Ciao, Bella! Kendall here. We are well into month number two of this fantastic new year and just like our elementary school comrades used to chant on the playground...first is the worst, second is the best. Hopefully March won't bring us any hairy chests.
Today I have my favorite Grocery Store Finds that I've created thus far. All of these products have been, or will be now, in my regular kitchen rotation and I cannot wait for you to get your mouths on them.
Now load up the shopping carts and show the rest of February who's boss!
To say I love anything with a crunch would be an understatement. Put these divine Kashi 7 Whole Grain Nuggets on top of smoothies, yogurt, with cold milk, or poured straight into your mouth for a full on crunch fest.
I bought this bar last week as part of my mama's birthday gift, and as soon as she let me taste it I immediately felt an overwhelming sense of jealousy that I hadn't bought a bar for myself. Taza Chocolate's Organic Sea Salt & Almond Dark Stone Ground Chocolate is easily the best chocolate bar I've ever had. Direct trade and made in the U.S. with outstanding ingredients, it is a must buy. GO!
Hummus is made with chickpeas and so are falafels, so obviously we adore them. Olive Valley's Falafel Patties are all natural, gluten free, and basically melt in your mouth when used as salad toppers or dipped in baba ganoush.
Give me figs or give me death! I'm already in love with the huge bags of Made in Nature's dried figs at Costco, but these Choco Crunch Figgy Pops took my snacking to the next level.
Who needs heavily chemical-ed creams and unnatural sugars when you can get all of the satisfying, creamy joy of ice cream in one beauteous pint of New Barn's Organic Coffee Almond Creme?! Not I.
Foodie friends, I have found the JACKPOT. I bought Wildbrine's Fermented Probiotic Japanese Kimchi because it was on sale and I'd been hearing about this magical Asian delicacy more and more lately. The flavor is out of this world and I've been putting it on salads, eating it with fried eggs, and even as snacks with carrots and hummus!
It's no secret that Purely Elizabeth is the queen of fantastic products, and this Cranberry Pumpkin Seed Ancient Grain Oatmeal is no different! This crazy college gal has got to have her quick, on the go foods to grab in a pinch so this will definitely be a new staple.
Feast on!
XOXO, Kendall
jordan @ dancing for donuts says

Kendall says
Girl, you will LOVE them.
Casey the College Celiac says
Those fig balls (now that's a word I never thought I'd type) look AMAZING!
Kendall says
Haha! Fig balls...yep guess it's a thing now. Try em, they're divine.
Meah says
Crunchy cereal and cold almond milk. YES. PLEASE. I have a bar of that Taza I got as a gift waiting for me in my cabinet so I think you've inspired me to go try it out... 😉 .
xxMeah
Kendall says
Name a more iconic duo. And wow yes go go go!
Beth says
Can you please tell us what store you found these products? Especially the falafel and oatmeal,
Kendall says
They are both at Whole Foods and Market District (a great grocery chain in Ohio)!
Tracey says
Is the kimchi vegan? I bought one recently then realized it had shrimp and beef stock in it...! But would love to try one free of animal products! 🙂
Kendall says
Yes, this one is vegan!
Kelly says
I won't lie--I tried the Almond Creme ice cream at Whole Foods (chocolate flavor, I think) and my husband and I thought it was terrible :/ Maybe the coffee flavor is better...However, the Wildbrine kimchi I can get behind. Love that stuff! I think the curry sauerkraut they make with cauliflower is my fav!
Kendall says
Hmm I haven't tried the chocolate one! And WOWZA that sauerkraut sounds amazing I must find it.
Sam @ Hygge Wellness says
I have to find those falafel! They look so good. Thanks for sharing!
Kendall says
Falafel over EVERYTING. Thanks for reading 🙂 I got these at Whole Foods!
Fanny says
Great stuff! Not sure I can find them in my South Texas area, but I'll certainly try~
Kendall says
Thanks for reading! 🙂
ACKTIVE LIFE says
That Kashi cereal is calling my name...Love that is called "nuggets" and I can only imagine how crunchy it is...YES PLEASE!
Kendall says
It is AMAZING. All about that crunch, girl.
