Funny story...well, funny to me! My daughter, raised on a farm that had always 'grown' its own meat (with love and names) turns to me as a three year old, sitting in the grocery cart, and asks, "They sell meat in the grocery store?" Me: proud and slightly horrified!
@@MindsetMattersYT what is needed is a real market like with a whole bunch of different fruit and veg sellers. That way there is competiiton and they can't just sell some unripe fruits coz people will go to the stall with the best fruit. once you get rid of the market i.e. have a single retailer then you get into all sorts of trouble like what is convenient to sell online. It is ridiculous that someone claiming to know about health would advocate online shopping for food from a non market. loves avocadoes and has only 3 small ones for a whole family for a week? this is ridiculous and so unhealthy.
Abby: I can’t even begin to sufficiently express how grateful I am to have found your channel. I have struggled with an eating disorder for 18 years and your mindset on wholesome foods that bring you joy in a healthy way rather than “good vs bad” food has been incredibly helpful for my normally toxic relationship with food. Through you, I have realized that not having restrictive foods or forbidden foods has put me into a less hateful place with those foods that used to be severely triggering for me. Specifically, what I have found to be most helpful is watching your “what I eat in a day” reaction videos and hearing you point out the triggering words that they often use (which would usually send me into a spiral of self hate to hear them say), so when you point out that that’s not something to strive for, it really reminds me that I’m on the right path in trying to undo all of those habits that I have lived for nearly two decades. At the end of the day, all I want is to be able to view food as something enjoyable and satiating instead of something that’s my enemy. Slowly, you are helping me get there. More than any treatment program or therapist ever has.... so thank you 🙏🏼
I really loved seeing your personality come out more in this vid. Also your excitement for all the food. And yes, you sing alllllll the time when kiddos are in your life!
I don‘t know why, but I‘m no friend of ordering groceries. Especially in these days, when all the other shops are closed here in Germany, I need my grocery shopping just as a little fix of normality 😂😂😂
I also like to be in the shop. I don't trust other people to choose my fruit and vegetables. Also especially at the moment it's an hour out of the house 😅
I have put myself into so many "flavor hunts" because while shopping I try to be "healthy" and then at home I crave what I actually want. I now allow myself to get my favorite snacks and many options at that so I can satiate my cravings without eating 10x as much hunting it down! Such a good tip.
omg, i need to start doing this! i always leave out the sweet/salty snacks (that i know i will want) as wishful thinking, it never works and we end up getting it at 3x the price at our local convenience store when the feeling hits haha
I gotta start doing this as well. I never realized that I'm putting myself in a situation where I would eat so much more then I would have if I just had a little of what I was craving.
I would love love looove more of these hauls!!! Buying groceries every week is such a chore, I usually just get the same things but I would love to try new recipes and snacks!!!
where I live, there's not a single brand of these available but I just looove to watch your actual food videos to become inspired and try something different while knowing I can trust your taste buds! Love you ✨
I live in the same city as Abby and it isn’t available here either lol. They must have shipped it to her because they’re sponsoring the video, thrive market doesn’t ship to Canada
I absolutely loved this video! I just signed up with Thrive Market and ordered my first delivery today. Ended up ordering a few of the same items! Very excited to try them out. I really loved how you didn't just show the healthier foods you bought, but also the fun treats! I truly admire how genuine you are!
I always love you, but this video really shows your personality, which makes me love you even more . You took so much shame , guilt and stress away from the topic of food for me. I find myself referencing your information to my loved ones constantly. Hahaha 💕🌸😍🍍🍒
You should do a video on reacting to Women's Health magazines/their covers! I work at a grocery store and I see their magazines for a week- some crazy claims/myths! .
It's really interesting that in Canada the recommendation is that you introduce nut allergens early (which is what I feel I would do) when in the UK (where I live) the government advice is no nuts before five incase of allergies. It would be interesting to see a comparison of this advice and reasons for the different recommendations around the world.
@@animanukyan2168 i think health visitor advice varies based on personal opinion and when they were trained for a lot of things. As I said I don't have a baby/children - I'm basing this on the experiences of friends I have who have recently had babies. Although I did just see an article to say this advice was changed by the government about 10 years ago. So actually it's probably more interesting that the knowledge of the change in both the general public, and also the previously mentioned friend's experiences with health visitors seems to be lacking 🙂
I love how genuinely excited you get talking about all of this food 🥰 this channel has helped me view food in a much more positive light! So refreshing
Abby, can you do a video about fructose malabsorption? My husband was diagnosed with it a few years ago and it is difficult to find information and recipes.
As an Early Interventionist, I absolutely love that you sing everything. Your voice is beautiful and could listen to you sing all day. Such good brain food for your baby's, can't tell parents to sing enough.
Hello :) I have really been enjoying your videos :) you mentioned that you cook Meat and veggies and grains and then have them in the fridge so you can throw together and top with sauce. Such a great idea! Could you give me some sauce ideas? Thanks :) oh one more question! Do you microwave the dishes or heat on stove or do you eat them cold?
You should do a video on different foods you feed your baby! I feel so lost as a first time mom.. my babe was just approved to start solids! I would love to see your take on solids with babies❤️
I just finished this process with my now 2 and 3 year old boys! They’re incredible eaters and have a more sophisticated palate than most adults we know. Obviously listen to experts first, but since it’s fresh on my mind, I wanted to share some things we learned along the way! 1. Start by researching baby-led weaning. 2. Whenever you’re introducing vegetables, (you can easily find baby-led weaning lists online with a sequence to follow....it’s also important to pay attention to the size you cut them and how soft you cook them) don’t be afraid to introduce and play around with different seasonings to broaden their palette. The only things you should avoid are salt, sugar, and spicy (hot.) It’s great to use things like cumin, garlic, ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. For example, when you’re introducing sweet potatoes, one night they could have a little cumin on it and the next night they could have a little garlic powder on them. 3. As they start eating more for substance a little later in the journey, our favorite things were making toast sticks using Dave’s killer bread and switching out the nut butters like Abbey mentioned in this video. We also loved rolled oats with a nut butter and smashed banana mixed in, oat pancakes (1 c oat flour, 1 smashed banana or 1/2 c of pumpkin, 1 c of milk, and a shake of baking powder...you can also change out the flavor profile by adding in nutmeg, cinnamon, cardamom, etc.) and banza pasta! I love making pesto pasta with it and adding in some frozen peas. You can make such nutrient-dense pesto with kale, spinach, or a mixture of both, and sunflower seeds or cashews. We love the Trader Joe’s kale pesto. I really hope this helps and please comment back if you have any questions. Oh, and I know Abbey has some really great muffins on her blog!
@@sarahwarner8431 I’m so afraid I’m going to give him a piece of food that is too big for him and I’m afraid he’s going to choke 😭 Also, can I give him the pieces of food or do I have to just put the food in front of him and have him figure it out? I’m afraid I have no idea what I’m doing and I’m going to give him too much at once.
@@bethanyyork9647 Follow your mama instinct and only do what you’re comfortable doing. If you rather hand him the pieces, do that at first! Regarding choking, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself and your spouse with infant cpr (not to scare you, more for empowerment to know you’re prepared.) There will be gagging, and it’s important to know that, but it’s different than choking. You can definitely do a hybrid of baby-led weaning with whatever you feel comfortable. We started both times with avocado and followed the guidance on how to cut it. They never choked, but gagging is a real thing.
Oh and the cool thing about it is that they really aren’t eating it at first. It’s more just a touching/mouthing experience. They’ll eat it when they’re ready. It may take a few times. So you’re only presenting one piece of food and they really know how much they need, so it will never be you who gives them too much. That’s actually the main reason I like it more than purées. They’re in charge of their portion control (and are using this as a learning process that will set them up for success) as opposed to us unknowingly stuffing them with food.
I love me some bell peppers too! I used to hate them but I’ve been going on a journey lately reclaiming foods I decided I hated as a kid and red bell peppers were first on the list. It took about a year, but now I love a crunchy red or yellow bell pepper strip plain or dipped in hummus or ranch, as well as cooking with them. My new food I’m working on is avocado. For me it’s mostly textural, but I’ve decided that guacamole’s okay so that’s a step in the right direction.
It's so cool to see thrive market stocking Fix & Fogg. Have been loving their nut butters here in New Zealand for years 😋 Their fruit toast peanut butter is delish in porridge/oatmeal.
This is one of the most fun, and informative grocery hauls I've seen in a long time! I appreciate how you explain why you buy certain things for your children, and maintain a sense of humor throughout. I never had, or wanted children and always give props to those who do/did. I love your channel, Abby!
Wow. This video just gave me freedom to buy groceries I’ve been denying myself for years. Ditching diet culture for good after almost 40 years is so liberating…and scary!
whoaaa I have never seen nut butter in a squeeze pouch form!!! so now I dont even need to dig my spoon into a jar, I can just squeeze it into my mouth HAHHAHAHA
I would love a video where you show how to make a bunch of snacks or “food hacks” sped up. I feel like you have so many seasoning and dip choices and I need more ideas!
YOU ARE SO CUTE IN THIS! 😍 i love how much your personality shines through. fave b&j’s: phish food & americone dream! bonus, there are now non-diary versions of both flavors! 🤗
This video was so validating!! I recently changed my eating habits to focus on healthier, more nutritious food. Your grocery haul is nearly identical to mine, and even your smoothie recipe is virtually the same as what I make for my son! 😆 I only just discovered your YT channel yesterday, but this video and others I’ve watched are reassuring me about my new eating habits. I already knew I felt better about my eating - healthier and tastier - but this is nice affirmation. 😊❤️
I'm with you. I LOATHE grocery shopping. I'm obsessed with ordering online or for delivery or pick up. I have stuff on auto ship and it's awesome. And I love thrive!
I also got excited that they started to ship to Canada. I watch so many of these videos. I recently saw someone order from nature’s market, they ship to Canada and have many of the brands that are shown in these thrive market hauls.
Hey Abbey, would be curious to know how much you spent on that grocery haul if you're willing to share! Also, Netflix & Chill'd is definitely the best ice cream flavour, hands down!
Love this grocery haul! I am a Jewish mom with a little bubbala myself and your hauls look a lot like mine❤️. I’ve been using Thrive Market for a little over a year now and my subscriptions are mostly for sauces, vinegars, oils, Banza, nuts and snacks too! I’d love to see more grocery hauls!
Graeter’s ice cream makes a strawberry chip with huge chunks of chocolate swirled through. It’s only available in April, I look forward to it every year!
This seems like a very expensive grocery haul. I get just a couple of those specialty items weekly. I also have to make a list before I go to trader jos otherwise I buy everything and spend twice my grocery budget. I will likely never use Thrive. Nonetheless, all sounds great! I am all about the dark chocolate.
I actually looooove to go to the grocery shop. I always have so much fun looking for different things, checking prices and looking at labels like What kind of cookies are we buying this week? Maybe chocolate, maybe salted caramel maybe both I usually just decide straight up in the place.
I am ok buying canned and box food online. But my veggies fruits frozen items I want to get myself to make sure they don’t defrost and refreeze. I heard that’s not good.
mint chocolate cookie, gimme s’mores, and chubby hubby are my top 3 fav ben and jerrys!! definitely reccomend. i’ve had about 25 different flavors and those are my top 3
Yes to the acid! If I have salad with balsamic vinaigrette and there’s some left in the bottom (because I overdressed, as usual) I’ll straight up drink it out of the bowl 😂
Omg i thought i was the only one haha! In my country we also dip a little bit of bread in the leftover dressing (usually olive oil and vinegar) in the bowl!
Thrive market doesnt ship to Canada! :( I would hope since they are sponsoring a canadian youtuber they would upgrade their shipping at some point? I would love to try the service some day.
Unfortunately they don't right now but I was able to get a box to try for this partnership (as most of my viewers at this time are American). Sorry about that!
Abbey I love love love this video! I love all your other more formal-style informative and analytical videos but can really sense your lovely personality in this. Much love ❤️ xxx
I like how you said the squeeze packs are great for travel and “less mess” ... my daughter would squeeze her applesauce from the pouch into the lid and then drink it from the lid and let me tell you, when she was younger it almost always resulted in all the mess! 😂😂 I loved this video, Abbey! Your personality makes me so happy. 😊
That popcorn in a bowl (my school has the smaller bags so usually the whole thing or sometimes half drizzled (it’s more like a stream) of Hershey’s syrup is delicious!
I'm so confused by the popcorn. Isn't the "problem" with butter that it's high in saturated fat? The only reason to use coconut oil as a butter substitute would be if you were lactose intolerant or vegan, since both are very high in saturated fat. Why does the popcorn you bought have a "health halo"?
Pre-COVID my idea of a good time is wandering the aisles of the grocery store 😂 I work in the food industry so consider my trips to Whole Foods “market research”
omg i used to be obsessed with mama chia packets... brought them to school everyday and my friends would ration out portions from one pack to give everyone a little bit 💀
I have a whole drawer of my freezer dedicated to frozen fruits. I often eat a banana mixed with frozen strawberries or other berries because im bad at eating fruit but like this its like icecream and i love it
We always pronounce it fah-yay. We are die hard fans of the stuff. We buy a 35 oz container of the 2 % every week. Perfect plain with granola or fruit or both, we also add it onto tacos in lieu of sour cream or drop a dallop into a smoothie for an extra creamy one!
You are in Canada right?! I tried to use your code and got so excited for thrive market finally shipping to Canada but it don't!!!! So this will not work for us Canadian 🥴
So Delicious Dairy Free Snickerdoodle Cashewmilk Frozen Dessert is my current 100% favorite. Haven’t had real dairy ice cream in a long time so hard to say how it adds up but it is certainly my favorite.
I am the total opposite. I love grocery shopping. It’s my moment of zen.
I get that too!
Funny story...well, funny to me!

I mostly don't like it as much because it's more pricey, but I could do without leaving the house (and potentially exposing myself to COVID).

Don't like dark chocolate? Abbey, I thought we were friends.
I'm sorry 😫
I know right! Especially with Raisinets, I find that the raisin is already very sweet so the dark chocolate pairs better with it
Broke my heart. 😭😂 I'm crazy about dark chocolate.
lol me neither tho, way too bitter and nasty

I'm with you. I LOATHE grocery shopping. I'm obsessed with ordering online or for delivery or pick up. I have stuff on auto ship and it's awesome. And I love thrive!
Abbey, the tonight’s dough from Ben and Jerry’s is sooo good!
I'll have to try that!
For a second I legit thought you were going to pour the balsamic in your coffee 😂
😂
I thought that about the ketchup / mustard... well... it's far too early in the morning here 😂🤦🏻♀️
please sing all the time. you have a beautiful singing voice 🌸
Aw thank you!
I thought you were located in Toronto? Or somewhere in Ontario... does Thrive ship to Canada?!
No they don’t normally. But I was able to get a box for this partnership
@@AbbeysKitchen Lucky!! Can't wait for them to ship to Canada, looks amazing.
I also got excited that they started to ship to Canada. I watch so many of these videos. I recently saw someone order from nature’s market, they ship to Canada and have many of the brands that are shown in these thrive market hauls.
I’ve been wanting to try Thrive forever and got so excited. Hopefully they will ship to Canada soon!
check out Natura Market! they have a great selection, and are Canadian so no stress delivery + you're actually supporting a local company.
Hey Abbey, would be curious to know how much you spent on that grocery haul if you're willing to share! Also, Netflix & Chill'd is definitely the best ice cream flavour, hands down!
Love this grocery haul! I am a Jewish mom with a little bubbala myself and your hauls look a lot like mine❤️. I’ve been using Thrive Market for a little over a year now and my subscriptions are mostly for sauces, vinegars, oils, Banza, nuts and snacks too! I’d love to see more grocery hauls!
Did Abbey singing remind anyone of Jan from the Office when she was singing to her daughter? 😂
😂
Hello dear friend
I love seeing how her excitement/ energy level changed as the coffee kicked in. LOL
😂yup!
your hair looks really nice, it's lovely like this
Thank you!
Ben & Jerry’s CHOCOLATE FUDGE BROWNIE ICE CREAM! Heaven in a pint.
I got so excited that maybe Thrive had started shipping to Canada, but sadly they do not....
Sorry about that. Unfortunately they do not but I was able to get a box to try for this partnership (as most of my viewers at this time are American)
I was excited too! Hopefully soon
Aw man.... I got excited too 😆. C’mon Thrive, Canadians need to eat too!!
Show Canada some love, please! I also get excited about several of the products even from previous videos, but sadly, not available in Canada :(
@@AbbeysKitchen not fair that you are highlighting Thrive - we can't get in Canada.
Thank you for this omg!!! Most hauls have so many triggering halo words. We appreciate this
I absolutely LOVE watching your videos-I would love to see more of your recipes and dishes you make! You are TOOOO FUN!
Graeter’s ice cream makes a strawberry chip with huge chunks of chocolate swirled through. It’s only available in April, I look forward to it every year!
Sounds amazing!
This seems like a very expensive grocery haul. I get just a couple of those specialty items weekly. I also have to make a list before I go to trader jos otherwise I buy everything and spend twice my grocery budget. I will likely never use Thrive. Nonetheless, all sounds great! I am all about the dark chocolate.
Love the grocery haul, could watch these all day!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
I love that macadamia nut mylk for vanilla lattes!!! 😍
Yum!
Loved this so much!! Such a fun video.
Thanks!
I actually looooove to go to the grocery shop.
I always have so much fun looking for different things, checking prices and looking at labels like What kind of cookies are we buying this week? Maybe chocolate, maybe salted caramel maybe both I usually just decide straight up in the place.
I totally understand!
I am ok buying canned and box food online. But my veggies fruits frozen items I want to get myself to make sure they don’t defrost and refreeze. I heard that’s not good.
Honestly you’re my favvvv youtuber!!! I get so excited when you post :)))
Aw thank you!
Omg! I do the same with my avocados I also add pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds on top. Sun dried tomatoes are relish too.
Ben and Jerry’s americone dream is my favorite but now I must try the Netflix and chilled next time. Thanks for all the great recommendations!
As much as I love Netflix and Chilld, I would say Häagen-Dazs Spéculoos and salted caramel is just that next level up ☺️
Sounds amazing!
mint chocolate cookie, gimme s’mores, and chubby hubby are my top 3 fav ben and jerrys!! definitely reccomend. i’ve had about 25 different flavors and those are my top 3
Yum!
Great video!! You spoke about exposure to allergy-foods (nuts ect.) for small kids. Would love a whole video on child nutrion!
For sure! I actually have a post about this topic on my blog: www.abbeyskitchen.com/how-and-when-to-introduce-food-allergens/
Yes to the acid! If I have salad with balsamic vinaigrette and there’s some left in the bottom (because I overdressed, as usual) I’ll straight up drink it out of the bowl 😂
😂😂
My sister used to that all the time when she was a kid!
Omg i thought i was the only one haha! In my country we also dip a little bit of bread in the leftover dressing (usually olive oil and vinegar) in the bowl!
Love the mama chia squeezes!!!
I would love to see a video of your meal prep! So many meal prep videos are for one person, or couples, a family one would be great :)
I'll put this on the list!
Interesting about the two different casein types I’m allergic to one but not sure which
Thrive market doesnt ship to Canada! :( I would hope since they are sponsoring a canadian youtuber they would upgrade their shipping at some point? I would love to try the service some day.
Unfortunately they don't right now but I was able to get a box to try for this partnership (as most of my viewers at this time are American). Sorry about that!
Yum! So happy to have found your channel 🥰
Love this video! And I love when you sing🤩
Thank you!
Abbey I love love love this video! I love all your other more formal-style informative and analytical videos but can really sense your lovely personality in this. Much love ❤️ xxx
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it 😊
I like how you said the squeeze packs are great for travel and “less mess” ... my daughter would squeeze her applesauce from the pouch into the lid and then drink it from the lid and let me tell you, when she was younger it almost always resulted in all the mess! 😂😂 I loved this video, Abbey! Your personality makes me so happy. 😊
Aw thank you!
Oooh never been this fast, Hey Abbey!! Excited to watch
I hope it's helpful!
That popcorn in a bowl (my school has the smaller bags so usually the whole thing or sometimes half drizzled (it’s more like a stream) of Hershey’s syrup is delicious!
I'm so confused by the popcorn. Isn't the "problem" with butter that it's high in saturated fat? The only reason to use coconut oil as a butter substitute would be if you were lactose intolerant or vegan, since both are very high in saturated fat. Why does the popcorn you bought have a "health halo"?
I miss grocery shopping too. 😭 I never thought I'd say that. It's been pickup for me for a year.
I totally get it!
Hello
I love ordering my groceries online! I find that I stick to my budget better!
She low key can sing though. Love this channel
Pre-COVID my idea of a good time is wandering the aisles of the grocery store 😂 I work in the food industry so consider my trips to Whole Foods “market research”
😂😂
omg i used to be obsessed with mama chia packets... brought them to school everyday and my friends would ration out portions from one pack to give everyone a little bit 💀
Oh no 😫
I have a whole drawer of my freezer dedicated to frozen fruits. I often eat a banana mixed with frozen strawberries or other berries because im bad at eating fruit but like this its like icecream and i love it
Sounds amazing!
We always pronounce it fah-yay. We are die hard fans of the stuff. We buy a 35 oz container of the 2 % every week. Perfect plain with granola or fruit or both, we also add it onto tacos in lieu of sour cream or drop a dallop into a smoothie for an extra creamy one!
Thank you for this video. The Greek Yogurt is pronounced "Fa Yeh" according to my Greek friend and the ads in the UK.
Thanks for letting me know!
@@AbbeysKitchen Thank you! I've been using it as a source of the HCC to help with my weight goals.
Ben and Jerry's Chocolatte cookie core and Phish food are some of my favorites. (:
You are in Canada right?! I tried to use your code and got so excited for thrive market finally shipping to Canada but it don't!!!! So this will not work for us Canadian 🥴
So Delicious Dairy Free Snickerdoodle Cashewmilk Frozen Dessert is my current 100% favorite. Haven’t had real dairy ice cream in a long time so hard to say how it adds up but it is certainly my favorite.
I'm so confused...thrive market doesn't deliver to Canada I thought...
NETFLIX AND CHILLED!!! They have a vegan version and it blows my mind every damn time! 💜💜
