Supermarket GPS: September Brand Favorites
Being in your twenties brings enough treachery—whether it’s studying for exams, applying for jobs, dodging a nagging boss, swiping right on a dating app, or dealing with an existential crisis (what even is my purpose in life?!?!)—navigating the aisles at the supermarket should be one less stress on your mind.
I’m here to help you stay healthy and well-fed so you can focus all of your mental energy on other things—like if you have the time to commit to a Netflix series or if you should just skip that spin class tonight for happy hour.
Below is a list of my favorite brands with a fall twist because September has arrived and Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice season is upon us.
Freedom Bars
Minimal-ingredient bars to keep you fueled through all of your apple picking extravaganzas. Or, you know, keep you focused at work. These bars are soft + chewy, with the perfect nutty crunch. Fall Flavor Favs: Apple Cinnamon + Peanut Butter
Bon Butters
Artisanal nut butters without the added oils. Their nut butters include peanut, almond, cashew, pecan, hazelnut + walnut with 14 unique flavors. Fall Flavor Favs: Brown Sugar Walnut + Cinnamon Maple Walnut + Cinnamon Cashew
Simple Kneads GF Bread
Not your average GF bread. Soft and flavorful, it actually holds its own in a sandwich. Other GF breads are typically dry, crumbly + tasteless. The best part? It’s all natural ingredients and totally vegan! Fall Flavor Favs: Pumpernickel + Quinoa Power Grains
Blessed Protein
Plant-based protein without the anticipated belly bloat. This protein has become a staple in my smoothies and oatmeal bowls. Not only does it add the perfect sweetness, it makes everything extra #thiccc + creamy. Fall Flavor Favs: Vanilla Chai + Salted Caramel
Simple Mills
Quick + easy boxed almond flour mixes ready to bake in minutes. Any of their baking mixes can be made veganized by using a vegan egg replacement or vegan butter. The best part? You can pronounce every ingredient in the box. Fall Flavor Favs: Pumpkin Bread + Banana Bread
Early Bird Granola
Salty + sweet without the processed garbage. This is the perfect granola for topping on a smoothie bowl or dairy-free ice cream and it’s not in giant clusters that crack your teeth trying to bite into. Pro-tip: grind up in a blender with some vegan butter and you’ve got yourself some pie crust! Fall Flavor Favs: Farmhand’s Choice + Gets The Worm
