7 Items I Always Buy at Whole Foods

Whole Foods (WF) is my happy place. I don't exclusively shop at WF because let's be honest....it's pricey. But every few weeks I like to indulge myself and pick up some essentials that I can't find at most grocery stores. Below is a list of my top picks that I recommend whenever you make it to WF!

1. Lemon Hummus

You know this is good because it is CONSTANTLY out of stock. Whenever I go to WF I try to buy two of them because this item is always sold out, so you feel lucky if you can get your hands on it. This hummus is truly unique. It's not overly lemon-y, but definitely has a different flavor than traditional hummus. It's very creamy as well. If you can get your hands on this item I highly recommend it!

2. Chicken Curry Salad

I buy this fresh from the deli section, but they also have some pre-packaged in the refrigerated section. I love a good chicken curry salad, and this one DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. I love putting a scoop of this on salads, making a sandwich with WF fresh baked bread, or just eating it right out of the container. Delicious!

3. Basil Pesto

The basil pesto at WF is surprisingly affordable! It's also so delicious. It's very salty and has a nice nutty kick to it. I love putting this on pasta, chicken and salmon for a beautiful basil flavor.

4. Saint Agur Blue Cheese

This cheese is only for true blue cheese lovers. Those that love a stinky cheese with a kick. This French cheese is buttery, salty, sharp and has a spicy after taste. It's extremely creamy and spreads beautifully on breads. My favorite way to eat it is on sourdough!

5. Organic Sourdough Loaf

I had to add the WF organic sourdough to my list because I always buy it to go with the Saint Agur cheese. These freshly baked loaves of sourdough are incredible. Soft inside with a yummy crunchy crust on the outside. It's perfect for sandwiches, cheese or just to snack on.

6. Noosa Yogurt

These are my absolute favorite yogurts. They are thick and creamy, and honestly taste like a dessert. I'm obsessed with the coconut flavor one but they are all really tasty, and I find that WF has the most flavors available of any grocery store.

7. Graeter's Black Raspberry Dark Chocolate Chip

Last, but certainly not least, is Graeter's Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. My husband's family is from Cincinnati and Graeter's is a staple in our household. Each pint is made in a french pot by hand, and if you get any flavor with chocolate chips in it you will not be disappointed. They call it a "chip" but really these chocolate pieces are more like small icebergs. The dark chocolate is truly the standout in this phenomenal ice cream. It is a pricey treat but I promise it is SO SO worth it.
