too.
I had to order it off of Amazon
since we've been in lockdown.
So it's nice to have one that doesn't cost like $30, online.
We got some hummus.
Okay, this I was not a fan of.
We'll see how it tastes.
Matt wanted it.
It's the dill pickle hummus.
We'll see.
And then we got regular or no,
this one is Kalamata olive hummus, which I'm down with.
I love my olives.
You haven't had hummus yet.
Matt got some apple smoked bacon.
This one's really good, we've had it before.
We got bananas.
This girl eats a lot of bananas.
We got sweet potato, organic.
They just taste way better than the conventional ones.
I don't know if it's just in my head,
but they're really sweet and delicious.
So I'm gonna roast those up.
Those are great for Sagey.
And also for us just to have,
even for breakfast on the side with eggs.
Now, like I said, I didn't wanna get a lot of sauces.
So I got some, I got one dressing,
the spicy cashew butter dressing.
This one looked like it had simple ingredients.
The one I wanted was the green goddess one,
but they were sold out.
That one's really good, I've had it before.
I got, this is hard with one hand.
I got some limes.
Oh my god.
And there's a ton of avocados in here
because we eat avocados.
I'm gonna do, we're gonna have taco night.
Sage eats a lot of avocado, it's great for her.
Hey, there's more in there,
but I'm not gonna take them all out.
Over here, I don't even know what Matt got.
Quinoa and black bean tortilla chips.
We've had these before actually.
They have a nice crunch.
Jalapeno seasoned corn and rice puffs.
Those look good.
We have organic uncured turkey jerky.
Matt is jerky obsessed.
- [Matt] It wasn't my favorite.
- Oh you don't, okay.
- I tried it and... - Okay.
- Eh. - Eh.
They didn't have the hard corn shell ones.
So we got the organic blue corn
and wheat tortillas, so those looked fun.
And then, once again to save on buying a bunch of spices,
I just got their taco seasoning mix,
which I've had this before, and there is nothing.
There's a little bit of cane sugar added to it.
She's holding both the hummus'.
But it's pretty good.
All right, and then in this one,
then we have some hemp hearts.
It looks like we got a lot,
but it's 'cause we are gonna plan to make
two meals at home and then only eat out once a day.
So hemp hearts are great and Sage eats them as well.
And you can put them on anything,
they just add some extra healthy fats,
and fiber, and proteins.
And I got some organic baby kale.
I'm planning on making green smoothies.
I never feel fully at home or in my routine
if I don't have a smoothie.
And since eating smoothies out is never as healthy as home,
I find, unless it's like $20 a smoothie.
Okay, okay whatever.
I'm gonna get people like, you shouldn't let her eat that.
Hey, just building up her immunity.
Organic spring mix.
So that's super easy just to toss,
like make a salad in two seconds.
I also got some ground flax seed.
I added this to our oatmeal this morning.
You can also add it to smoothies.
What else is in here?
Organic baby spinach, again for smoothies.
I got some organic crunchy peanut butter.
Sage, you're touching everything.
Oh no, not the eggs.
Okay, so we actually, last night we made,
I'm gonna say it wrong, gnocchi, the cauliflower gnocchi.
I don't know, is that right?
With the marinara sauce.
The only thing I don't like about this one,
it tastes really good, and it's really affordable,
but it does have soybean oil in it.
But otherwise, it's delicious.
So like I'd still buy this again and I've had it before.
So we had this with the grass fed ground beef, the gnocchi.
And then we did like one of their corn kale salads.
I'll put a clip of what it was before we ate it.
And it was really delicious, I've eaten that one before.
And then two cucumbers for smoothies.
Okay, there is some stuff in the freezer.
So we're gonna get that.
All right, for freezer stuff.
We just put Sage in her play gym thing.
See how long she lasts in there.
So, I got a few different things for smoothies,
but also for Sage, and just like to make dinners and stuff.
I got some organic mixed berries.
Some organic, no, these are just regular mango chunks.
I don't buy everything organic.
I try to do like the dirty dozen clean 15 style.
And then I got two things of organic berries,
because you can add this to smoothies,
but I can also just thaw it, puree it,
or add it into like Sage's oatmeal or something.
So it's like for both of us.
For both, it's for all of us, there's three.
Matt got these, chipotle vegetable quesadillas.
Those look good.
Now normally I don't buy pre-made rice,
but we are technically on a family vacation,
even though we're still working here.
I just wanted something easier.
This is just organic brown rice.
You can do it in the microwave,
but I like that you can do it stove top as well.
'Cause I usually don't use a microwave.
So yeah, it's just brown rice, organic.
Sage hasn't had rice yet,
so I can blend this up into something,
but also we can just make like more of a burrito bowl style.
I'm just trying to like use leftovers from like our tacos
to make a second meal as well.
Something in bowls.
Okay then I got channa masala.
It's like kinda like a chickpea curry.
I've had this before, it's really good.
So I can have this with the rice.
I didn't get any naan.
And then you can do the side spring mix salad with it,
and then you have a meal.
So like I'm always trying to think of
just ways to combine different things
so we can like repurpose leftovers.
Then this is just an organic tropical fruit blend.
Smoothies, or I thought this would be
really delicious for Sage, just blend it up.
And what you can also do is just like sneak in some greens.
You could do baby kale or spinach in here,
blend it up, and then they're getting
some healthy greens, and iron, and stuff,
but also the yummy fruit, so.
I've been having a lot of fun making Sage's meals.
I'm not gonna lie.
Okay, I got two bags of this, but we ate one last night,
the cauliflower gnocchi.
Oh, it's so good.
You have to make it right.
Don't add the water to it, like the package says.
You just saute it on a pan, dry.
With like I put a little bit of the avocado oil.
You don't want it too gummy and wet.
So just cook it from frozen, and that's how I make it.
It's really good.
If you wanna see like a full what I eat in a day
while we're in Florida, leave me a comment down below,
and give this video a thumbs up so I know.
And I can definitely do that for you guys,
and show you some of the meals that we're gonna be doing
to give you guys ideas at home,
or for when you're traveling as a family, or by yourselves.
I also got some organic broccoli florets.
I'm just gonna steam these for Sage.
She's having way too much fun over there.
And then last but not least some organic peas.
So a lot of times the frozen options
are cheaper than the fresh.
So these were both cheaper frozen than fresh.
And since I'm just steaming them
and blending them mostly anyways, it doesn't matter.
So, and even like, this is really good
if you're gonna use for stir fries and stuff.
You don't always have to buy the fresh.
And a lot of times frozen tastes better,
depending on like what it is.
Like fruits, it's always nice, and ripe, and sweet.
And sometimes when you buy it fresh it just is a gamble.
(Sage yelling)
But you know, here,
the fruit's been really good lately.
All right, that is everything we picked up.
I'm actually gonna make a quick smoothie for us
before we head out.
So I'm actually gonna use some of the things I purchased
for our next little snack.
So thank you so much for watching.
As I mentioned, don't forget to give this video
a thumbs up if you liked it.
Sorry if the quality,
or the audio is a little bit different,
we're just working Matt and I here.
And I just wanted to film a little Trader Joe's haul.
So thank you so much for watching.
And leave me a comment down below
if there's something that we need to try while we're here.
And I don't know when this is going up, but yeah.
Thank you for watching.
Subscribe.
And I will see you guys in my next video.
Bye guys.
Matt is the best, helping me for my videos.
Put the groceries away.
Helping me make a quick smoothie.
- Is that frozen. - Uh, yeah.
Sage is watching "Cocomelon."
Everybody happy.
Yeah.
