Trader Joes Food Haul!

Trader Joes Food Haul!

Hey POPsters!

Here is my new Trader Joes food haul video! I had so much fun grocery shopping. It’s like literally one of my most favorite things to do. What’s even better than shopping at TJ’s or Whole Foods though is Farmer’s Market shopping in the summer! OMG. Best ever. Buying fresh food locally under the sun? Yes please!

Just some brussel sprouts action!

Wow, so the DVD cover contest is over! Side Plank by Diandra won the popular votes contest (thanks to everyone who voted) but now, I must consult with the friends, other fitness professionals, and my family to see what they think and tally it all up. It’s 50% your votes and 50% judges’ scores. Once we make that decision (soon) I will let you know who the winner is and who gets a new graphic design gig, new oGorgeous gym bag, and the chance to have their work published on the first ever POP Pilates DVD to be distributed world wide! Oh man. Fun times ahead!

Also…was wondering if we have some entrepreneurs out there making cool things that are also POPsters? If you have a store (or maybe your friend or sister) link to your/their online shop place it in the comments below and tell me what it is you make. I’ll tell you more later if this vision comes to fruition 😉

Okay time to sleep! Talk to you more when I post the new Livestrongwoman Pilates Bootcamp video!

<3 Cassey

Oh! BTW – what else should I buy for my next food haul? Anything weird or crazy?

  1. Hi Cassey! I love your blog!! ps- I have gotten addicted to tea recently too. I quit coffee and feel SO much better.

    I’m on my way to being an entrepreneur..I think?! I have a t-shirt shop online at rivas.spreadshirt.com. But have some big plans to work on over my winter break…my mom is a tailor, so we plan on making some cool gym bags and totes. I also plan on designing some cute planners. I hope my dreams end up happening where that is concerned!

    I am also a health and fitness blogger…feel free to check out my blog! =)

    When you go buy food at supermarkets like trader joes and stuff do you look for non-GMO products or not care about the fact?

    Another option to the black bean dip I tried is Trader Joe’s Red Pepper spread. It has a sweet hint to it and is mildly spicy. Soo goood, it goes good with everything, even pasta

  5. Cassie, I can’t wait to hear what you’re cooking up. I am actually quite a DIY-er, but I haven’t actually opened shop yet. Check out some of my fitness-related DIYs here:

    I love your food haul this week! I came home yesterday to my old roommate making our new roommate creamy tomato soup and grilled cheese. It totally united them, it was adorable.

    I’m an entrepreneur trying to get to the place you are where I can live my passion full time. My work can be found at http://www.lonewolfaccents.com — perfect for showing off everyone’s new blogilates body!

    I just recently moved to an area with a Trader Joes. It’s been fun picking up healthier foods there. I’m pondering buying all my groceries there and trying to eat mostly organic foods.

    I’m a portrait artist and I accept commissions via my blog. 🙂 http://mary-elizabeth.daportfolio.com/gallery/486106

    Haha the way you said “rooibos” was sooo funny. The first time you said it, it was the right way to pronounce it btw (I’m Dutch, so I know ;)) We drink it a lot in Holland, it’s so good and healthy!

  10. Katie says:

    What is your opinion on cactus pears? I bought some at the store the other day, curious about them. I didn’t like it, but wasn’t sure if I was eating when it was ripe or if I should cook with it (I just ate it raw).

  11. Looove the color of your pants! Purple is awesome 🙂 Where are they from??

  12. Noa says:

    You should try carob spread! It’s EXTREMELY DELICIOUS!!!!!

  13. Jess says:

    Hi Cassey!! TJ’s is so the best 🙂

    I don’t own the company, but I work for sweatvac.com, and we do athletic apparel (a lot of shirts & headgear) with a focus on moisture wicking material…great stuff 🙂

    Awesome food haul video! I just made my shopping list for next Sunday. Hope to find some of these goodies at my Trader Joe’s. Been a little rough out here on the east coast because of Sandy but hoping things will get better soon.

  16. Alisha says:

    Yellow tomatoes are the best! I really like the wasabi flavoured seaweed snacks because it helps me to slow down when I eat them.
    I complain a lot about not having access to the same things in Canada as they have in America, but now I feel lucky that I can have all these interesting foods that you find so surprising on a regular basis.
    Last night I made pumpkin chips! Thinly slice pumpkin, spray with Pam, sprinkle with seasoning, bake in the oven at 375F for about 12 minutes, flipping halfway. Yum!

    Looks like you got some good stuff at TJ’s! I wish we had one where I live!

    My favourite way to eat brussels sprouts is with chestnuts. Steam the chestnuts until they’re almost cooked then half or quarter them if they’re large ones and saute them in a little olive oil with lots of sliced pre-cooked chestnuts. It’s delicious!

    I live in Japan, so we do not have a trader joes or Whole foods. Which makes me sad..When I was living in the states I would always go to Trader Joes and Whole foods.

    I love tea. It definitely does calm me down.
    We have a lot of NORI (seaweed) in Japan 🙂

    Rooibos, pronounced ‘roo-boss’ is a South African tea; lots of health benefits and caffeine free 🙂 Thanks for the very entertaining vid Cassey, as always!!
