everyone and welcome back to my channel today's video is going to be a trader
juice haul we took a drive at this weekend we don't have one in Canada so
the drivers about an hour and a half to the border to Buffalo New York where
they have a Trader Joe's it was super fun also went to Whole Foods I'm gonna
share a couple of random things that I haven't seen before erm I'm excited to
try versus old favorites cuz I want to include those too so the first things
new Trader Joe's which is a repurchase and the ones that I love are these
gluten-free crispbreads you guys have seen me use these many times they're
great because not only are they gluten free but the net carbs there's only
three net carbs on them and you can use this for avocado toast for nut butters
for virtually anything it's basically a large dry cracker that you can put some
on for a great snack also picked up three of the everything but the bago
sesame seasoning blend these are delicious
I also plan on giving one away to a friend or like I got one for a friend so
these are super delicious I put this stuff on everything and I find that if
you try to make it yourself somehow it just doesn't taste the same the ratio I
don't know there's something about this one that's just so cos I picked up three
then by the cash register there's just this real mistletoe which I thought was
fun I'm gonna hang this somewhere in my house but I thought it was really cute
this is real miss stuff next up are these chomps grass-fed beef sticks so
they're kind of like a healthier version of a beef jerky which I never eat but
these are good because it's the man grams of protein for one stick and mic
hundred calories not that I can't calories but just so you know and it's
grass-fed which is important it's paleo whole thirty gluten free no weird stuff
in it so I got a couple of the originals and then the turkey so the turkeys like
the non be for the free-range so I highly recommend I did try one while I
was there and it was delicious like after I bought it on the car ride home
so good so I would highly recommend and they were really inexpensive too
honestly they're probably two dollars or less I think us um really delicious to
have them next up I picked up a couple bottles of the Coca
he knows this was on sale for $2.99 and I pay like I hold foods in Canada here
for one bottle 10 or 11 dollars so I picked up two of those this stuff is
great on anything it's stir Fry's meats veggies cauliflower rice basically like
a healthier soy sauce made with coconut aminos and coconut aminos have a na
stall which is really great for balancing your blood sugar and your
hormones and especially good if you have PCOS so now I will say there aren't a
lot of things at Trader Joe's that are like they're healthy but when I look at
the ingredients I wasn't like a fan of them or they weren't but I like to say
it live approved and also keep in mind you're not supposed to bring fruits and
vegetables over the border and I didn't feel like getting stopped or having
those get confiscated so a lot of the friends and things I didn't bring it
back because I didn't want to get stopped I did discover this new I guess
protein bars an Energy Pro 2 bar I've never seen it before
I think ingredients are very clean they it's peanuts pea protein cocoa water and
salt so I got one of my favorite flavors of our X bar and that is the maple sea
salt I don't know why it's my favorite maybe see in our Canadian me because
it's maple um I love the slavers it's definitely my favorite out of our also
picked up some unsweetened almond cashew and macadamia nut milk which actually
looked really good in exam refrigerator which was nice as well you just put it
in the fridge after you open it I really do like macadamia milk for making lattes
I probably would have put like macadamia milk in like a smoothie or something cuz
I feel like you'd lose the taste and it's not really worth it um but this I
feel like it's just gonna be really good in a lot of taste wait if you haven't
watched it yet I'm nearly obsessed with this peppermint matcha latte for the
holidays basically you take mascha you add mint and it's delicious I love
peppermint everything over the holidays there's also water it was really sad
fella the peppermint pretzels and things like that weren't gluten free or they
had weird ingredients in Trader Joe's so even though Trader Joe's is like a
healthier grocery store be sure to read your labels these I was so excited for
and these are the roasted and salted truffle marcona almonds I love anything
that's trouble truffle and me just I can never have
enough truffle so I'm excited for these hope they're he's so now I'm going to
talk about the few at Whole Foods that I thought were new
or basically I'm gonna call this the new noteworthy person um so things that I
think you should try or that I'm excited to try it got my hands on and that are
also really good just healthy staples that I definitely can't get in Canada so
it was nice for me to be able to get them there first off I saw these while
walking on the island I was like cool are you kidding me these are the sea
salt and vinegar chicken chips yes they're made from chicken I mean they
were really good it's chicken and tapioca there are seven grams of protein
per serving it's made with all-natural chicken
that's antibiotic free and the ingredients were good but I thought it
was just so interesting they taste good chicken tip so um look for these in like
the snack out but they were really good another thing that we kind of dove into
on the way home um where these any uh terrific chips clip off but are these
grain free paleo puffs I just bought the plain pink Himalayan salt first of all I
will say I you know you open a bag and like there's chips only like I'm sure
down there's like nothing you open it and it was like full to the top so props
to them on that um my marriages grain free they're made with Kasaba coconut
oil tapioca coconut flour sweet potato flour and salt so they're all very clean
and when you want something that's just a nice crunch I think these would be
very good and they also weren't super expensive
they were definitely less than four dollars yeah I think these would be
really good back something that's grain free and paleo something else I wanted
to mention are these wholesome candy canes
partly because I feel like I'm gonna get a lot of questions about like what candy
canes I'm using like this season in all my recipes and I only use these
wholesome ones so that they're you I'm from Whole Foods and that's because they
don't have any high fructose corn syrup they're gluten free no synthetic colors
they're vegan they're kosher they're nut free so the color in these actually
comes from fruit juice even though they don't taste fruity at all they just
taste it good normal candy cane um but I really just like that they're made with
better ingredients um so it's definitely like a package of these depending on how
much baking I do won't like last a while so through your candy cane lover I would
highly suggest these holes or months alright another something of notes now
feel like I get this question a lot and not
whether I like eat junk food and I don't eat junk doing the Cosenza like I won't
go to McDonald's or eat Doritos but I eat sometimes more like junky food
that's made for better ingredients this is a great example of that these are the
kettle brand of potato chips now the reason either these stuck out to me is
because they're cooked in a hundred percent almond oil I usually get the
ones from cattle that are cooked in avocado oil which is great I'm but I've
never seen almond oil so I definitely want to pick those up because I don't
think we have them in Canada and you don't want your chips or anything to P
cook in like a canola oil or anything like that so it's important to look for
avocado or almond oil so these will be good music they only have one flavor
which is what smoked sea salt which so another thing I want to mention is this
birch benders paleo pancake mix this is very very good and it's a lot more
inexpensive than the other paleo mixes it's $5 or less versus some of the other
ones or eleven or twelve dollars with basically half the price you just add
water so you don't need like eggs or anything else like that
okay another mention I wanted to do was Hugh chuckling so this is the brand I
first discovered these back in New York Rachael L Mansfield was talking about it
all the time so I went to New York I think I have to try it my favorite one
is the cashew butter with vanilla bean then I also wanted to get a crunchy mint
it is very hard to find chocolate that doesn't have soy in it or any kind of
weird things especially soy a lot of mess way lesson so this has no soy
lecithin no dairy no refined sugar no palm oil no cane sugar no massa fires no
sugar alcohol and no vanilla extract which I mean is an issue people this one
who does happen a lot I'm for this man that's it
so if you want a really good clean chocolate I would go for you kitchen and
I did get this on sale at Whole Foods about 399 a bar which is so good because
normally like I said all those Canadian sites to get the gear I can't look $8
apart and just a few more bars to show you I did get the chocolate chip cookie
dough collagen bar from bulletproof which I love the raw red glow bar and
creamy peanut butter and sea salt so only 2 grams of sugar for the whole bar
14 grams of protein and a festive rx bar and lastly are just some of these brain
octane oil little travel packets so you guys know how much I love brain octane
and we can't get these little travel ones here in Canada but I thought this
would be really good for traveling I am going away from my birthday this year so
I'm gonna bring these so that I can have my bullet proof because honestly I think
I just I even prefer the taste of bullet proof now I just can't not have my belt
in the morning so I hope you guys enjoyed this video if you did don't
