Beet crackersI love these little crackers with some hummus. They contain flax seeds, which are loaded with nutrients (protein, fiber, omega-3s).

Nutritional yeastThis is an “alternative” to cheese - it does not melt but provides that salty flavor cheese does. It’s great for pastas, tacos, and on popcorn.

Raw almond butter Delicious in oatmeal, on toast, on fruit, or as a spoonful when energy levels are low. Traders offers a lot of nut butters - I like this one the best, it has a great creamy consistency.

Coconut aminosI use this as a soy sauce substitute. It’s gluten-free and full of aminos. It’s delicious on veggies.

Organic greensI love that Traders has stepped up their game when it comes to organic produce. I always grab a bag of spinach (to add into smoothies), and some arugula for my salads (topped with an olive oil & lemon vinaigrette).

Frozen berriesI always have a bag of these in my freezer. During a heatwave, I blend a few berries with ice and oat milk for a healthy dessert, or I throw some in a smoothie. I choose the organic version.

TahiniThis is a great base for sauces and dressings. My go-to is a spoonful of tahini, juice from 1/2 lemon, sea salt, pepper and paprika to top my veggies.

Green JuiceThis is a good substitute if you don’t have time to make your own, or don’t feel like spending $15 on a juice. Filled with deliciousness (and all organic!). The size is perfect too! Beware: it is a bit bitter.
