Whole Foods: Take II

Happy Labour Day!

Glo bars have a sexy new backside ;)

All of the glo bars are going to have the full nutritional information, in addition to the ingredients, on the back label.

I also updated the nutritional info for Endure, Zen, Harmony, and Refresh Glo Bars! Check it out here.

Eric and I were in desperate need of groceries so we made a special trip to Costco and Whole Foods!

Here is what I got at Whole Foods:

I really had to control myself because it could have gotten very much out of hand!

• Dandelion…mmmmm
• 2 Yellow zucchini
• 2 Sweet potatoes
• 8 carrots

• Black kale (bottom right)
• Regular kale
• 4 hot house tomatoes

• Bag of garbanzo beans (to make hummus)
• Can anyone name this green one?

• Organic banana chips (possible new glo bar ingredient?!)
• Organic Extra Firm Tofu

• 5 apples
• Nourishtea Japanese Sencha Loose Leaf (this was the only loose leaf they had)
• Neal Brothers Tomato and Basil Spaghetti Sauce
• 365 Organic Pasta Sauce
• Pumpkin
• Organic Pumpkin Seed Butter (another possible Glo bar ingredient)

• 2 cans pizza sauce
• Natural Choice Full of Fruit Popsicles (Same brand as the coconut kind only strawberry)
• Sambazon Acai Smoothie Packs (100% frozen Acai puree)

And Costco:

• 3 rolls parchment paper
• Pure maple syrup (best deal on maple syrup I have found)
• Huge bag of frozen veggies (left)
• Mixed peppers
• 4 unsweetened applesauce

• Organic spinach
• 3 english cukes
• Huge box of Mary’s crackers
• Strawberries
• Big Valley Frozen fruit (for green monsters!!)

• Pears
• Bertolli EVOO

The frozen fruit is divine!!! I can’t wait to throw a few pieces into my green monsters. Very quick and easy, no prep required.

Oh and look what I found in the backseat! We forgot to bring in our new S+P and Zester from our trip to William Ashley’s last week.

Almost as soon as I got home, I made the most delicious green monster.

I lightly microwaved some dandelion, black kale, and regular kale in water for about 2 minutes.

I also added a new Acai smoothie pak!

Nutritional info:

I had a little nibble of the frozen puree and I was a bit surprised that it wasn’t naturally sweet. The GM definitely needed some banana. I used 1/2 a banana, 1/2 c almond milk, 1/2 cup water, and chia seeds.

It doesn’t get much healthier than this!

Yum, yum, yum.

~~~~~~

Stay tuned for the first of two chia seed contests this week! :)

Well, I’m off to do some labour! I’m going to finish my labels, nutrition info, new Glo Bar experiments, and baking a big order up! So much for a day off! I have one mean boss… ;)

Enjoy your Labour Day! Is anyone doing anything fun?

PS- Operation cat bed is NOT going smoothly!
