How do you do a modified Whole 30? I’ve done several over the years and would like to do another, but always looking for a fresh take!
Wow that’s great that you have done it several times 👏🏻 I only did it once last year and it was very eye opening especially because I feel like I’m generally a clean eater. How often do you do it?
I was thinking of modifying by allowing more whole unprocessed foods like beans 🫘 lentils, tofu and peanut butter 🥜 which aren’t technically allowed on whole 30. I’d still avoid dairy and grains though.
I’ve done 8, but my first was in 2017, so usually one a year, but once I did 2 in the year. I might do something similar. As long as I’m cutting sugar and alcohol I feel a lot better!
@@christineh1546 2 a year?! Wow 🤩 that’s really impressive❣️alcohol isn’t an issue for me luckily but sugar definitely is 😬🤭
Happy New Year! 🧡I can't wait to get the Sumo Citrus mandarins. The garden vegetable hash looks so good! It be yummy to use to make egg bites. I live in the KC area and the Trader Joe's Travis Kelce went to is the one I shop at also. The apple granola you made looks amazing!
Happy New Year Sarah 🥳❣️So cool that Travis Kelce went to your local store 🤩 Hope you can find the sumo 🍊 on your next trip 🛒 Highly recommend giving the apple granola a try. It’s surprisingly good for such a simple recipe 😋
@@traderjoesgeek I hope I can find them also! It seems to be hit or miss lately on finding seasonal stuff. I will def have to try it. I'm allergic to chia seeds, do you have a recommendation for what I can replace those with?
@@sarahsappenfield8359 hmmm how about flax seeds, pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds? Or you can skip the seeds altogether and add any type of nuts instead. I recommend slicing them up or crushing them to give it the added crunch making it taste more like granola 😋
@@traderjoesgeek Flax and pumpkin would be good! I like the idea of sliced walnuts too. Thank you!!! 😊
@@sarahsappenfield8359 Of course 💕
That kimbap is awesome! I make it into a "bowl" with shelled edamame beans and a little soy sauce, warmed up. Makes a great meal with the edamame beans.
What a clever idea to make it into a bowl 🥣 IThanks so much for sharing❣️I hope I can find some more next time I go because they’re so hard to find at my store 🤞🏻🤞🏻
Hard to find at my store too!
@@traderjoesgeek
Wow my Trader Joe's has those oranges for 2.49 and 5.99 for the bag.😮not cool.
Ugh 💸 it definitely depends on the region you live in I noticed. I’ve seen some stores sell items cheaper in other parts of the country than here in California 😕 are you in the east coast? I noticed the food prices are higher there sometimes especially at regular supermarkets
I likehowyoumove almond and do not dally.
Thank you for your feedback and for watching❣️
Trader Joe,s coffee ice cream is to die for,
I believe you ☕️🍨😋 I just wish it came in a pint size❣️
Happy New Year! Another great video 👏👏👏 need to run to ALDIs to look for those mugs!
Happy New Year 🥳❣️Those mugs are from Costco & finally went on clearance ☕️
I only like my 🥬 cabbage wrapped in a fried roll. Eggroll😝
That’s fair 😆
My shopping sister! Happy New Year! Was at T Js yesterday (Oklahoma City) and they didn’t have all of the plants you’ve shown but they will. Can’t wait. Did load up on some bags of lettuce and fresh veggies. How do you fix the parsnips? May have to try. Love your review of the dried fruit. Forgot to look for the tortilla espanola but now I know where to look! Also got the pilaf and will try soon, but like you, I may be able to go almost 3 weeks from the freezer! So enjoy your presentations. Thank you ❤❤
Cutting up and baking the parsnips in the oven with oil and salt, like with French fries is really tasty!
Happy New Year friend 🥳 My mom used to live in Oklahoma for a short time when she was young and she has always wanted to go back to visit❣️
In this video below ⬇️ I show how I make and eat the parsnips
ua-cam.com/video/mqmKaE-i8S0/v-deo.htmlsi=3VY0Q3yQ7XLmP0GN
Basically I peel them and cut them up into sticks, spray avocado oil on it, sprinkle salt 🧂 and air fry it at 380 degrees for 12-14 minutes or so until the edges get a little crispy and eat them like “fries” 🍟 they are slightly sweet. I’m addicted to them 🤤
Curious to hear your thoughts on the new pilaf!
@@reneets5729 absolutely agree 🍟😋❣️
I love marzipan too, and my sweetheart likes those Jimmy Dean Delights breakfast sandwiches. Happy New Year! 🌻
Both are so good 😋 I regret not getting more of those chocolate dipped Danish cookies in the bakery section that had marzipan in it a couple months ago! Happy new year friend 🥳❣️
Is it me or Trader Joe’s got so expensive. If you look at the sizes they are so small. It’s good if you just want to use fresh for that night but Costco is way cheaper .
Agreed❣️I buy my produce mostly from Costco or Sam’s Club for that reason but I also appreciate the smaller sizes of Trader Joe’s for certain items.
New sub here and love your presentation. Lots of fabulous finds at Trader Joe's ... love the succulents!! Greetings from Buffalo NY! Go Bills🎉🎉🎉🎉
THANK YOU so much for subscribing ❤️❤️❤️ and saying hello 🤗
😅
@@elaineho9597 Thank you so much for watching❣️
I want to do whole 30! Still on the sweets😮that apple granola is right up my alley! I may do it next month as well I hope you share more ideas and recipes like this! I could have that every night different variations 🥰👍👍👍
Same…I still have a ton of sweets & snacks leftover from the holidays…some untouched and unopened 🤦♀️ I definitely want to do whole 30 again or a modified whole 30 where I allow chick peas & peanut butter 😆 Aiming for it after I clear out all the food in my freezer & pantry 😅 Hope you try the apple granola at some point. The key is dicing up the apple pieces as small as you can giving it that granola crunch 😋
Thanks for these tips! I don't make it to Trader Joes very often, because there is not one in our town. I definitely want to try the Sumo oranges, the Meyer lemons, and the Chicken Lentil pilaf! Your apple granola looks amazing.
Yay glad it was helpful 😃 Thank you so much for watching❣️
👍👍👍
Thank you so much for watching❣️
I have a small freezer which is always so packed full that I lose things in it. I never thought of making that a New Year resolution. Gonna do it! Thanks. 😊
YAY we can do it together❣️My freezer is jam packed as well so it becomes mostly a collection of where things go sometimes never to be seen again 🫣 I really need to declutter. Honestly might take a good few months before I can make a dent 😆
@@traderjoesgeek never to be.seen again seems to be my exact freezer problem. 😭
@@jazzbeaux6154 😭😆
What is the name of the restaurant? I want to go soon! Did you need reservations?
LSXO in Huntington Beach. It’s a small restaurant so I recommend making reservations. I think my friend made the reservation 😊
I'm going to join you in the Whole 30 next month. I needs to makes some dietary changes. Is tofu or edamane allows? Different website give different answers. They do updated version occasionally. MSG is the latest acceptable ingredients in Whole 30 😬. Apple dessert looks delicious. Went to TJs Sunday.. bough a bag of the Sumo 🍊, meyer lemon for hot water drink, Step up snack(regular) our store still have plenty of both. Guilty purchase Ciabbata roll for splurge before next month 🫣. So good,first time buying, great for tuna sandwich.
Yay another friend to do whole 30 with❣️I think tofu, edamame and beans in general are allowed if you’re doing the plant based version but not allowed if you’re doing the original whole 30. MSG is allowed on whole 30 😱 that makes no sense!
I’m debating whether to do whole 30 or a modified whole 30 where I allow chick peas 🫘 & tofu & a couple of other foods.
The ciabatta rolls and ciabatta demi baguettes are delicious which is why I rarely buy them except for special treats 😋 Did you try the skipjack tuna that comes in the blue pouch?
My store still had a good handful of the snack mixes also (both the regular & spicy).
@traderjoesgeek it'll be fun going on this Whole 30 journey with my favorite TJ's influencer 💐. I remembered PreCovid, this lady at gym was so noticeably thinner. Mentioned to me she was in Whole 30, at that time I wasn't too keenly interested in dieting/details. Now older, different mindset. Whole30 seems doable better than Keto/ Low Carb etc. Easier to follow. I know that green bean, snow pea and snap pea are allowed on both of them. I might follow the regular Whole. So I could just include the seafood. I did purchase tuna in pouch for the first time. But I haven't opened it yet. Ate the Ciabatta with that TJ's olive oil butter. Omg ate half, then decided to eat the other half. No willpower 😜.
@@eg1197 I hear ya❣️Bread is my weakness 🍞🤤 If someone asked if I’d rather have a nice steak 🥩 or warm crusty bread with butter, I’d choose the bread 🍞 That’s why I get the mini French baguettes 🥖 in the freezer section because it’s built in portion control. I can’t be trusted around bread that I have to cut slices 🤭
The olive fougasse bread is also FANTASTIC warmed up ever so slightly in the oven for like 30 seconds or so and then with a little butter 🧈 or olive oil 😋
What do you think of the collagen peptides? Does it work? Whet has it done for you? TIA!
So I take it mostly for my arthritis & it helped me with my joints but it took a LONG time of daily consumption for it to really show a difference for me (6 months +). I haven’t noticed that much of a difference in hair or nails but when I first took it, I noticed a slight difference in my skin. Also helps to get in more amino acids especially because I don’t eat a lot of meat so any protein intake for me helps ☺️
@@traderjoesgeek sweet! How long does one container last year?
@@TheTerakitty hmm not sure 🤔 I take a daily scoop (2 Tb) but one serving used to be 2 scoops (but it no longer comes with a scooper) and now is 4 Tb so it lasts me quite a while. I pretty much buy 2 containers only when I see it on sale which then lasts me until whenever the next sale is. My guess is one container lasts me a little over 2 months. They also have flavored ones (chocolate and lemon). Ive tried the chocolate one but it made my coffee taste like hot cocoa instead of giving it a mocha flavor so I didn’t repurchase that one but it was good…just a little too sweet for my coffee ☕️
@@traderjoesgeek thx for all the info!! I really appreciate you taking the time! 💗
@@TheTerakitty happy to help 🥰
Hello❣️Hope you’re having a great a Saturday. I’ve purchased the Meyer lemons my last two trips. They are so juicy & delicious. I also buy the butter lettuce with radicchio- so yummy. 😋 It always amazes me how much cheaper your groceries & other products are in California compared to the Northeast. As always, I appreciate your videos, shorts & detailed explanations of products. 🥰
Happy Saturday Kathy❣️What do you use the Meyer lemons on? Thank you so much for always watching 💕💕💕
@@traderjoesgeek I make salad dressings, squeeze over fish, veggies, chicken & actually freeze some slices to thaw in my water.
@@kathy2933 love that you make your own salad dressings 💛🥗👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So Well Done! Thank You so Much, Again!
🥰 Thank you so much for watching❣️
Wish you a very Happy New Year!! Loved your first video!!!
Happy new year friend 🥳 Thank you so much for watching❣️
Brazil nuts Not Hazelnuts…..FYI.
not sure why I said hazelnuts 🤦♀️
Nice 👍
Thank you so much for watching❣️
travis and taylor 🤢
I thought they were an unexpected pair but I warmed up to it❣️
Nobody even paid attention to Travis until he started dating TS
He was dating a beautiful woman forever. Nobody warmed up to him until he started dating TS. I wonder why?
@@donna6186 He had a reality dating show several years ago which I actually watched and that’s how I first learned who he was 🤭
Watching and listening to you makes me out of breath… no one talks this fast! SLOW DOWN
Noted 🫡 sometimes I talk fast and sometimes I talk slower in some videos without realizing 🤷♀️ Thank you for the feedback and for watching❣️
She didn't talk fast at all. It was calming and informative. Also, choose to not be a nasty person on the internet and make rude comments.
@@beckyphillips4841 I was not being nasty just stating a fact..
@@beckyphillips4841 again, not being or ever have been nasty…
@@beckyphillips4841 💕💕💕
The singing and whining was annoying
That’s just how I talk 😆🤷♀️ Thank you for watching❣️
