Plant-Based Finds

I am not plant-based and I don’t do fake meats or soy but I do like some of the newer plant-based products.

Just Egg

Just Egg is a plant-based Egg Substitute made of mung beans.  I’ve been curious about this product ever since I heard an ad for it on one of my favorite podcasts.

I scrambled these as you would a regular egg and it tasted okay.  I started mixing one egg with the Just Egg just for consistency purposes.

I think this is a great alternative if you’re plant-based but to be perfectly honest, I am going to stick with Whole Eggs because of the nutrients and vitamins.  The only time I think I will buy this if I am doing the Daniel Fast.

I found this product at Whole Foods for $3.99.

Banza Chickpea pasta

I have found some Non Wheat pasta to be soggy, mushy, and not so appetizing. This pasta which is made from chickpeas is firm and tastes great!  I used it to make spaghetti and I was very impressed.

I bought this pasta at Sprouts but I saw that it is also available at Target.

Quick Snacks and Meals

I’m on the go quite a bit and sometimes there is no time to stop for food or there are no healthy options available so I’m not above drinking Protein shakes.

The issue is that many shakes are filled with not-so-great ingredients or they are not kind to your stomach.

I found these on sale at Costco and have been enjoying them.  Easy on the stomach, plant-based, and taste good.  Definitely part of my rotation

Extras!

Super Creamer

Non-Alcoholic Drinks

It’s kinda like Ginger Ale for Grown-ups.  This is a fun drink to have at gatherings for people who don’t drink alcohol.  Sweet and Refreshing to have at your next Cookout and BBQ

I avoid most Iced Coffee drinks because they contain so much sugar, fat, and calories.  I do like caramel flavor though so enter Super Coffee.

Super Coffee contains MCT Oil which is a good fat to keep you satisfied and provided Blood Sugar Crashes.  Speaking of Sugar, super coffee is sweetened with monk fruit which may not produce as much of an insulin spike as! regular table sugar.

This is my Go-To Cold Coffee Drink for Hot Weather

Adult Beverages

Simpler Wines, Trader Joes

I love these little wines!  They have such great flavors and they are great for a picnic or gathering with friends. My favorite flavors are Peach, White, and Mango.  They also have Rose wine.  Definitely an awesome Trader Joe’s find.

Bev Wine

After hearing an ad on one of my favorite podcasts, I was curious about these wines because they don’t have added sugar in them.  I have tried the Sauvignon Blanc and while a bit dry, I think they are refreshing and not overly sweet.  It’s a nice little treat if you’d like to have a glass of wine and you’re conscious of sugar.

I found mine at Target but they offer variety packs online.

As an added plus this company is woman-owned!

Underwood The Bubbles

This is a great light carbonated wine to pair with a light snack, a cheese plate, fruit, or just a nice treat on a warm day.  I discovered this while on vacation in Hawaii at the ABC store.  I will be on the lookout in the mainland for this yummy treat!

Vitamins and Supplements

Good Belly Probiotic Shot

I was having some Gastrointestinal issues due to an infection and my gut bacteria being completely out of wack. and I started taking probiotics and let me tell you the situation turned around.  I now have Textbook Bowel Movements.  (Get over it…This is one way to gauge your health.

I am now a weekly avid Probiotic taker along with eating Yogurt.  This particular brand is (surprisingly) affordable at Whole Foods.
