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

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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
