Fun Foods from Costco!

While WHOLE foods are always best, here are three awesome items from Costco!  
I'll share a bit about each, and nutrition labels are included too.

Delicious VEGGIE PATTIES!
  • Heat in the microwave in less than a minute
  • Remind me a lot of Indian samosas, a savory fried potato pastry!
  • The first ingredient is spinach and their aren't a lot mysterious ingredients.
  • To kids, they are kind of like nuggets!
  • They are only 120 calories each with 5 grams of fiber!


Veggie Patch Mediterranean Spinach and Chickpea Patties


Tangy GRAPEFRUIT CUPS!


  • Sweetened with grape juice, rather than sugar!
  • 100 calories, and 4 grams of fiber!
  • BONUS: did you know that grapefruit enhances the energizing effects of caffeine?!
  • Note: remember to keep them in your fridge!

Kirkland Signature Red Grapefruit


Addicting CHOCOLATE-COVERED Pretzel Crisps!
  • These rock!
  • You get 5 crisps for one 130-calorie serving
  • It would be wonderful if the pretzels were whole grain or you knew the percentage of cocoa in the chocolate, but really these are just a delicious treat!
  • So it's a lesson on being picky about your treats -- finding things you really love and ENJOYING them!
We ENJOY these! For more on SAVORING, click HERE or HERE for the many benefits of chocolate!

    Six Awesome Almond Products from Costco!

    A buyer for Costco LOVES almonds, and I know why!

    Delicious snacks listed in order from healthiest at the top...
    All are pretty healthy TREATS at the very least, and most even worthy of more frequent snacking!

    All nuts are AWESOME (awesome for energy!), and some nutrition experts would even say that ALMONDS top that list!

    A key to getting the most nutritional bang for your buck is to REPLACE other less healthy fats with NUTS! ...rather than just adding them into your diet without making other changes.

    Almond Products at Costco (other Costco stuff!)


    #1 Raw Almonds




    #2 Dry Roasted Almonds




    #3 Maranatha Almond Butter (no photo)






    #4 Almond Accents

    AWESOME eaten on their own like chips as a snack!  AND even on a small scoop of ice cream! 

    ...you could pretty easily chop up the roasted almonds (purple lid) and add a bit of pepper for a similar snack ...minus the extra ingredients found in this product.




    #5 Dark Chocolate and Almond Bark

    Impressive 3 grams of fiber per serving!





    #6 Thin Addictives

    3 delicious thinly sliced cookies per 100-calorie packet!


    COMMENTS: Are you doing any spring cleaning?  I LOVE getting organized and getting things clean!  You can't beat the sense of accomplishment!  Have any tips to share?  Or other great Costco products to recommend?

    Get Started Right Away!

    Which ONE dietary supplement could you start taking
    which will no doubt make you HEALTHIER in SO MANY different ways?

    It's a super-common deficiency in Americans today, if not the top of the list!

    OMEGA-3 FATS!

    Here's a quick list of 5 awesome benefits:

    1. Increase SMARTS
    2. Improve MOOD
    3. Decrease inflammation -- this affects our WHOLE body
    4. Protect from CANCER and HEART disease
    5. Weight LOSS

    And a fabulous source?



    If you eat lots of wild fish, especially salmon, black cod, sardines, or herring,
    then you are probably in the 1-2% of Americans whose bodies have enough omega-3 fats.

    If not, get yourself a fish oil supplement right away!

     You can find a SAFE and HIGH QUALITY product at COSTCO for a super deal
    compared to options you'll find elsewhere.

    The key is the USP seal you'll find on the label!



    Kirkland Signature Omega-3 Fish Oil rocks!

     


    USP (United States Pharmacopeia) has been around since before the FDA
    (in fact, it basically was the FDA before the FDA was organized!)!

    USP is a non-profit organization which tests and ensures purity (NO CONTAMINANTS) and potency (that there is NO MORE OR NO LESS than what is listed on the label)
    of dietary supplements!

    IMPORTANT: Read more HERE about DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS!!
