what's up everybody Schuyler Diehm here men's lifestyle fat loss coach and today we are going
over my more recent trader joe's hauls and the reason i'm doing this so we had a previous video
where i just compared some items from trader joe's in terms of something to have pretty often not so
often and to avoid and i also recently did a costco video talking about my haul and i got
a lot of good feedback on that one so i wanted to open it up to trader joe's so we have a wide
variety of items i'm going to try to speed through it pretty effectively today i'm going to start
with the frozen stuff so i can get it back in my freezer then the refrigerated stuff so i can get
it back in my fridge and then we'll do the stuff that can be stored in the cupboard so before we
dive into it make sure that if you are interested in simplifying your health you subscribe to the
channel you like this video and you tap the bell icon to be notified when we release new videos
so the frozen items that we have are going to be pretty simple i'm a huge huge fan of trader
joe's frozen vegetables now i will say they have a lot that are clean and compliant and
i also will say they have a lot that are not very clean they have a lot of added ingredients sugars
processed cheeses all that stuff and so what we're going to be covering today is going to be
completely clean i'm in a very clean eating phase of my life and so right now this is going to be
all super super clean stuff and so with the frozen vegetables we only have i think two today so uh
number one's gonna be fire roasted bell peppers and onions so it's just peppers and onions this
is a great simple way to add in a little bit more flavor to how you're cooking without having to
chop without having to you know go from fresh and you can keep this in your freezer for months and
months and you'll be good to go next i love these mashed sweet potatoes these are basically these
cubes and this one's open because i've used it but they have these little sweet potato cubes they're
frozen you put them in with some they say water or milk i throw some butter in there and you heat
them up and you have some sweet mashed potatoes in seconds i'm a huge huge fan of sweet potatoes just
because of how nutritious they are how healthy of a carb they are and they are very very beneficial
for you so those are the veggies i have trader joe's has great broccoli has great cauliflower
and they also have a great mushroom blend which i'm a huge fan of but i don't have in my freezer
as we speak so that is that with the fruit trader joe's also has a lot of frozen fruit options what
i like to do are these organic wild blueberries incredible for gut health they're wild so they're
a little bit more nutritious as well and of course they're organic and they're frozen so they're easy
to use so i've used these in smoothies i put it in my yogurt you could do this in oatmeal you could
really do this in pretty much anything where you want fruit or you want blueberries and like i said
they're nutritious and they're pretty affordable per bag as well and then the final frozen thing
that we are working with is this organic jasmine rice now i normally get my rice fresh and i'll
cook it but this is for those nights where maybe i forget to prep a meal and i have an extra day
or two in there or maybe i'm running late and i just want to heat something up very quickly
i love these because they're in these packs you heat them up in the microwave for three minutes
and they come out perfect it's the perfect rice and then you empty the bag put on your
plate store whatever you got to do so i'm a huge fan of having fresh rice and cooking it yourself
but if you are in a pinch this is a great option to just have in the freezer for that time that
you need a quick meal okay refrigerated now we have a lot of great refrigerated stuff trader
joe's has some really really unique stuff that i love in terms of their meat this heirloom whole
chicken now i am a huge huge fan of these trader joe's just added them in the reason i'm such a
fan is because that they are pasture race i'm a huge huge fan of pastor raiders in terms of the
ethics of chickens of raising chickens making sure they have enough space they're out in nature
but also because they're probably having more of their natural diet which is the
bugs which is the nutrients from the soil whereas most chickens today are getting grains and these
grains are sprayed with pesticides and just a lot of bad stuff that you don't want your chickens to
have and so trader joe's has this for 349 a pound so i paid 12 dollars for this little guy this is
probably gonna last me like three or so meals and i'm able to use the bones to make a broth
and so the broth i can cook my rice in i can use for pasta sauce i can drink it but it's just going
to be a cool thing to have and then the giblets may be missing but if there's any liver or heart
or anything in there that's always a nice bonus as well next refrigerated item that we're going
to go through are the eggs i love trader joe's eggs because of how affordable they are these
are pasta raised which at any other store you get for six seven or even eight dollars
i believe these are like 3.99 at trader joe's they're pasta raised they also offer an organic
pasta raised which tells me that these are fed some sort of grains but they're still pasteurized
so the chickens are getting out there they're probably happier which means they're a little bit
healthier which means they're going to produce a solid egg and for the price that's something that
you really can't beat the next refrigerated item is going to be butter now if you guys watched my
costco video you know i found a grape butter at costco i also use kerrygold butter which trader
joes offers but they just released this in their brand it's new zealand and it's salted butter
and it's made with milk from grass-fed cows so whenever we want butter for the healthy butyrate
for the healthy omega-3s for basically healthy fats making sure it's nutritious in that process
we want to go grass-fed and so trader joe's added their own brand recently which is really cool and
then my next favorite refrigerated item is this yogurt i'm a huge fan of this i believe
this is like three or four dollars so it's super affordable it's organic and it's 100 grass-fed
which is what we want when we go for yogurt now ideally it would be raw so it wouldn't
be pasteurized pasteurization heats it up and kills a lot of the essential nutrients including
some of the digestive enzymes which is why so many people struggle with lactose intolerance however
it's still 100 grass-fed and it's organic which is a great great sign and it's also full fat we don't
want to go low fat full fat is proven to be more healthy it's proven to help with weight loss more
even though of course the calories are different it interacts with your body in a much better way
so i get like two bowls out of this we've got 2.5 servings but as far as ingredients not homogenized
pasteurized milk which is organic grade a we've got the cultures we've got the probiotics so super
clean i add in hemp parts i add in protein powder sometimes to get some extra protein add some honey
or date syrup which we'll get to in a second and it's a great bowl of yolk next we've got our
flaxseed meal now this is something i'll have from time to time i don't have it too often but i keep
it in my refrigerator this is basically a very healthy form of fat for ingredients we're just
looking at organic ground flax seeds but i'll make some protein balls with this so with some
oats and some almond butter and a bunch of other ingredients but that's really the only time i use
it could put it in a smoothie you could put it in yogurt but it's just good to have my refrigerator
next we have coconut aminos now we've got two of these here one is just going to be organic coconut
aminos it's a seasoning sauce and then the other which is really cool is organic coconut aminos but
it's flavored with smoky barbecue and so coconut aminos to me are great alternative to soy sauce
they taste very similar but they're a lot more nutritious and what you find a lot of soy sauce
is you're having sugars added and then there's also gluten involved which is inflammatory to the
body so with this one is just organic coconut sap water and sea salt and then the flavored one with
the smoky barbecue we have coconut sap which is organic organic garlic organic ginger sea salt and
natural smoke flavor so smoke flavor is probably not organic since it's not listed as it but it's
less than five percent of what's included in here and so i'm okay with just a little bit of
natural flavors just because i'm not using this that often and it adds to the taste and then the
final refrigerated item that we have and one of my favorites one of these hidden gems that
trader joe's has is miyoko's organic cashew milk cream cheese so it's a vegan cream cheese
the one that trader joe's offers is lox flavored so it's kind of like the fish but it doesn't have
any fish in it it's completely clean ingredients if we come over to the ingredients we've got
organic cashew milk organic coconut cream sea salt organic seaweed organic vegetable juice for color
and culture so totally clean one of my favorite things to put on our toast which we will get to
in a second i use toast top it with this and put on some everything bagel seasoning and
it's basically my healthy version of an everything bagel so super tasty hidden gem not too expensive
these tubs do go pretty fast but you're looking at i think four to six dollars for one of these
so you know it's a nice treat here and there and then i think i said the final on this but things
keep popping up in my eyesight um organic coconut smoothie now i love this you can tell it's pink
and the reason is pink is because it is not pasteurized and so what you find with a lot of
coconut beverages when they pasteurize it it kills a lot of the nutrients but it also takes away the
natural pink color of the coconut water or coconut juice or coconut milk and so with this one with
ingredients we've just got organic coconut water organic coconut so it's a great source of fat
it's delicious like after a long day or if you've had a tough workout or you're looking to rehydrate
or just taste something good this is a beautiful beautiful app okay let's move on to the good stuff
right so the first thing since we just talked about the bread is my favorite bread of all time
now it is not gluten free which a lot of people think is an issue however it uses completely
clean ingredients that are sprouted so they're sprouted grains and they're organic which means
you're not going to get the glyphosate pesticide you're not going to have the processed wheat
where they take out the nutritious part and they just give you the tasty part you're getting real
sprouted ingredients that your body can use better for nutrients and can digest better as well so
this is my favorite bread by far it took me a couple times to get used to it but i talked to a
few people and they had the same exact experience where it was weird-ish the first few times but now
it's their favorite bread as well so i'm guessing your taste buds get adapted to it since it's so
new as far as ingredients we've got everything sprouted and organic but we're looking at wheat
organic sprouted barley organic garden millet barley lentils soybeans spilt fresh yeast wheat
gluten and sea salt so again you do have the gluten but all the grains in there are sprouted
i haven't had any stomach issues with this where most other breads will gloat me and give me some
other stomach problems and this is one of those things where it's like if you're gonna have bread
make it this bread you're gonna do yourself a huge favor by doing that next we've got pasta
now i went to trader joe's with the intent to get the red lentil pasta which i reviewed in the
other video and there's a couple other things here that i mentioned in that previous video
but they were out so i found another alternative we've got yellow lentil and brown rice pasta
so it's not just lentils like the other one but you have organic yellow lentil flour and
organic brown rice flour so i'm a huge fan of upgrading pasta to something like this
a lot of those other generic pastas have a lot of gluten in them can be inflammatory or mostly carbs
whereas with the lentils you're also getting 14 grams of protein per serving and there's
six servings in here so i'm probably gonna have like three servings with this so i'm looking at
28 grams of protein with that again with that it is higher carbs 32 per serving so 64. but
you're still getting more of that protein which to me is a huge win next we've got the organic
popping corn trader joe's also has an olive oil popcorn where it's just popcorn and olive oil
but i love my butter so i pop this on my own add some grass-fed butter and some salt and it's
delicious me sticks we got two meat sticks here there are two forms of beef sticks and trader
joe's one is not flavor this one is flavor to be jalapeno and then this one is a free range turkey
stick these are free-range turkey grass-fed beef which is what we want for ingredients you don't
have anything that's not clean so grass-fed and finished beef so it's 100 grass fed water sea salt
encapsulated lactic acid jalapeno peppers cultured celery powder black pepper red pepper garlic
powder coriander stuffed into beef collagen casing so super clean ingredients these are like 1.30
per stick so pretty much every time i go there i get one and i just snack on it on the drive home
and then with the turkey stick you're just looking at free range turkey water sea salt encapsulated
lactic acid cultured celery powder black pepper red pepper garlic powder coriander stuffed in a
beef collagen casing so same thing simple snacks get a lot of protein per serving you're looking
at 9 grams of protein for the beef and 10 grams of protein for the turkey so this is a great option
to add into just some snacks throughout the day next we've got the muesli now i said this entire
video was completely clean but i'm making one exception here because they changed the recipe
guys i was getting this and the only sugar and only negative negative ingredient in here was
the uh the fruit concentrate i think it was like apple repair fruit concentrate and so i bought
this recently and i was looking at it and it looks a little bit different than how it used to
so i flipped it over we've got whole grain oats sunflower seeds raisins the raisins are coated
in sunflower oil rice crisp which is brown rice caramelized pear juice concentrate so that's that
natural form of sugar and sunflower oil pumpkin seeds coconut dried apples sliced almonds so
the fruits the raisins and the rice crisps are covered in sunflower oil which is inflammatory
which i'm not a fan of but this is something i bought and didn't realize until after so i
figured i'd include it to update anyone who may have been getting this with the clean ingredients
next another form of fantastic sugar organic date syrup date syrup is natural it's made from 100
deglet nor date with nothing added so you can use this as a syrup i put this in my yogurt i'll put
it on my homemade pancake sometimes be cautious right there's two tablespoons is 26 grams of sugar
i've used this a couple times they say you only have six servings in here but
i'm probably gonna get like 20 servings out of this because i only drizzled a little bit on it
but it is a lot of sugar but it's going to be much better for you from the processed maple syrup with
a bunch of added high fructose corn syrup and sugar it's going to be better for you than most
other sugar sources right so i'm looking at date syrup i'm looking at honey and maple syrup that's
real as my three sources of healthy sugars next we've got lightly smoked mussels now these are
a gem that i found at trader joe's you're looking at smoke muscles extra virgin olive oil and salt
each tin gives you 14 grams of protein and they're really tasty they're really really tasty if you
guys saw the costco video i do sardines from costco these are to me a tastier option than
sardines if you want you can pop open the tin and season it a little bit i don't even season them
they taste great by themselves but they're a great snack great thing to snack on they're a great
thing to add to dinner just a cool way to get a little bit more protein and fats in your diet next
we've got another one of my favorite products from trader joe's they have this cassava cauliflower
blend baking mix and so when i bake i don't like to bake with processed wheat flour i like to find
a good source of either clean carbs or a fat like an almond flour and so i love this guy so
much because it's a great option for baking that doesn't require you to use separate baking soda
so they blended it to where it's a really really cool texture i'm a huge huge fan of cassava flour
cassava flour to me the texture that you get when you bake with cassava flour is incredible
and sometimes when it's just cassava flour it can be a little too uh it's kind of like
rubbery but it's a good rubbery i don't want to say rubbery because it's that sounds like it's bad
and so what they did with this mix is they found something that is less of that texture but still
tastes delicious so we've got cassava flour fonio flour which i had to look up fono is a
west african grain very similar to rice or quinoa then we've got cauliflower powder which is awesome
vegetable right let's go baking powder so you don't have to add baking powder or baking soda
when you do this and then you've got salt and you got a bunch of recipes on the back
of this bag which is really cool you've got some directions of how to best use it and even though
it is higher carb than something like an almond flour at the same time it's going to be an awesome
swap to something like processed wheat flour and so this is always here for when i bake i do
homemade pancakes sometimes waffles sometimes i'll do a couple other things like cookies
and this is a great mixture to add into whatever you're creating next we've got some seasoning
trader joe's has a lot of awesome seasoning when you go there just look at the label make
sure there's not any added sugars make sure there's not any of these processed ingredients
i've just got two here as an example today so this one's a little bit newer from trader joe's italian
style sofrito really delicious blend and it's all clean ingredients dried minced onion tomato
flakes sea salt dried minced garlic crushed chili peppers parsley fake flakes crushed red pepper
dried rosemary and sage leaves so a lot of awesome ingredients there and then this umami seasoning is
my favorite i love it it's umami which is a mushroom you look at this it's kosher salt
dried onions ground mustard seed porcini mushroom powder white button mushroom powder crushed red
pepper black pepper dried thyme i throw this on my burgers and they are delicious with this seasoning
i'm sure you could put it on pretty much anything and it'll taste good it's a really really good
blend and i'm a huge fan of the nutritious properties of mushrooms so check that out go to
trader joe's brows in the season section there's a lot of other ones there those are just the
ones that i chose today three more things two is gonna be they're both 100 dark chocolate this is a
chocolate bar and it has cacao nibs in it so it's chocolate liqueur 93 and cacao nibs seven percent
100 cocoa is super super healthy i know chocolate gets a bad wrap but there's no sugar in this
it's completely cacao and there's a lot of antioxidant properties and a lot of benefits
from having chocolate so this is kind of one of my ways to cure a sweet tooth after dinner even
though it's more bitter than sweet my body loves it so that's one opportunity and then the other
are these cacao chips which i reviewed in the other video just cacao but they're in the chip
form so you can put them in your baking recipes i put them in my pancakes sometimes i'll just
pop a handful pop them in my mouth and snack on them a lot of cool opportunities for these
and then finally we've got these fruit balls first of all has two flavors as of now chocolate
hazelnut and then there's a peanut butter and jelly they are super high in calories high in
sugar so they shouldn't be just bought and kind of snack on they're more for like if you're gonna
go hiking or if you have some big workouts to do or if it's just every once in a while you want to
treat yourself for these you're looking at dates peanuts hazelnuts coconut raw cacao pink salt
and natural flavor peanut butter and jelly doesn't have a natural flavor in it the hazelnut one does
but i'm okay with that if i'm only having this once in a while so try these out because these
are delicious but that's my haul guys let me know in the comments if i missed anything if there's a
product that you love from trader joe's because i i know if i went in there and i bought everything
that was clean i'd have like three or four times the haul that i got today but this is just what i
usually consume this is stuff i like to keep in my apartment and it's stuff that tastes good and it's
also healthy so let me know in the comments again if you are looking to simplify the process of
