Yesterday I had a very exciting day of trying two new products.
You know me I tend to eat the same old stuff day in and day out so to me two new things in one day is BIG!
The morning started off with my typical green monster shake however there were some changes.
Instead of using Amazing Grass I used my new Vega Whole Food Optimizer:
I have been wanting to try this product for a while now. I like the idea that it has all the “green” food plus maca plus chlorella and protein all in one. And vegetarian sources of protein to boot.
I ended up using one scoop of Vega, almond milk, almond butter, flax seed, 1 banana and frozen berries:
I think this morning I will use half of scoop instead and omit the almond butter and add spinach.
It was very thick and much more filling than my usual mix. But it tasted good!
Last night our dinner was created around this second new product:
My mother in law from Fit and Sixty turned us on to these egg white salads. They have quite a few varieties at TJ’s. We decided this one would be good in a salad.
First I made a delicious mix of all things veggie:
Bill sautéed some asparagus in an olive oil blend:
Topped the salad with sun-dried tomatoes and the egg white salad mix:
All together now with the asparagus:
It was delicious!
We ate while catching up on some Dexter episodes.
Any Dexter fans out there?
Have you tried any worthy new products lately I should know about?
Hope you have a great Tuesday!
I love Dexter! Last season’s ending was crazy! I recently tried those Bare Fruit Snacks. They are soooo yummy
Oh my God that salad is making my mouth water! So colorful and delicious! I’m definitely checking out that egg salad!
I’m so happy to hear you watch Dexter! I am in love with the show. So sad the season’s over. Enjoy it my friend!
Man, you make the BEST salads. That looks delicious! I will have to try the Vega stuff in my smoothies sometimes.
Honestly Kalli, I want to come to your house for dinner!!! You make my mouth water with your veggies and salads!!
I’ve never seen these egg white salads before at TJ’s but I think sometimes I get tunnel vision, I go in and grab the stuff I always grab and don’t take the time to LOOK and see what else they have.
And I love Dexter!!! I haven’t watched in a while so I have no idea what is going on but LOVE that show!
Have a great day!!

I have really been into fig greek yogurt this week!
Hmmm, I need to try the Vega product and beautiful food pics! I am a huge Dexter fan, a little shocked at how last season ended and can’t wait for the next season.
How did you like the egg white salad? I love the one with the chives. I’ll have to try that one:-)

I’ve been wanting to look into that vega product too. Boy your salad looks chock full of goodness!! mmm I’ve never tried TJ’s egg salad, I really like TJ’s
Have a good week!
I haven’t tried the egg salad but your salad makes me want to run down and pick some up!
I recently tried TJ’s Salsa Authentica and it was surprisingly good. I usually stick to their Peach Salsa but this was quite good too. Also, I bought Sunflower Butter yesterday and it is delicious.
Never heard nor have I seen that egg white salad. How interesting. Wonder if we can get it in Upstate, NY? Looks great.
Oh YUM! They both look good, but that salad looks DELISH!
a great use for that egg white salad! i haven’t seen dexter but we just got shotime so maybe i will start…
Me, me, me! Dexter is a fave! You just wait until the end of this most recent season…
Thanks for the topical vitamin c powder. Love it. Also thanks for the card and the book!

MMm Vega!!! I love the vanilla chia flavour
It is full of vitamins and nutrients and makes such a wonderful breakfast!
I really need a TJ’s here in Vancouver….I am missing out!
