Guilt Free Snacking

By Carrie Berschman @CarrieBerschman
So its the middle of the week and thus far you have done good eating clean and healthy. But sometimes, when it starts getting closer to the weekend, I tend to want to get off track and eat something a little less healthy to fulfill my cravings for a sweet item. With my whole new "clean eating" regime, when I want something sweet, I want to NOT feel bad about it. All it took was one trip to Trader Joe's to find the answer. 
This first combo is what I like to call the adult version of milk and cookies. I personally don't care for real milk to begin with, so almond milk has been my go-to the last 6-8 months. This vanilla unsweetened almond milk is low cal, completely dairy free as well as gluten and lactose free. However, I drink it not because of the taste, but because I still like to get a little calcium and vitamin D in my diet. My new favorite little sweet treat accompaniment are these gluten free ginger snap cookies. And believe me, they have a more powerful kick of ginger than your grandmas ever did! (Ginger is an acquired taste, but I encourage you to try them!) Go ahead, dunk them in your milk! ;)

Secondly, my other FAVORITE treat are these powerberries. I think a lot of TJ shoppers are fans of these, or so I have read, and I completely understand why! These powerberries are real acai, pomegranate, cranberry and blueberry pieces covered in dark chocolate. They are known for being a great source of vitamin C and antioxidants. These are oh so satisfying to the tastebuds!

What are your favorite Trader Joe's items? I'm starting to become a more frequent shopper and would love some recommendations!
