Some of our staples that we get at TJ’s are:

whole grain tortillas w/ flaxseed (so much yummier than plain ones!)
frozen blueberry waffles
sesame bagels
different flavors of chicken sausage
pizza shells
frozen chicken burritos
frozen edamame
chocolate pudding (yum!!)
cottage cheese
organic tomato soup–very rich & creamy
different kinds of whole grain pasta w/ flaxseed
pesto–so good
reduced sugar strawberry jelly
unsweetened applesauce
french baguettes
cooked black beluga lentils (you just throw them in w/ something bean-y and it adds a ridiculous amount of fiber)
chocolate Joe-Joe’s (oreos) yummy!!

ha, ha…that you tube video was cute! Some people get their inspiration in the most unusual of places. I need to correct my favorites list after watching the video, though…I put the asian sorbet balls in the yummy flavors, but they are really asian ice cream balls “covered in flour,” he says. I felt proud something from my list made his song!

OMG- i have a lot of faves from tj’s as I go there often:

fig breakfast bars -less sugar than most and whole wheat flour
trail mix granola bar- a granola bar that actually has fiber and protein- there are whole almonds and cranberries in the bar. The kids love them too b/c there are little choco.chips on top
tj’s brand all natural nitrate free hotdogs- expensive but worth it to me
brushetta mix- really good for an app to go somewhere w/ french bread
frozen waffles- the blueberry ones have the most fiber and protein. I make for the kids and sprinkle ground flax seed meal on top. It sticks to the syrup and gives them a serving of omega 3′s and they have no idea!
I have many, many more but I am only 1 aisle in to the store so maybe I should stop:-)
