Healthy Eating On-The-Go

by Claudia posted to Food & Drink | 3,146 views

Like most of us, we all have a busy lifestyle and not much time to plan out home cooked meals. This is where Trader Joe's comes into play. I've compiled a list of some "on-the-go" food ideas that can be used as meals or a healthy snack. Enjoy!

California Veggie Burgers

California Veggie burgers have a lot of flavor and different ingredients. The only set back in this burger is that it gets very soft when you microwave/or toast it. Just use a fork when eating it and problem solved!

Also another great item to keep in the freezer. I have many days where I don't bring lunch. Instead of spending $$ eating out this is a great meal idea that you can have with sweet potato spears or make into an actual burger.

Eggplant Wrap

For eggplant lovers this is a quick and easy meal idea!

Just tried this wrap for the first time last week as I was looking for a healthier meal. Came across this and loved it! The spicy tzatziki sauce was also full of flavor...yumm

Egg Whites In A Carton

Trader Joe's and State Bros. sell pasteurized egg whites in 16-oz. cartons.  What has all the benefits of eggs and none of the drawbacks? Egg whites.

This is a fast and easy way to get your protein in during that morning rush. I recently bought to make at work in the microwave and it taste great. Just add your personal condiments and you are set!

Fire Roasted Vegetables and Balsamic Butter Sauce

I found these veggies in the freezer section at my local Trader Joe's and the words "balsamic butter" landed this bag in my cart. I was excited about the mix of veggies and the idea of having a rea...

I have found these to be super convenient when you need that extra snack. They work great with salad and there is no need to peel. It's all done for you! Also great before/after working out to keep you satisfied while giving you some needed protein.

I just bought these at traders joe's and love eating them with a side of egg whites. It keeps you full and satisfied. I wouldn't recommend the "tj's" brand of these patties. Definitely go with the morning star and heat in oven for crispy flavor.

Sweet Potato Spears at Trader Joe's

These are the perfect snack similar to carrots but you can also toss them in a mini-oven to get that crispy taste. A great side dish for your lunch/dinner or even a snack. Very simple and not much planning involved.

Looking for a new healthy breakfast??? This one is healthy and has a little crunch to it since its not your ordinary oatmeal! Add fresh fruit, raisins, honey to boost the flavor. Very filling and full of nutrients!
