$200 Trader Joe's Grocery Haul! My Favorite Healthy Plant Based Staples From Trader Joe's

[@jimw966]

Grocery hauls are always fun. It’s exciting to see what you got 😃

[@sherri.]

I’d love to see the bagel recipe with yogurt and flour. I only shop at TJs and added a few new things to my list! 😊

[@sherri.]

I tried the freeze dried pineapple, but it tastes nothing like pineapple. 😢

[@donnaphillips142]

I buy a lot of the same things at Trader Joe’s that you do. Love it!! Saw a few new things I would like to add. Yes, most definitely would love to see the recipes you make from this haul!!

[@marisajonassaint1871]

Please, of course I’d love to see all the food you make with what you bought, which, btw, is very, very much like what I bought at Trader Joe’s this week myself!😂❤

[@patcole1537]

Love your recipe videos. Would especially like to see the buffalo cauliflower.

[@wendypanozzo9133]

I second that!

[@kimclark399]

@@wendypanozzo9133 And the cauliflower tacos!!

[@sarahb1740]

Could you please share some of your go-to smoothie recipes, even though they're not meal preps? Your channel is my favorite plant-based recipe resource! I really appreciate that your recipes are easy to make and there are no weird/hard to find ingredients. TY!

[@Chantymarie]

That’s a good idea other people have asked that too! And thank you so much that is so good to hear!!

[@nikkiplantbased]

the Trader Joe’s organic fruit spreads / jams 🔥 so yummy you guys!

[@Chantymarie]

Mine discontinued the no sugar added ones 😢 I’m so sad! They used to have all 100% fruit spreads and now they only have like grape jelly

[@Tracer3]

Wish we had a TJ in the UK, Wonderful selection of organic foods you have there.

[@Lost_In_LA]

If you are putting bananas in the blender for a smoothie, you can eat the peel and a reason to go organic.

[@user-vn6xo2tc9r]

I haven’t been to TJs since end of 2019 or beginning of 2020, I miss it so much!!! It’s so far from where I live. Can’t wait to see the bread/bagel recipe, thanks for sharing! ✨☀️🧡🔆

[@lindaharshman4228]

Thank you, Chanty! 💕

[@teamcrantz]

Thank you for sharing your haul!🌷 Really appreciate all of the healthy items! 😊

[@Freds_mom]

Yes, the recipes please! 😍😋

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi Chanty good morning happy Sunday morning and I hope you having amazing day today and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of you

[@coloradotrish7297]

Another fabulous post! I like to stock up on walnuts - TJ's really does have great prices on nuts! Be well -from Colorado!

[@ruthhorndasch5244]

I wish I had TJ by me!! Great buys😁

[@leslieescobedo2325]

I can buy my self flowers 🌹🎶

[@ElinevanderLaan]

I did a €62,- haul today and felt like I got a ton of food too! I find myself sticking to very simple foods these days and buying the bigger bags of potatoes, rice etc. because they have the better price per kilo. Also tend to skip any canned beans and just cook tons of beans from dried on the weekends and freeze them so save money there.

[@Chantymarie]

That’s smart I need to do that too with beans!

[@conniea5900]

Yes, please post the bagel recipe. I've seen it with dairy-based greek yogurts only, so I'd love to see if it works with plant based yogurt as well!

[@simplyMandymarie]

Definitely would love to see you make the pesto pasta !

[@kevinduncansr4491]

Wonderful thanks would love love love to see the recipes

[@hammafamily8043]

I always buy frozen salmon, corn dogs and chips at Trader Joe's.

[@ashleybankscoaching]

I need to go to my local trader's for some of these goodies

[@sfpit44]

Thank you for posting. would like to see your cauliflower buffalo style taquitos.

[@Chantymarie]

I think I'm going to post it next!

[@donandjessica9782]

I know this video is made a little bit ago but was wondering if you made the curry recipe that you mentioned you bought an item to make your curry? Have you made a video on that yet? Thank you again for your videos!!

[@DaniElle-di4ho]

Please film all of the recipes you mentioned

[@leslieescobedo2325]

Thanks for adding the price information for each item.

[@lifeisbeautiful9455]

Love these food choices. The only stuff I can’t eat is soy based. It makes more estrogen in the body. I’m allergic.

[@tanialeee]

TJ has the best produce, quality and price.

[@julielauwers5630]

Oh wow, our TJs doesn't have the Ezekiel wraps! The price for the bread is great!

[@Chantymarie]

When I was in MA last summer they didn’t have the Ezekiel wraps either!

[@nancyrendel3338]

I really miss nachos so I slice the Ezekiel tortillas and bake them till crisp. SO yum. I also love the t.joes vegan tzatziki to drizzle on top. I'm really bummed they discontinued their organic vegan nacho cheese. The buffalo cheese is too runny for me but tastes good.

[@Chantymarie]

Oooo that sounds delicious! I hate when they discontinue things!

[@julielauwers5630]

Me too! I thought that vegan nacho cheese was really good. Probably the best I've ever purchased or even maybe made myself. I heard some people say they thought it tasted artificial but I didn't think so. And it was a bit of a dietary splurge for me because it wasn't the healthiest thing in the world, but it could sure hit the spot sometimes. 🙂

[@lizzzarduh]

I saw a recipe making a really quick and easy Whole Foods vegan nacho cheese blending boiled cauliflower and a can of rotel or like tomatoes with chiles and that’s it! I would add nutritional yeast and lemon

[@4thefoodie]

Awesome

[@jacquelineflores8393]

Fabulous haul!👍👍👏👏👏

[@Chantymarie]

Thank you!! ☺️☺️

[@bonnielemmon8493]

Yes, yes, yes! Show your recipes. I love TJ’s. Have you ever tried Well Your World nutritional yeast? It’s a little more expensive, but we’ll worth it. Hope you have a great week.😊

[@Chantymarie]

No I haven’t tried that! Hope you do too! 🥰

[@kimclark399]

I would love Well Your World products but they cost too much. I love Anthony's Goods non-fortified nutritional yeast and they have free shipping on their website.

[@bonnielemmon8493]

@@kimclark399 I’ve never heard of this company before, definitely will check it out. Thank you for the information. 😊

[@claudiad7654]

It’s such a bummer that trader joes discontinued their no salt marinara! The only other brand that has a no salt one is sprouts, it’s kind of expensive not crazy but I think it’s worth it cause marinara is always so high in sodium I’d rather add my own. And sprouts also has pea crumbles without any seasonings added! It’s by the brand Plant boss! I agree the texture is the best!

[@claudiad7654]

Forgot to add the plant boss pea crumbles are also organic which is important for peas.

[@Chantymarie]

Woah I’m definitely gonna go to sprouts and look for those! They have pea crumbles on Amazon but they are $15 a bag 😢

[@chandaharden6559]

I would love to see the pesto recipe. ❤

[@ateaiz893]

I ❤ your channel.

[@Angela10226]

Have you ever used the vegan shredded cheeses from Aldi's? Yes to any recipes.

[@Chantymarie]

Yes I have! Have you?

[@marylambeth2561]

Enjoy your videos & hope you video the recipes

[@Chantymarie]

Thank you so much!

[@waterloobicycleworks]

All the recipes please! 🤩

[@naomibby12]

I was so sad when they raised the price of the soy milk by 30 cents. Still the best for no other added ingredients! Glad I’m not alone 😹

[@andreaanonymous5474]

If you can afford to buy organic you always should. When they spray the pesticides it gets into the soil with the watering and the rain and then grows into the plant. It can't be washed off. So even with bananas I would always buy organic.

[@Chantymarie]

I agree with that! I’m gonna mostly buy organic from now on

[@DaniElle-di4ho]

Please share why you prefer the non-fortified nutritional yeast? I buy the Trader Joe’s brand frequently and would like to know what I don’t know!

[@pda2836]

Fortified nutritional yeast usually contains synthetic folic acid. Evidence suggests synthetic folic acid, which is chemically different than natural folate, promotes cancer growth and disrupts normal folate metabolism. (quote from Dr. Fuhrman's website) Sari Foods on Amazon is delicious but expensive. There are other non-fortified brands out there, too.

[@krylesangerbeaver]

2:55 "No sugars".....for 1/6th it shows 10 carbs (-2 for fiber), so 8g *6 = about 48g per bottle

[@Chantymarie]

I meant there’s no sugar added as an ingredient which is what I like about it!

[@afq04]

please show how the yogurt bagels turn out :)

[@krylesangerbeaver]

How did your Lemons compare to the store bought?

[@Chantymarie]

Mine are sweeter and way juicier and the store bought one is drier and more sour!

[@Munichismybaby]

You would love Aldi. Have you been?

[@Chantymarie]

Yes! Love it!

[@iriegirl5517]

I love TJ hauls! We try to go once a month. Where did you find the sundried tomatoes? I didn't see those at my TJs

[@Chantymarie]

Near the sauces! I wish I could find the dehydrated ones but the worker said they didn’t get any in!

[@iriegirl5517]

@Chanty Marie I didn't see them :( They probably dont sell them at mine

[@crystalh1402]

Tvp could be a better option to the meatless crumbles

[@nancyrendel3338]

Also wondering if you are vegan or sometimes have eggs? Sorry if you already did a vid.on this subject. I'm pre-diabetic Vegetarian. I would say 80/20. The 20% applies when I go out and know beans might be cooked with lard or something might be made with egg or butter. When I'm home 100% vegan. Attempting the Mastering Diabetes low fat theory. Starch solution... Oh and for years I was keto and I feel that caused my prediabetes besides family history. BUT once I went vegan my last 10 pounds melted off! Without much effort and my cholesterol finally went down.

[@Chantymarie]

Yes I sometimes eat eggs I’m not 100% vegan anymore but I still have many days where I eat only plant based! Congrats on your weight loss and lowering cholesterol!

[@islandjane2004]

Yes, would love the lentil bowl recipe

[@jacquelinebodine7920]

Yes, film the taquito recipe

[@marianne09876]

Recipes please!

When your in Canada and don’t have Trader Jo’s😭
