Obsessed.

Call me crazy, but one of my favorite things to do is grocery shop. I love not only buying good food, but finding new things to try. These new things usually turn into obsessions though. Seriously, I tend to get so obsessed with certain foods that it's all I eat for a couple of weeks...until I find something new, you know?  So, I thought why not share some of these good finds as well as a few of my staple items with all of you.

Bread:
• Sara Lee 45 Calorie Multi-Grain bread -- 1 pp per slice, 2 pp for 2 slices
• Flatout Light Original wraps -- 2 pp per wrap (these make great chips too -- just cut into small pieces, spray with a little olive oil, sprinkle with salt, and bake at 350 for a few minutes)
• Trader Joe's Par-Baked Pizza Crust -- 6 pp for 1/2 crust, 13 pp for the whole crust (medium size pizza)

Dairy:
• Almond Breeze Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk -- 1 pp per cup (I love making smoothies with this...toss in some frozen fruit, blend, and voila...delicious low point snack)
• Trader Joe's Lite Shredded Mozzarella -- 1 pp for 1/4 cup (tastes like the full-fat version!)
• Dannon Light & Fit Vanilla Greek Yogurt -- 2 pp per cup

Meats:
• Hillshire Farms Mesquite Turkey Breast sandwich meat -- 1 pp for 2 oz (I'm a total deli meat snob, meaning I usually only like fresh sliced meat, but this is really good!)
• Trader Joe's Uncured Peppered Turkey Bacon -- 1 pp per slice (makes one of the best BLTs ever!)
• Perdue Simply Smart Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Cutlets -- 4 pp (love making chicken parmesan with these...add a little tomato sauce and TJ's lite mozzarella and you're good to go!)
• Boca Burger All-American Flame Grilled Veggie Burger -- 3 pp (ok, I know this isn't technically meat, but they might as well be...tastes like a burger to me!)
• Weight Watchers Chicken Burgers -- 3 pp

Dips/Dressings:
• Trader Joe's Reduced-Guilt Guacamole -- 0 pp/1 tbsp, 1 pp/2 tbsp (seriously obsessed with this stuff -- I love putting it on turkey wraps!)
• Bolthouse Farms Yogurt Ranch Dressing -- 1 pp/2 tbsp
• Panera Fat-Free Poppyseed Dressing -- 0 pp/2 tbsp (I buy it from Target)

Dessert:
• Hersey's Sugar-Free Chocolate Syrup -- 0 pp/2 tbsp (love adding this to a bowl of strawberries and banana slices)
• Brownie Brittle -- 3 pp for 1 oz (this stuff is ADDICTING!! you've been warned!)
• Arctic Zero Strawberry "Ice Cream" -- 3 pp per pint (ok, this definitely lacks the creaminess of ice cream, but if I need to have a moment on the couch, watching bad tv and eating directly from the pint, this is my go-to...the chocolate is ok...add some chocolate syrup though...but the strawberry is the best in my opinion...tons of protein in either one!)

Other:
• PB2 -- 1 pp for 2 tbsp (I add an extra drop or two of water if I want to drizzle it on apple slices instead of dipping-- the chocolate version is delish as well!)

Have you found something worth trying? I would love to hear about it!
