After I left my meeting with my nutritionist, I immediately headed to my local Trader Joe's. For those of you who don't know what Trader Joe's is like the mecca of affordable health food. Truthfully, the prices at Meijer and Kroger are comparable, but I can find some more plant based protein at a better price there. Also, their frozen meals are fabulous and generally healthier and better priced than at other stores. I will often get these for my fiancee when I won't be home for dinner. Anyway, I digress. At Trader Joe's I picked up some hemp hearts, walnuts, and quinoa and brown rice pasta.
After Trader Joe's I called my dad to see if he could meet me at Costco. My fiancee and I are probably one of the few people left who do not have a bulk food store membership. Fortunately, I am the biggest daddy's girl ever and he agreed to meet me right away. My grocery list at Costco included: individual packages of guacamole, vegan protein powder, spinach frozen triple berry mix, and cashews.
You would think that between Costco and Trader Joe's I would be finished shopping. Nope. Not yet. After Costco, I went straight to to Meijer and picked up my produce. Apples were on sale this week, so I picked up enough for one a day. I also picked up some stuff for my fiancee to eat. I'm still easing him in to the idea of veganism. After Meijer, I headed to Kroger. I was looking for Bragg's Liquid Aminos and Nutritional Yeast. Supposedly the nutritional yeast is like Parmesan cheese. I'll let you know how that goes.
