5 things you need from Trader Joes (that isn't pumpkin flavored)

Linking up with the loveliest of bloggers at Sept Farm, Meet At The Barre and A Liz Adventures for this Fridays post.


1 Shaved Brussels Sprouts 

If you are super new to brussels like myself, these are great! I chop and fry up a piece of bacon then throw my brussels on until they are nice a crispy. Brussels freak me out so this simple, pre shaved bag is my kind of heaven.

2 Coconut Oil 

There are so many uses for coconut oil aside from cooking with it. I have been using it to cook apples on the stove and sub as butter. At the 5.99 price point you can't go wrong.

3 PB cups

Dare I say better than Reeses cups? I mean seriously, these are 100% better than Reeses cups.

4 Kale & Spinach Greek Yogurt Dip

Perfect with carrots and cucumbers. So delicious and low cal. You might want to buy two containers.

5 Pineapple Salsa

Yaaaasss. I put salsa on everything so I'm always trying different salsas and this one is totally a winner.

WHEW. It was hard to not put anything pumpkin on that list. If you didn't know this, there is life outside of pumpkin flavored things. 

Aside from Trader Joe's, other PCE Friday random updates. If you LURV Athleta like I do, all of their sale items are 20% off right now. All the chaturanga pants!!!

This week was max week at my box. I PRd my back squat #225, front squat #180, bench #120 and power clean #140 this week. I hit some great numbers in my opinion. Nothing super impressive compared to seasoned crossfitters.
