what's up your guys's Adrienne Finch welcome back to my channel and welcome
to a long awaited what I eat in a day as a dairy free gluten free egg free human
being I can't believe it's been so long since I've made one of these videos
because I never realized how many people are genuinely affected by like food
intolerances or even by preference they decide to be gluten free dairy free
especially nowadays I just feel like so many people are because you feel better
so I really have been doing a disservice to the community by not creating videos
about this because this is quite literally my life every day this is
gonna be an updated what I eat in a day I'm also gonna take you to Trader Joe's
with me so I'm gonna show you like what I buy from Trader Joe's and how much it
costs and then I'm gonna obviously show you like what I eat for certain meals so
yeah without further ado let's get into the video and by the way the Sun is like
quite literally setting as we speak so I'm sorry if the lighting is all weird
in this video here's my situation okay I don't like cooking cooking is
hard I just don't enjoy it that much I don't want really to dedicate my time
to it so I consider myself more of like a preparer
ooh I do cook at home like very frequently but I don't make these like
extravagant crazy meals I prepare things that are healthy and yeah very yummy so
that's my Styles oh but anyone can really like you're gonna like this video
duh
basically the my motto is like I find my staples and I stick to them so one thing
I like to do is I go onto Pinterest and I look up you can search literally
anything but I always search easy gluten free dairy free dinners because I feel
like with breakfast and lunch I'm more just throw things together dinner is
like definitely a meal that I want to have something a little bit more yummy
and and I don't wanna say complicated because it doesn't even take that long
to make the dinners that I make but just like really good so I always do that I
have a Pinterest board just for food and basically what I end up doing is
choosing like three ish and I just eat those all the time until I'm sick of
them so right now my three staple dinners are this like fish and
vegetables with like lemon and garlic sauce just I put it all on a pan and put
it in the oven for like eleven minutes and that's it it's so easy so there's
that I do a seafood pasta which I love o gluten-free pasta of course and what's
the other one I do hmm I can't remember we're gonna get there so yes I don't
plan or prep all my meals for the week like I said I kind of just pick my
staples and of course with Trader Joe's as well I typically shop at Trader Joe's
and I pretty much get the same things every time because I just like to snack
on and eat the same things all the time so that's what I do and then of course
when I get sick of one thing all like switch it out with something else so
typically what I do before I go to Trader Joe's is I make a list or in this
case now I'm so used to what I get that I pretty much remember and I pretty much
got the same thing every time - the dinners which I switch out so I do like
to make a list if I have new items that I need or if I just don't want to forget
anything I'm going out of town tomorrow so I didn't stock up on groceries today
but I did take you along at Trader Joe's and just awkwardly filmed in public a
lot of the like things I get so we're gonna go into Trader Joe's and I'm gonna
show you what I got
bananas for smoothies I like to get these carrots because they're a lot
cheaper to get the whole ones you can get diced onions for convenience but
they're a little bit more expensive or you can just get normal white onions for
only $0.99 mushrooms I like to get the chopped up ones for convenience but
honestly I've found that the other ones if I cut them myself they last way
longer they have a wide array of gluten free bagels which they used to not have
they only had one kind so my favorite is the everything bagel oh my gosh so good
vanilla almond milk and I get a couple because you can store them out of the
fridge and they last for a while a gluten-free is cereal tomatoes for both
my fish dinner and also for any other thing I need vegetables for like
breakfast and you can either get cherry tomatoes which I usually do just cuz
it's easier or if you want to save money again to 69 versus 29 cents for each
roma tomato pretty good deal I go to gluten free dairy free pancakes
and waffles then I splurge on this tuna salad because literally you guys it is
to die for I've gotten everyone addicted to it we got some healthy chips and some
veggie chips also healthy Trader Joe's is for sure the cheapest place you'll
find goat cheese and because I can have it I'm obsessed and then I either get
spicy hummus or cilantro jalapeno hummus so good to dip crackers gluten free
crackers or carrots into this frozen seafood blend for the pasta that I like
to make and then any type of fish I get tilapia it's super cheap and this
microwavable brown rice for like taco balls turkey ball and a sauce it's
amazing then we have this potato and onions and being kind of frozen
breakfast thing and finally a soy chorizo so yep those are really my
staples that I pretty much get every time of course sometimes I like won't
feel like having hummus so I won't get hummus or I won't feel like having goat
cheese I feel like I was eating way too much goat cheese for a while and I felt
like I was gaining weight because I could literally just eat like a log of
goat cheese at a time so I stopped getting it for a little bit and then I
started again because now I miss it but you know that's pretty much like those
are my stables unless I switch some things out and it's pretty affordable
honestly I'm like that feeds me for a while a lot of other stores when they
have dairy for your gluten-free substitute they're very expensive and
that was something I worried about when I first figured out about my allergies I
was worried I would just have to constantly pay more like at Whole Foods
or whatever else just because I have an allergy and I was
pretty upset I mean I do often times when I go out I have to pay like extra
for gluten-free bread but honestly it's okay worth not going you know I also
just feel like the quality of the food there is really good they have so many
like unique dishes there they have like a lot of unique prepared food and a lot
of unique and amazingly tasty like frozen meals that you can even add
things into and that's what I do a lot as you'll see is kind of take their
frozen things and just put my own stuff in it so that it's really quick and easy
but it tastes so good and I just feel like other grocery stores really lack
those types of options especially in the freezer aisle it's very much like Marie
Callender's little heat up meals which nothing against that but I never can eat
any of those because they're usually dairy or gluten so I usually spend
honestly about 75 to $100 a week on food which I feel like it's pretty good
especially considering my allergies of course there are like some meals that
I'll eat out I try to do as many as I can in my house but of course like when
I want to socialize with friends or when I'm just like sick of what I'm eating
then I will go out okay so let's start with a breakfast I
typically now workout in the morning so I try to have a super super super light
breakfast before working out and then I have like almost a brunch slash like
bigger breakfast lunch after working out so often what I'll just have before
working out is literally a glutton for you awful or pancake I get these from
Trader Joe's both the pancakes and the waffles and I just pop them right into
the toaster usually I only have one so I don't want to get super bold for my
workout if I'm not working out one day then I'll definitely eat like two or
three sometimes I'll also do an oatmeal packet which I mean it has a lot of
sugar probably but and technically I'm allergic to oak but I'm only like a tiny
bit intolerant so every now and then I'll have some oatmeal and it's fine or
I'll make a smoothie for some reason lately I really haven't been feeling
smoothies that I make I don't know why like I used to make them all the time
now I'm just not feeling it but if I do make a smoothie this is kind of what it
looks like I use almond milk I use protein powder to make sure I am getting
some protein and sometimes I even put a spoonful of peanut butter in it and then
I basically just use frozen fruit which I get from Trader Joe's raspberries
blueberries mangos basically anything and typically I would put a banana in
but again since I'm going out of town I didn't have any bananas but yeah so
basically smoothie oatmeal gluten free waffles those are like my go-to
breakfast items another field I really love to make sometimes for my like
second breakfast slash post-workout slash lunch is this Trader Joe's soy
chorizo it tastes so good so so so good and it's completely
meatless gluten free dairy free and then also this little frozen packet of
potatoes and mushrooms and onions and things like that I just throw those
together and it's like this amazing little breakfast that took me literally
five minutes to just put in a pan sometimes I'm even too lazy to get out a
pan which is honestly just really sad but it when I'm not too lazy this is
such an awesome meal and I usually top it off with avocado and hot sauce or
something of the sort oh I forgot to mention that when I make coffee which is
typically after my workout I either use the coconut creamer from Trader Joe's or
if I'm going to rouse or something I get one of my favorite creamers which is the
silk almond vanilla creamer so I really like that so lunch time lunch is usually
just typically when I'm hungry next which honestly varies every day
sometimes I eat it really awkward times like 3 p.m. it's per lunch I usually
throw together either breakfast food again or what I just mentioned with the
potatoes in the story tree so or sometimes I'll make like tacos or a talk
a bowl but another thing that I got are these Buffalo bites from this place
called Calif lower basically there's this restaurant and that's only for
delivery that is here in LA it is literally the most bomb they're known
for their cauliflower pizza which I'll talk about for the dinner portion cuz I
got it recently and I'm obsessed so I need to tell you about it and you can
probably recreate your own as well but for the lunch portion one of my favorite
things on their menu is the Buffalo cauliflower bite oh my god Buffalo
anything is so good to me and this is just incredible like you feel like
you're eating this extravagant gourmet amazingly tasty meal and it's literally
cauliflower with buffalo sauce it's so just so good so I have that another
go-to of mine is gluten-free bagels bagels at Trader Joe's I love that
everything bagels they're my favorite I actually put this in my last one I eat
in a day video because I've been eating it for that long but I love to put
hummus or avocado tomato onions smoked salmon or lox is my favorite it tastes
so so good and then I love putting the everything but the bagel
seasoning which is pretty much just like what they put on an everything bagel but
in seasoning form it's amazing so I love doing that for lunch as I mentioned
briefly I also love love love making tacos or a taco bowl with that soy tree
so I usually just throw in like avocado diced tomato sometimes diced jalapenos
sometimes like black beans and microwavable brown rice this is all
stuff from Trader Joe's that I can literally just throw in there I found
the best recipe for a dairy-free chipotle aioli cuz I'm obsessed with
chipotle aioli and I tried this just kind of for shits and giggles and it was
so good you guys I'm not even kidding it tasted exactly like chipotle aioli and
it was like healthy and it takes like two seconds to make and you know me I
don't like cooking I'm prepared I am a preparer so here's another thing you get
to prepare and then for dinners I will say follow me on Instagram if you want
to see like a lot more dinner options sometimes I put that on my story what
I'm cooking one of my favorite favorite like go-to things lately has been the
pizza the cauliflower pizza from Cali flower I cannot explain to you how hard
it is to find good gluten-free crust for pizza I'm sure if you guys are
gluten-free you can relate the cauliflower crust from Trader Joe's not
good the broccoli and kale one is okay but this called flour crust from this
place I genuinely don't know how they do it it is so good it's like not soggy at
all it's not a weird texture it's like crispy and amazing and I love it so I
got the pizza that was called the farmers bounty I think and I got it
customizable so I basically added turkey pepperoni the one thing I would say is
next time I get it I'm gonna get either no vegan cheese or just a really light
spread I realized like this is not even on them they definitely have the best
tasting vegan cheese that I've ever had other than that like oh my god this is
so incredibly amazing and if you guys live in the LA area you can get delivery
and also if you follow them on Instagram they are giving away one Pizza a day for
the next seven days to people who have followed from this video so go do that
why not get a free pizza it's active also they are gonna be opening a lot
more locations so if you aren't in LA I'm so sorry but they will be expanding
so I'll try to find out where they're expanding to so that you guys know and
you can probably try to recreate this pizza as well but you won't find there
good it is I'm just going to say that and then as I mentioned I'd love to make
my shrimp pasta I didn't film myself making this because I went out of town
but I will leave the recipe down below
moving on to snacks what are my dairy free gluten free snacks I will say one
thing chips and like crackers you'd be surprised how many really are gluten
free chips are very often corn or potato and I remember when I first found out I
was like oh my god I can never eat chips but like it's not true so I first of all
him like a sucker for Saul vinegar chips I also really like these black sea chips
from Trader Joe's because they're a little bit healthier and I can dip them
into hummus I can dip them into guac salsa anything I can even put it in like
goat cheese I also really like these veggie sticks they're just like very
healthy and delicious I always love a good like pickle anything with hummus
pretty much okay so that was information overload and I apologize but I hope this
was helpful that is like what I've been eating lately in a day in terms of going
out to restaurants I definitely have gotten used to what I can and can't have
I'm pretty much fine modifying anything at any restaurant the only restaurants
that are just more tricky for me are Italian restaurant anything Asian or
like sushi is very gluten dairy free super like good for me I also just found
out that ramen places oftentimes have gluten-free noodles
I thought forever that I couldn't eat ramen but newsflash I can and it's
really good so ramen I really love veggie grill I like tender greens I like
sweet green I like all these places tokaiya organic ax there are so many
good places those are like LA staples so I don't know if you guys have those in
your neck of the woods but yeah that is what I have been eating in a day dairy
free gluten free unposted it you guys enjoyed it let me know any more
suggestions for like food related topics or health or working out or anything
like that cuz I am totally happy to do more stuff like that thank you for being
here I love you so much and I'll see you in my next video bye
