The post-grad, full-time job, grown-up life has definitely made me a creature of habit. I am proud to say that I can get in and out of Publix with everything I need for the week in 20 minutes or less. I typically do my shopping on Sunday mornings and have a pretty good idea of what meals I will make throughout the week. Meal planning & packing a lunch for the office saves time, money, and calories. Here are some of my current favorite brands (& flavors). Throw in a bunch of fresh produce, and you're all set.
Protein Bar:
Quest Nutrition Bars: Cookies & Cream, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough & Chocolate Chunk
If you missed my earlier review here, these bars have quickly become my morning staple. They suppress my hunger for hours, taste great, and are low in sugar, fat, & net carbs. If you prefer fruitier options, give the Lemon Cream Pie & Banana Nut Bread bars a try!
Greek Yogurt:
Dannon Lite & Fit: Banana Cream, Key Lime & Toasted Coconut Vanilla
Greek yogurt is perfect for a mid-morning or afternoon snack.
Almond Milk:
Almond Breeze: Unsweetened Vanilla
I substitute almond milk in a lot of recipes. I also prefer it to dairy milk in cereal & on its own.
Flatbread:
Joseph's Multi-Grain
These flatbreads are the perfect size for pizzas, sandwiches, wraps, etc.
Salad Dressing:
Kraft Lite Balsamic Vinaigrette
I love this dressing. The Raspberry Vinaigrette is great as well.
Chips:
Special K Chips: Chili Lime
The serving size for these bad boys is 27 chips! They are great on their own or with salsa and other dips.
Almonds:
Blue Diamond: Blueberry & Habanero BBQ
These are perfect for reenergizing in the afternoon.
Hot Tea:
Twining's of London: French Vanilla Chai
I try and drink at least one cup of hot tea a day. Black tea boosts metabolism, increases brain function, aids in digestions, etc.
What are your favorite brands?
