[@kelseybenson3998]

would love to see a normal full week of eating

[@HealthNutNutrition]

love that idea

[@emilyharper2756]

Yes please to a French Onion Soup recipe!!!! 😁🤗

[@kendraatkins]

Thanks for the love! Wasn’t the salad good???

[@sineadoregan1993]

Ya Kendra I love watching ur vids too , something very real about u 😀

[@LK-hh4ff]

Pro tip: You can get those french onion soups at costco in Canada!!

[@michellebranch7972]

TJs. Is awesome, no matter what your diet needs are, they have a health alternative, and some mainstream items as well

[@CarrieLemieux]

Cotija = co-TEA-ha. I love Trader Joe's and I'd love to see you make a healthier French onion soup.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Its gotta happen!!

[@michellebranch7972]

Thank you

[@FreckleFinance]

I've made french onion soup before and it's not too hard to make it healthier, make it heavier on the onions, have less cheese on top and use whole wheat bread/crutons

[@HealthNutNutrition]

sounds DELISH!

[@NaturallyBrittany]

I’m totally picking up that almond lime dip! On my way to Trader Joe’s as we speak! 🙈

[@johnw1315]

hi healthnut i just wanted to know that how much i love you channel i came across it a week ago and no i am hooked. I have watched so many of your videos and i love watching your morning routines and your healthy recipes. i have started drinking a glass of water in mason jar with chai seed and lemon and not to gorget straw of course . you are an inspiration. thankyou

[@gabrielasalazar9791]

The all purpose gluten-free flour is amazing! I used it to make your snicker bar recipe and it turned soooo crispy, I loved it!!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

oh thats good to hear! I cant wait to try it

[@acarroll]

I tried it and it doesn't compare to Bob's Red Mill. I won't buy TJs again.

[@luciadenobrega1781]

Where do I find the snicker bar recipe please? Thanks

[@nadiab1922]

Love the video! And I NEED your T-shirt 😂 Could you do a video about quick and easy ways to add nutritional yeast to meals/ snacks please?

[@nadiab1922]

sidney lozano Oooh so many options 🤗 Thanks for all the suggestions!

[@ivanperez4627]

I also love Trader Joe’s. There’s one here in Tulsa but it’s small. I love the “a strawberry walks into a bar...” but they’re kinda high in sugar. I also love that they have a big bag of organic baby spinach for 2.99 I think so I that lasts the whole week for smoothies, etc and I actually went there because you mentioned it and I thought “interesting!”

[@HealthNutNutrition]

oh fun!!

[@kristing1369]

The other day when I went they were sampling guacamole but it was just avocados mashed up with their chili lime seasoning mixed it. It was so good! I started cutting up an avocado and sprinkling that on top for a snack now. Delish!

[@carlysipos4622]

Love your channel! That cheese is pronounced: Co-Ti-Ha. Can’t wait for the next video!

[@128TayTay]

The chili lime rolled tortilla chips are soo good. They remind me of Takis but better in my opinion

[@ldegley007]

So good right??!!

[@oliviarose9896]

AGREED it’s that lime flavor mmmm

[@michellem-e7p]

I live 15 minutes away from TJ’s, shop there regularly, and I still love watching your videos for recommendations. I will eat the spicy organic pickles from the jar! So good! They have such a great nuts/seeds/dried fruit section and I live for it!

[@MsMinglifestyle]

i love Trader Joe’s! But mostly I stay in the snack section (kinda a bad habit)... thx for expanding my trader joe shopping list lol!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Its to good to skip!

[@anastasiaklohn8669]

Funny enough that corn salad.. I found out about it from Kendra too and can’t get enough of it ever since. So good!

[@shwethagujaran7997]

Flour substitution guide! Thank you I really really need it.

[@michellegoit488]

Ok goal for this year... Go to Trader Joe's. I'm only 45 min to the border, it's doable. I would be there for hours though lol. I love checking out different grocery stores, always something new to find! I actually just picked up an Epic beef bar tonight to try out (thank you Sobeys!). I work some weird hours and need more snack type items to eat.

[@chantel7039]

We drive the 2 hours to go over the boarder every couple months to visit trader joes and target. So many of your favourites are mine too :). We have been doing this for a few years consistently and have never been dinged at the border when we go for an afternoon grocery shop, i think that is because groceries are not taxed in Canada.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Yes exactly! We find the same thing happens for us. We both have Nexus too which helps speed things up

[@saracruze2212]

I make my garlic aioli yes on my salads and spreads for burgers and sandwiches.

[@lainahesser8429]

That mustards the best mustard ever from trader Joe's

[@sammia4227]

Matt‘s blueberry beer passion has been outed to the public 🤣

[@HealthNutNutrition]

omg I know.. lol

[@dodgeremerson]

I didn't realize you and Caitlin were cousins. I've been following you both for a bit and had no idea. The peanut butter crackers are great. My boyfriend prefers the cheese ones, though. We've been getting a lot of our snack foods at TJ's recently because their prices are good and the ingredients are usually great. But their frozen section for prepared stuff tends to be mindblowing. At least one item there has 43% of the recommended daily sodium per serving! We do buy their frozen brown rice and some of their frozen veggies from time to time though as it makes doing quick dinners easy. Especially stir fry, which gets us lots of veggies and comes together in under 10 minutes if most of the stuff is already prepped.

[@matteethomas7566]

The jalapeño lime almond dip is sooo good!!!

[@tasiatyler4662]

Loved this! Thank you! Oh and the organic corn chip dippers are THE BEST! I love these!! Great choice Matt!

[@susananderson7700]

I love Trader Joe’s. We live about an hour from one and we were just there on Saturday. Those chili lime chips are really good but super spicy. You should try the “Unexpected Cheddar”. It’s so so good 🥑😀

[@samanthadanner3361]

Yahh been waiting for this video. I love your grocery hauls. Please make more💙

[@Lizlemon103]

the rolled tortilla chips are AMAZING!!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I know soo good!!

[@healthyeatingalways]

I would love to see your own french onion soup, that would be awesome! Also, to help you out with Cotija cheese, it's pronounced (Co-tee-ha). Those corn chip dippers are awesome with their vegetarian chili. I love the unsulfered dried mango. It's so good and just all our mangos, no added sugar.

[@leslieprebyl6238]

Yes, I have watched Kendra for a few years now. She is wonderful. I always think of her when I see that salad. I haven't tried it yet because I am afraid it will be too spicy. Maybe some day.

[@jackiedee3639]

I wish that TJ's would sell the poblano dressing from the corn & quinoa salad seperately. I'd buy 3 at time.

[@ingridanoordstrand1238]

In Lithuania we have clover and raspberries beer 🍺

[@rebeccafincher2486]

Do you ever bake with einkorn flour? It’s the most ancient form of flour still used today. It’s delicious and I have a wheat sensitivity but can still eat it. There’s still gluten in it but a lot less

[@mcaligirl0686]

Love love Trader Joe’s! I know you’re not a certified nutritionist or dietician but would you consider a video on how to read food labels?

[@lukaselijahephraimlarkins1467]

Lauren toyota has a french onion soup in here cook book.

[@lassanalife]

Hope you do the other video about Trader Joe’s before March break. We are going to US in the March break. This is so helpful. Thank you. 😊

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Im not sure when its going live yet as I like to try to space out the TJ videos a bit

[@Patricia-ng7li]

I would love so much to have a Trader Jos in Québec!

[@jessicanino1325]

Oh my god! I can’t believe Caitlyn is your cousin !!! I love her channel 😭❤️ and I love your channel too ❤️❤️ omg no wonder why I love both of you 😂👏🏼

[@bbbxoxobbb]

Thanks for sharing. I go weekly and have no idea what to get.

[@aruudawakening]

I think Old Fashioneds are delicious, but also fairly sweet 🤔😂

[@autumngilbreath7819]

Co-tee-huh 🤗 also yes I love Kendra!

[@joleenhernandez2196]

Autumn Gilbreath haha that gave me a giggle - my husband is Mexican and I remember my first time pronouncing it 😂

[@HealthNutNutrition]

THANK YOU!! lol Im sure Ill still mess it up

[@diplomat2623]

My Trader Joe’s & Whole Foods is 1 1/2 hr drive but I’m getting a group together to go soon and shop at a better quality store.

[@kristinawithak3095]

Another great video! FYI, the “j” in Spanish is pronounced like a soft “h.” Co-tee-ha cheese. I was actually looking for that corn the other day! 😩 Please do a healthy French onion soup recipe! Thank you and I hope your day is fantastic! 😃

[@modiva06]

Where is there a Trader Joe's in Ontario, Canada?

[@staysialawson2522]

Yayyyyyy!! I'm excited for this😊😊

[@alexmcginness8859]

The miyokos vegan butter is the best butter I’ve ever had (even compared to really dairy options.)

[@NaturallyBrittany]

Love Kendra! 😘😘

[@SarahWisner]

Love your channel! Would be fun to see a trader joe's plant-based haul 😁

[@sophiejiang6394]

I bought that corn chips once, and finished the whole bag in three days......Definitely delicious but not going to buy it again. Because I CANNOT STOP eating it. It was sooooo good!!!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

OMG I know soo good! You can only have them in the house when theres people to share with haha

[@sophiejiang6394]

The chips are so dangerous for me LOL.@@HealthNutNutrition

[@ullishw8098]

It’s just that even though the turkey burgers have simple ingredients, the non organic meat is nothing but natural ... turkeys get pumped with antibiotics and other stuff. If you want to eat healthy that’s important to consider as well.

[@kittytime7329]

Hi Nicole! Would you mind doing a video of Whole30 approved items to buy?

[@catherinelarmer21]

As a fellow canadian wanting to day trip to the USA for a trader joes: does the border people ever give you a hard time with only going down for a day and bringing back groceries!?

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Apparently food is considered a basic need so just like we aren't taxed on certain foods here in Canada we dont have to pay them when we cross. That being said its just from experience we haven't had an issue but its always a bit of a risk Im sure. So far no issues

[@mackjackk20]

In a 24 hour period, you are allowed to bring back $200 per person without paying Canadian duty. You are not supposed to bring back fruits and vegetables for pest control reasons.

[@taylorervin1]

Mackenzie J no you can bring fruits and veggies back

[@mommyeva2]

I love Trader Joe’s, can’t wait to try some of these items ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@meloniejunkin8796]

Would love to see you make your own version of french onion soup.

[@tabiree]

We live in Toronto too and go to TJ in Buffalo. Do you bring a cooler to bring the frozen stuff back?

[@ChristinaTruong1]

If you haven't yet, you should check out Farm Boy. It's like Trader Joe's but Canadian :)

[@HealthNutNutrition]

a few people have mentioned it and I def want to go!

[@rachelbrown3306]

you can keep Perfect bars out of the fridge for up to a week!!

[@kaylawedge8942]

yesss recipe for a healthier French onion soup!! yum

[@joanneleach8464]

Just curious how you get it across the border. Do you pay duty? Or are they ok if you keep it less than $200 (from Hamilton)

[@josie9951]

wait im also from toronto, how did you get to a trader joes? did you drive super far to get to one?

[@kelseybenson3998]

she’s talked about it before in previous videos, her and matt usually make day drips to buffalo, new york!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Yes we drive to Buffalo NY :)

[@Pawsome_Love]

You can actually leave perfect bars unrefrigerated for up to a week I believe 🙂

[@emmadozie]

It’s hard to film at Trader Joe’s it’s always packed I attempted to in my last vid😂😂

[@HealthNutNutrition]

they are also very strict on filming!

[@emmajennings83]

Would definitely love to see your French onion soup recipe!

[@tazzel10]

Ahh-sigh-eeee is how it’s pronounced

[@rebeccaentrekin444]

Solids don't melt, but they can thaw.

[@cherylg8722]

Yes to the healthy french onion soup recipe please 😃

[@megboston1702]

Co-tee-HA is how you say Cotija cheese 😘

[@kenycreeper]

I live in the GTA... where is the closest trader joes? I didn’t know there was one close to the border!

[@taylorlaverdiere2463]

YAY GROCERY HAULS!!! What is the benefit of fluoride free toothpaste thanks so much!! I think I’m getting the toothpaste you love!!

[@HealthNutNutrition]

I just feel like we get so much of it from our water and other sources that its hard to track how much we're actually ingesting so I choose to avoid it when I can. Its a personal preference but Im sure if you google it there will be a ton of info on it both pro and con

[@lauren1218]

Ooh I made the same mistake as you...the Miyoko's cream cheese is "lox" flavored - was not great. :/

[@malgorzatamalys1953]

The mushroom risotto is very delicious

[@jenniferleduc8969]

It's Co-Tea-Ha.

[@weigtjunctionalaska9558]

I love French onion soup

[@paulareilly912]

Do you know a nut butter without added oil and sugar? Other than pb, I love the powdered

[@ciliawillia9454]

Samples are so good it’s like going to Costco and filling up on all the samples 🙌🏼 I’m always afraid of trying sardines 🙊 You guys did purchase a lot of items always enjoy your TJ hauls You should try to film in there

[@HealthNutNutrition]

we have to stock up while were there! lol

[@leeza2706]

You must try the dried dragon fruit 😍😍😍😍

[@HealthNutNutrition]

oh I had no idea they had that!

[@dasowle89]

The garlic aoli is delicious! 👍

[@Amy-ny6qb]

How much was it all? My budget is $100/week

[@JoyfulLivingLinda]

I am so jealous of you guys for having Trader Joe's! I wish we had it, but we don't have anything quite like it :/

[@jennabusch3185]

Do a Whole Foods healthy haul!!

[@justaddmusclecom]

I love Trader Joes, unfortunately, the Closest one to Us is 45 Minute drive. We are getting a Lucky's Market this Summer about 5 minutes up the street though, and I can not wait.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

That is far for a regular shop but ours is about 1.5 hours away! Def a once and a while thing we do

[@rumley29]

You'll LOVE luckys. We just got one in my town and they are amazing! And so affordable!!

[@art_strings]

I like sardines in mustard. :) It's probably good there isn't a Trader Joe's or Whole Foods near me! :)

[@HealthNutNutrition]

oh yum never tried that before

[@rebeccaentrekin444]

Why don't you use reusable bags?

[@murialwang473]

From the states and currently in London. Unfortunately there is no Trader Joe's here , but I would definitely like to make some Trader Joe's inspired dishes :)

[@winnerr1]

I’ve seen people haul Trader Joe’s items in their Aldi haul. Maybe you can find stuff there?

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Would love to maybe remake my TJ favourites so others can make them at home!

[@murialwang473]

TJ is this place that’s kind of like a whole sale store. So they are able to cut down cost. They have amazing delicious food and a great freezer sections. It’s not really like Aldi since brands go bid to be in TJ and TJ still has selection and choices

[@winnerr1]

Murial Wang Trader Joe’s is actually owned by Aldi Nord. So while their selections in the US may differ they may be quite similar with Aldi stores in the EU.

[@svetlana6087]

Love those sardines!

[@0HS0uniq]

Hey Nicole! I didn't know they have a trader joe's in Toronto :O

[@christinevertrees682]

Pretty sure she drives to New York for trader Joe's. I remember her saying that on a different trader Joe's haul. (:

[@HealthNutNutrition]

We drive to Buffalo NY :)

[@lowkey3047]

@@christinevertrees682 she goes to New York state.

[@sarahh306]

french onion soup recipe, please! it's hard to find it without an insane amount of sodium (including the trader joes one)! :)

[@laurettamorroni9539]

We don't call it kale or tuscan kale: the name is cavolo nero and the translation is black kale😊

[@Raquel-uy9or]

those sardines are so good!!!! people sleep on them 😂

[@sammirose92]

Lmk what you think of the vegan cream cheese, I thought it was disgusting. Has like pieces of seaweed or something in it. Thought it was plain:(

[@meganshah6135]

Sammi Godwin that vegan cheese was LUX I didn’t pay attention when I bought it. it was disgusting! 🤭Went straight to trash after first try!

[@healingmood1946]

Great video girl!

[@Carmlife]

Im from toronto too , where did you find a closest trader joes?!

[@taylorervin1]

Carmen Chan buffalo :)

[@annashealthyworld]

Best ketchup I've ever tried!

[@lom9347]

There's a Trader Joes in Ontario??

[@crimsonsanch809]

Love ur hauls 👌😊

[@Anne_Anna21]

Are these actually healthy tho...

[@Jessica-bt6rw]

There is sooo much sodium in each serving of those frozen convenience meals. Thats like almost all your suggested sodium intake for the whole day, in one food package. It's not good to be eating those salty prepared foods. If you prepare it yourself you control the salt added.

[@andreatreviso4138]

That cheese is like Mexican Parmesan. So think Spanish when you say it. Co-tee-ha
