Apple Cider Vinegar Blends from BRAGG

I’ve been using BRAGG Apple Cider Vinegar for many years, I’m so excited to try the
Citrus Ginger and Orange Tart Cherry blends. Plus, the convenience of the Apple Cider Vinegar Shot. I love that BRAGG provides so many amazing benefits for all of my wellness needs. I started using BRAGG products during my natural hair journey over ten years ago and throughout the years, I learned so much about all of the amazing benefits and uses. I love how now I do not have the hassle of taking my daily dose of Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar for my wellness needs. The instant boosted flavor provides zero hassle, I can simply add two tablespoons to hot water and enjoy! Plus, it’s perfect in other recipes too.

• Citrus Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties.
• Orange Tart Cherry has immunity-boosting properties.

Up until two years ago, I would have to drive thirty minutes to my closest Trader Joes. Trust me, I enjoyed the drive, and it was actually directly across from my childhood mall, so I really enjoyed going there. About two years ago, Trader Joe’s was built about 10 to 15 minutes away from me. I was super excited, and of course, it has been my go-to Trader Joe’s ever since. If you follow me on Instagram you know I rave about these products during my shopping trips. Below, I’m sharing my Vegan Frozen Foods Favorites at Trader Joe's.

Trader Joe's Vegan Frozen Foods Favorites 

Kung Pao Tempura Cauliflower 
This is a newbie to my collection. I’m so happy that I’ve stumbled about it though.


Trader Joe’s Vegetable Fried Rice 
This has been my goto ever since I started shopping at Trader Joes. This rice is so yummy, I typically enjoy it by itself.


Trader Joe’s Vegetable Gyoza 
I tried this for the first time last year and I’ve been hooked ever since. I typically will purchase a couple of bags during my shopping trip. These are so good. I typically pair them with a homemade garlic sauce.

Refrigerator  Items 

Trader Joe’s Cinnamon Rolls (Not a frozen item, but close enough) 
So this isn’t a frozen item, and you actually CAN’T put it in the freezer. However, I tried this for the first time over the holidays, and I have to have a can on hand. These babies are so soft and yummy.

Trader Joe's Sausage-Less Sausage
This is another item that's not typically frozen. However, once I arrive home, I typically place it in the freezer until I'm ready to use it. I typically will cook the entire pack for meal prepping.

LightLife Smart Dogs
This has been another goto for years, I will typically separate the pack to, portions of two.

 One of my biggest concerns, when I booked my cruise, was the food. Though I knew people who were avid cruisers. I know how picky I can be when it comes to food. I can say that I was pleasantly surprised by all of my food choices and meals. I ate every evening and morning in the dining hall. Throughout the day I would snack at the deli or indulge in veggie tortillas. Unfortunately, I didn’t have the opportunity to try the pizza, and my son never got around to trying out the BBQ restaurant.

Upon arriving on board the food was being served. That was another question I had. I wasn’t sure if the food was provided upon boarding the ship. It was!! The buffet wasn’t open. However, all of the grab and go restaurants were available. There are also plenty of blog posts and YouTube videos dedicated to food on cruise ships. Below, I’m sharing some of what my son and I ate during our cruise.
