Recent Faves...edibles edition

I am trying to be strategic in my grocery shopping lately and buy both somewhat healthy items that are also tasty.  So I thought I would share what I am loving lately.  
 I am loving combining turkey sausage with Laughing Cow cheese.  I just heat up the meat in a skillet and have added mustard and onion and a wedge or two of the Laughing Cow.
 I have become obsessed with Greek Yogurt.  No particular brand really...I will usually buy what is on sale.  This week Yoplait was 77 cents and I had a coupon so it made them 67 cents each which is a steal.  Most of the time the Greek Yogurts are a dollar each so anything less than that and I'm happy!
 I like to eat the Greek Yogurt as is but I have been combining them in my protein shakes each morning to add more flavor to the shake.  I can't be without almond coconut milk and frozen strawberries to include in my shake with the yogurt and protein powder.
 I have seriously grown to love sweet potatoes.  Wal-Mart sells this bag of 6 to 7 petite sweet potatoes for around 2.50.  That is a great deal.


 Every time I am in Gerbes I have to pick up this dark chocolate bar with Cranberry, Citrus, and Honey.  It is amazing.  I don't love many dark chocolates but this one is soooo good.
 I discovered this in Hyvee and almost jumped for joy in the aisle!  The Blueberry and Cream oatmeal has always been my favorite out of the fruit variety box and I always wanted them to make a box of just this flavor.  I finally discovered it!  A wish come true.
I didn't open this very well so I tore half the label...but this is BCAA's from BPI Sports in fruit punch.  Most BCAA's are in watermelon flavor or blue raspberry...and I despise watermelon flavored things.  The other ones I have tried have been awful.  So when I found a fruit punch flavor I was hesitantly optimistic.  I was super excited when I actually liked the flavor!  BCAA's are great to drink before, during, or after a workout to aid in muscle recovery and decrease fatigue and soreness.  I always choked down the gross BCAA's so I'm happy to have some that I don't have to chug.

Those are my most recent edible faves!  On another note I'm excited for fall weather!  I am over the summer heat for sure.
