Sprouts Favorites + Meal Plan + Grocery List
September 30, 2018
If you spend more than an hour with me you will quickly find out that I'm a true snack queen. Sprouts has fueled my snack obsession into over time. Literally I snack 24/7. Snacks are their own food group!
I use to shop religiously at Kroger when I was diagnosed with celiac disease but since a Sprouts opened up in Augusta, GA I have realized that my bill has come out to be significantly cheaper than anywhere else. They always have a great sale going on plus if you go on Wednesday's you can take advantage of last weeks sale and the current weeks sale. Last week they had a huge BOGO sale on pretty much everything that makes my tummy so v'happy!
Sprouts' Must Haves
Coconut Rolls - these have become a must have our household. I have to practice extreme self-control when snacking on them because I'll eat the whole bag within 15 minutes. I love both flavors but the chocolate is my all time fav. Also I like to pretend they are cigars...LOL!
Banana Chips - I've just recently discovered these and they are SO freaking delicious. Easy to grab + go with especially when I'm working! A cheaper option would be to buy these from the bulk section...I don't know if they are gluten free so I avoid but if you aren't psycho sensitive to cross contamination go for it!
Plantain Chips - I snack on these all the time. A nice alternative to potato chips and so freaking delicious. I've gotten all of my coworkers hooked on these as well. My favorite is the picante flavor.
Hummus - I will always love a good hummus but this one is mainly because of Eric. He snacks on hummus whenever he needs a little extra boost. He always goes for the chipotle flavor and he eats tortilla chips with them.
Strawberry & Peanut Butter Bites - these are like a PB&J sandwich but miniature.
Dark Chocolate Covered Bananas - these are ah-mazing and great when you are craving something sweet.
Solero Fruit Pops - I keep these stocked up in my freezer. They're absolutely delicious! I love the raspberry & pineapple ones.
Zevia - you can get these just about anywhere BUT they are worth mentioning up here because they are always on sale + such a great alternative to sodas.

Travel Essentials: Weekend Trip
September 27, 2018
I'm all about a good weekend trip. 9 times out of 10 I will always choose to make a trip for the weekend. I try to save my longer vacations for the holidays. Plus ya girl can't handle being away from her sweet pups for too long.
HERE'S WHAT YOU NEED:
1. Sweater / Cardigan
Even if it is 100 degrees out, I assure you that I will have a cardigan with me. I've lived in South Carolina for 10 plus years so ya girl can handle some heat but I absolutely hate being cold. I also hate being super hot too. I'm clearly a complex person. *This cardigan is from Swank located in Augusta, GA
2. Apps for GF travel
Most of you know that I have celiac disease, if you are new to the blog then this is brand new information! With celiac disease comes extreme planning...especially when it comes to where I'm going to eat at. I use the app Find Me GF all of the time. You can search for gluten free restaurants based on your location. It has saved me so much time and anxiety!
3. Face Spray / Makeup Bag
Being stuck in a car for however long while you travel can kinda be a major struggle on your skin. I always keep a facial spray in my bag but I triple check that I have one when I'm on the road. Nothing gives you that little extra boost like this one. Also can any women really go out of town without her makeup bag?
4. Snacks
Snacccccccccks. I'm a major snack queen! If you ever run into me, I'm sure that my bag will have some sort of snack in it. They are so essential to road trips. These peanut butter & jelly bites from Sprouts have been my go to recently. Not only are the snacks good for the car but they are also great for the hotel room!
5. Music playlist
I feel like this has to be really obvious. Every trip should have great music going along with it. I have Apple Music and it's my all time favorite. Some of my favorite artist for road trips are: Hootie & the Blowfish, Florence + the Machine, Beyonce, and Lauren Daigle to name a few.
