Today, I went shopping with my diet restrictions in line for the first time. Originally I wanted to only spend $40 because that is what I had on my gift card, but I ended up spending around $52. So, here is what I got!
first of all, I got a LOT of granola. The one on the left is cinnamon and oat clusters and the one on the right is apple cinnamon, with dehydrated apple pieces. The KIND granola was $3.99 and the Love Crunch Granola was $4.29. I've only tried the apple cinnamon granola so far, and it's delicious!
Next, I got three KIND bars, one with nuts and two with dark chocolate and nuts (I can't help eating chocolate sometimes, and I figure it should be dark chocolate, since it has antioxidants) These were 3/$5.00 and they are very good. I plan on having the granola bars as an after school snack and the granola with milk or just having a handful for breakfast.
Next are all of the drinks I got. On the far left are two flavors of Vita CoCo Coconut Water, in Peach Mango and Orange Respectively. I've had the Peach Mango before and I LOVE it and I'm excited to try the Orange flavor because I love anything orange. They were $2.00 each.
Next is Almond Breeze Almond Milk. I have tried this and I like it alright, I think it will be better with something else, like granola or raw cereal. This was 2.59.
Next, I found this organic Orgain drink. It's an organic iced mocha and I'm just going to try it and see what I think. This was more of an impulse purchase because it was organic and I wanted to try it. This was $3.59.
Lastly are the Mamma Chia drinks, one in Coconut Mango and one in Cranberry Lemonade. I've had a sip of one and they definitely have a different texture, so we'll see! These were 2/$5.00
These are more snacks that I bought. In the clear bag, I bought 3 apples, and they were $1.79/lb. Then, I got 2 packages of blackberries, and these were 2/$4.00.
Next, I bought edamame, which I LOVE! I'm not completely sure if this is raw, but they are really good for you. These were $3.99.
Next, in the two circular containers I have a tomato salsa which is completely raw and vegan, and a corn salsa that has roasted corn but I'm pretty sure everything else is raw. These were $3.71 all together.
Last but not least, we have two snack items and one item I forgot to take a picture of. Sticking with my ability to eat bagels, I got 2 everything bagels and 1 sesame seed bagel. They were each .79 cents. I figure I can have a half for breakfast each day.
The next item is Tofutti Vanilla Ice Cream, or a dairy free ice cream. This has a LOT of sugar per serving, which I am trying to stay away from so I figure I can just have a spoonful when I'm craving something sweet to curb the craving but keep my sugar intake way down. This was $4.29.
Lastly are these fries that I've loved since before I went on this diet. These are made with sea salt, are all natural, and are vegan. These are for when I have salty cravings. These were $2.99.
So, while I didn't succeed with my budget and while I am trying to get all raw food, it's definitely hard, but I can pat myself on the back for resisting the temptation to fill my cart with Oreos. That's all for today, I hope you all enjoyed this post and I hope you all have a great day!
