Our local butcher said grass fed and grass finished beef doesn’t get the marbeling that grain finished. That’s why not high fat. Tastes good and healthier

[@barbarajaroch1922]

Absolutely true!

[@jenlhandy]

I have discovered that the absolute best sunscreen only sold at TJ's is their Enrich Moisturizing Face Lotion with broad spectrum SPF 15. It's not a high number but it really works. I'm of Scottish decent and I have 2 skin colors in summer: white and red. This is the only thing that works for me.

[@marisacirasella831]

I love it too!!!

[@minniegibson8722]

Haha. I am red and white just like you.

[@jennywu73]

How much is it.

[@kbz2002]

Do you have to constantly reapply too? also a red/white person and I can never find anything that works well for more than an hour.

I just got back from grocery shopping. I didn’t go to TJ, but I did go to Aldi and Sprouts. I used your Bobby approved app which has been helping me to eat clean and healthier! I enjoy using the app.

[@meldramatic]

The frooze balls are so good! I take them to work as a snack ❤

[@isagoldfield7393]

SO YUMMY 😋

[@OffbeatsMusic]

Never lose Leilani. She is everything.

[@kennixox262]

The reason it is the "coldest" Trader Joe's is that in South Florida the humidity is so high this time of year, they must reduce the temperature on the air conditioning system to remove the humidity. Where they go wrong is to not have a separate dehumidifier to remove the excess moisture from the sweaty customers, the ambient air that comes in every time the doors open/close. Personally, I don't shop at TJ's as much since it seems more and more of their food is being sold as "kits" for people too lazy to cook for themselves and then there are the ingredient labels.

[@namaste4034]

Coconut oil (organic) is the best sunscreen and facial moisturizer. Yes its oily, let it soak in before getting dressed or putting on makeup. The Hawaiians use coconut oil, its a natural sunscreen!

[@Marina_G.]

really? i wonder if thats true! i would hope so bc then im going to start ! Lol i would just feel that since its oily it would attract the sun and burn

[@namaste4034]

@@Marina_G. im not a sun bather but i would think it needs to be reapplied if u sweat it off. 🤷

[@FatCuteCats]

Coconut oil clogs your pores and not recommended to use as a moisturizer

[@rebecca3745]

No, it is not a sunscreen.

[@namaste4034]

@@FatCuteCats not true, I use it everyday and look young for my age. Its also antibacterial, it cleans the skin.

[@robertwessels9827]

Grass fed is why the rib eye is not marbled. They wouldn’t spend time in a dirty feed lot eating corn. They are in the field.

[@barbarajaroch1922]

Yes, absolutely! I was going to comment on that myself, but was reading some comments to see if anyone else had. People often don't like grass fed when they try it because it can be quite tough due to the lack of fat. To be at its best it needs to be cooked like an inexpensive cut. Braised or stewed... a good marinade may do it too and probably a good beating with a mallet! Lol

[@tylerofviolence]

Yes and Bobby may want to do more research and/or actually boots on the ground at a ranch that procured grass fed organic proteins.

[@maxineoliver7404]

Hi Flavcity(Bobby and Leilani)! Trader Joe's is once again, becoming one my favorite stores!🤗 Lol on the description on hot dogs! 🌭🤣🤭 I've been passing by that Coconut Milk Smoothie drink the entire time! It is now, for sure, time for me to try it!!🥥 I also didn't know that those doors opened either,Leilani!🤭The Mexican beans sound great with the hot dogs, I agree- especially for cookouts and camping!🏕 Alright guys,Later!!💕✌

[@coloradotrish7297]

Another fab post! Great to meet Laloni and it's NICE she can provide corrections/feedback. It looks like you have a positive supervisor/employee relationship which is what makes it work for viewers for sure!!! On the olive oil chips, not only are they healthy but they are amazing spud flavor/super crunchy/addictive!!

[@nancyfasolino7607]

Bobby my cosco had a box of 6 of the pink Thai coconut water bigger bottles high in sugar but all natural sugar from the coconut 👍good price! I love that coconut smoothie’

[@c.v.yardley]

I know someone with type 2 diabetes, and he would never eat all those cakes, puddings, and sweet sauces, snacks etc - even if they are sweetened with 'healthier' sugars. Even the salad dressings are full of maple syrup. The best way is just to avoid most of the sweet foods. Which of Bobby's recommendations are you following?

[@wavylocks7177]

Lol, this is my Trader Joe’s and the fact that he noticed how cold this place is… hilarious. We actually bring sweatshirts when shopping here and still freeze!

[@midlifemom5829]

[@paulapatino4834]

I'm kind of confused about the chips and popcorn made with EVOO because I thought the oil would lose its good properties if used to cook on "high temperatures". My understanding is to use only avocado and coconut oils for frying or high temperature recipes.

[@upstairscat87]

I pop my own popcorn in EVOO. Works great if you don’t go higher than medium heat. Ghee works best for popcorn at higher heats though. Adds a buttery taste, too!

[@susanfisher6939]

Thank you for all of your suggestions!!

[@upstairscat87]

Its very rare to find grassfed steaks with the same fat marbling as grain fed cows. The corn feed helps create the marbling/flavor you’re looking for. Unfortunate trade off with grassfed beef.

[@c.v.yardley]

I just looked that up because I'd never heard it before, and apparently it has a lot to do with the breed of cattle as well.

[@AtheistAlix]

I watch most of your videos and I've learned quite a bit and have become more conscience about what I buy. BUT, I've noticed you seem to be only concerned with sugar and you don't ever talk about copious amount of SODIUM(salt) in most of the food/snacks you recommend. It would be nice to address sodium as well. My 2 cents. Thanks

[@greenidentity]

Sodium and fat. high fat and saturated fat isn’t good for everyone.

[@gingermonroe4153]

Love your videos! However...I am still not sold on the nitrite free hot dogs using celery powder. Even though from a natural source...you are still ingesting nitrites and not even measured because it is "natural" Could you please look into this confusion..? THANK YOU BOBBY for all you do!

Just because the hot dogs say “grass fed” or “organic beef” doesn’t mean they’re not using other parts of the animal. Trader Joe’s brand 69% of the calories are from fat -doesn’t sound like you’re getting a lot of organic beef to me.

Saw the cauliflower snacks, but too much salt. Got some more of those Go Macro protein bars, 12 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber.
