I Was Able To Eat Healthy And Not Break The Bank Because Of Trader Joe's

In This Article:

I like to challenge myself in different areas of my life whenever I can. Whether it be trying a new diet to see if it makes me feel any different, or try something new that anyone suggests. I'm pretty carefree in that regard.

This summer I decided to try to be vegetarian/pescatarian for a little bit. I hate having to commit to a diet type. Maybe one week, I want to try being a vegetarian, and the next I'm trying Keto because, why not? The diet you choose really does not have to define you. This summer I challenged myself to be able to save on groceries and eat healthy at the same time.

Here are a few products that help me do this:

Soy Chorizo

This is a staple in my house lately. I can make a taco salad, mock chipotle bowl, spaghetti sauce or anything without the guilt or calories!

Plantain Chips

These are seriously the best snack ever. You can crunch them up and put them in salad, or dip them in your fav dip.

Dr. Praeger's California Veggie Burgers

If you're trying to stray away from eating meat but still want protein these are the goat. They use pea protein instead of soy which is so much better for you. Put it on a bun, in a salad, or just by itself for a filling meal.

Avocados

Smashed avocado with Trader Joe's Everything But The Bagel seasoning is the easiest and yummiest breakfast I have ever had.

Cauliflower Rice

Cauliflower Rice

The best side ever with coconut aminos or your own fried rice.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
