Product review: I love a good healthy granola but don’t often make the time to bake my own. Since it’s the Fall season, thought I’d try Trader Joes Pumpkin Spice Granola. After cutting up a peach and pouring homemade almond milk, I left the bowl for a few minutes to take care of something, by the time I got back to it the granola was mostly soft and mushy. Tuck! Not my favorite as I prefer the crunch of a good firm granola mixture. Probably won’t get this one again.
Product review: Gotta love Trader Joe’s sauces that allow for a quick cook meal. Their Indian sauces are some of my favorites, especially the Masala Simmer Sauce. This was my first time cooking seitan and it was delicious and the texture was like a soft chicken. Simmering the seitan in the masala was a snap. Served over basmatirice made for a quick and easy vegan dinner that even @glttrgrl enjoyed! I look forward to cooking with Seitan again.
While the coconut milk soup was tasty, the vegetables offered nothing. Perhaps cooked too long or the soup was too flavorful, the veggies were soft and flavorless. There wasn’t nearly enough veggies or noodles to make this a full meal. For a quick freezer meal, I won’t be picking this one up again. Sorry, but back to the drawing board Trader Joes.
Uh, yummmm! Vegan coconut milk ice cream from Trader Joes. Perfect way to end a long day.
Question: What is best quick breakfast for early morning flight?
Answer: Smoothie with protein to-go.
It’s pretty hard to find vegan cookies, but Trader Joe’s has a few yummy options. Their Trail Mix and Chocolate Chip cookies are my favorites!
