Whole Foods Finds – Part 2

Ahhh another $50 gone, another installment of Whole Foods Finds.

Missed Whole Foods Finds – Part 1? Find it here.

Today’s finds include literally 3 of my favorite things to ever come out of Whole Foods. I’m a bit of a snacker, but like to try to keep it healthy(ish). I love a good salty/sweet flavor combination and these definitely fit the bill.

Gluten-Free Yogurt Covered Pretzels

One of my all-time favorite edible items in this world are Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Covered Pretzel Slims. I genuinely do not think anything tastes better. They’ve nailed the salty/sweet combination, and I’ve been known to empty a bag in the time it takes me to watch the latest episode of Glee.

Then I went Gluten-Free.

Meh. I thought my days of savory/sweet snacking were long gone.

Then boyfriend surprised me with these perfect little yogurt-covered pretzels. Salty. Sweet. GLUTEN FREE. I’ve never been happier. These taste exactly as if they were full of Gluten, and I cannot get enough of them.

Blueberry Blaze Trail Mix

Another salty/sweet combination, who would have thought? Trail Mix is another favorite snack item of mine, and I’ve tried more combinations that I care to admit to.

Then came along Blueberry Blaze – dried blueberries, peanuts, almonds, cashews, white chocolate chunks, tart cranberries and raisins.

Why is everything better with White Chocolate? I don’t ask questions.

Lemon Ginger Juice

When I was on my Juice Cleanse (those long 72 hours feel so far away now), my favorite juice of the day was the Lemon-Aid. It was made with water, lemon, ginger, agave and cayenne.

This juice encompasses all of the above (minus the Cayenne) and is just as tasty. The company also has several other flavors (I’ve tried the Ginger Apple) and you can check them out here.

Any favorite food (Whole Foods or otherwise) finds this week?

Whole Foods Finds – Part 1

Is it just me, or do you always find something “ohmygod so cool, I need this, I don’t care if it costs me a whole paycheck” whenever you walk into Whole Foods?

This happens to me about 7-8 times per shopping trip. It honestly seems like they are always stocking something new, healthy, and ridiculously delicious for me to spend $17 on.

And I do. Eagerly.

I know Whole Foods across the country stock different items (depending on where you live) but I thought it would be fun to start a “Whole Foods Finds” series, of the “ohmygod so cool, I need this, I don’t care if it costs me a whole paycheck” items that I’ve come across.

Who knows, maybe you’ll find something new to try!

Hope Hummus Sweet Potato Hummus

Just try this – it’s ridiculous. I’ve been on a slight sweet potato obsession/addiction and this just adds to fuel to my Sweet Potato fire. I’m also dying to try the spicy avocado. I picture it as a spicy guac of sorts. More flavors here.

Lara Bar Cappucino

I realize this is a common find but I kid you not I haven’t been able to find the new flavor anywhere. FYI – SOMA Whole Foods carries it – buy in bulk. You’ll regret it if you don’t. I felt like I was eating an espresso.

Inka Corn Peruvian Corn Nuts

Without a doubt the most addicting snack in the world. Boyfriend discovered these recently, and brought home a bag last night for me to try. Between the two of us, the bag was emptied in about 31 minutes. Do not skimp on the Salt & Vinegar and buy original. You want the Salt and the Vinegar… trust me on this one.

What are you favorite Whole Foods find recently?

It’s OK if they’re local to your area, I’ll just be jealous of your delicious finds, and then repeatedly and obsessively ask you to mail me some :)
