Happy Monday! Did you do anything fun for July 4th weekend? My day was full of yummy food, some shopping + relaxing. My boyfriend has been wanting me to watch The Karate Kid movies so that we can watch Cobra Kai on Netflix (he's already seen it + said it was great). I only ever remember watching The Next Karate Kid so it was nice starting at the beginning and seeing all of the '80s vibes!
One of my goals this month is to cut back and ease into healthier eating. Let's do a haul on a few new healthier options for when I'm eating at home. I'd also love to know if you've tried any of these + if you have any other healthish grocery items you love. I'm working on incorporating healthier choices + options where I can. I also recently did a Healthy Snacks Haul here if you're interested.
+ Ezekiel 4:9 Organic Frozen Sprouted Whole Grain English Muffins - I'm going to try and curb my bagel and Chick-fil-a breakfast addiction with these Ezekial English Muffins. They are sprouted, flourless english muffins that nutritionally are a much better choice than a regular bagel or english muffin. Spoiler alert- I tried them this morning and liked them! I toasted mine with peanut butter + was surprised that it still was soft and not dry at all. I'm guessing it could have to do with the whole grain and that they are refrigerated.
+ Smucker's Organic Creamy Peanut Butter - This is the peanut butter I used with the muffins. I never thought I'd see the day where I would buy natural peanut butter... I love Peter Pan, ya'll. This one is definitely different than "normal" peanut butter that has added sugar + oils. The consistency and taste are both different, however I think I could grow into this one. I didn't actually mind it by itself, however I did add a little honey on top to give me that missing sweetness. I love that it's 100% organic peanuts and that's it!
+ Applegate Naturals Chicken & Maple Breakfast Sausages - I love making turkey sausage for breakfast so I thought these chicken sausages might be a little bit of a healthier alternative. I'll let you know!
+ Tru Fru White & Dark Chocolate Frozen Whole Raspberries - These are yummy!! This is one of those "healthier choices" for me. If I can snack on these for dessert instead of a cookie or something with a higher sugar/fat/calorie content, I consider it a win! I grabbed the raspberries, however they also come in strawberries, blueberries and milk chocolate varieties too.
+ Red's Chicken Cilantro Lime Burrito - I grabbed one of these to try out for lunch. I don't make a lot of frozen meals, however this chicken burrito looked on the cleaner side + had great customer reviews. I thought this might be a great option for when I want to eat something a little bit healthier at home.
+ Quaker Caramel Rice Crisps - Tried these today-- actually not bad. They are very light & have a subtle caramel coating. I'm not sure if I've ever had a rice cake/crisp before these... my mom informed me they've always been "diet food without much taste" LOL. I saw someone on IG share these + thought they'd be another sweet/salty snack that’s a better alternative. So far I like ‘em!
That’s a wrap for today’s mini haul. Are you all liking these posts or no? I love food but let me know your thoughts!
I love sharing my grocery hauls with you all! Should you click on or make a purchase through the links in this post, I'll earn some money to keep on shopping! Pretty cool, huh? :)
