WIAW: New Foodie Finds.

This week for WIAW I thought I'd switch it up a bit and share a few of the new foods that I've been enjoying lately! There's been a couple of really good finds - mostly at Trader Joe's - that I'm super excited to share with you guys.

Up first: TJ's White Bean and Basil Hummus.

This stuff is thick, creamy and SO flavorful! It tastes a lot like pesto sauce to me, except it's healthier and has a more tangy flavor. I bet it would be awesome stirred into some pasta - planning on trying that later this week!

I've been dipping carrots into it, eating it straight out of the container (it's that good!), and the other day I had toast with the hummus and eggs. Definitely one of my current favorite breakfasts!

Next: PB2.

It's definitely caught on around the blog world but after reading a ton of posts about it I really wanted to get some for myself. I was this close to ordering it online when I happened to notice it was in a local grocery store called Lunardi's for $5 - the same price as it was online, without the shipping!

I was a little nervous about how it would taste since I've tried peanut flour before and wasn't a fan - but somehow the PB2 was a LOT better! It definitely has a really good nutty flavor with a hint of sweetness that I wasn't expecting. I also love how you can make it as thick or as drippy as you like, and there's 5g of protein per serving.

I've been enjoying it slathered on bananas with chocolate chips (my own version of ants on a log!), dipping apples in it, and eating it plain. I love making it really thick and just eating it with a spoon- for some reason it's super satisfying!

#3: TJ's Pizza Parlano (with italian sausage, uncured pepperoni, roasted peppers, and roasted onions)

This pizza was really good and full of flavor! The ingredients list had foods that I recognized (I don't buy pizzas with meat unless the meat is minimally processed), and for once the actual outcome looked like the pictures on the box, haha!

It was perfect for a quick and easy dinner, and I will definitely be buying it again!

#4: Clif Crunch White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Bars.

I've been on a huge white chocolate macadamia nut kick and these bars are amazing. They're perfectly sweet and crunchy - perfect for satisfying my raging sweet tooth in a healthy way! 

They're even better when smeared with some nut butter (although what isn't better with nut butter??) 

And lastly: Trader Joe's Refried Beans with Jalapeño Peppers. 

Kind of random, but I'm a huge bean-lover and these are some of the best refried beans I've ever had. They're not too spicy, and they have just the perfect amount of flavor. My dad, the other bean-lover in the family, really liked these too! 

I've been making omelets with the beans, shredded mexican cheese, and salsa - mmmmmm!
