I dont know what Im going to want tomorrow, she tells SELF.
Because of this, she eats a lot offruits and vegetables.
I just love Trader Joes because they always have some kind of new product coming out, she says.

Whenever the weather cools, Jessielooks forward to eating popcorn.

And she finds that popcorn is a great snack even in the morning.
Ive definitely had it for breakfast a few times, she says.
I cant have any normal pasta sauces made with tomatoes.
I was in the sauce section and this caught my eye, Jessie says.
Im obsessed with these.
When that happens, she might reach for a pack of these as asnackbefore dinner.
I like the wasabi flavor with the seaweed.
She also likes seaweed because it has less saturated fat than many other crunchy snacks like potato chips.
While Jessie doesnt track her fat consumption, she does prefer to eat less saturated fat when possible.
These crackers are ideal oncharcuterieboards with cheese, according to Jessie.
I would put garlic on everything.
Now that its on crackers, Im the happiest girl in the world, she says.
Even her family and friends who eat gluten say these crackers are delicious, according to Jessie.
In fact, her parents have started buying these solely based on the flavor.
This is Jessies favorite dessert whenever she cravessomething sweet.
Its so creamy, and I like that it has big chunks of cherries in it, she says.
Im a sucker for chocolate-covered fruit.
It also contains less saturated fat compared to traditional ice cream made with cows milk.
Overall, Jessie gravitates toward frozen desserts because they remind her of family dinners.
My grandparents always served mint chocolate chip ice cream for dessert, she says.
Its ingrained in my memory, she says.
Speaking of fruit, Jessie really loveseating pineapple.
She adds the tropical fruit in her smoothies, poke bowls, or just eats it plain.
Its so sweet, especially when I get a really juicy pineapple, she says.
It sparks in your mouth.
Jessie stays energized for a day of virtual and outdoor training sessions by eating this way.
This blend of baby kale, baby chard, and baby spinach is Jessies favorite salad base.
I get the fresh baby leaf flavor that I want.
When you buy the bigger leaves of greens, its just chewier, she says.
This was Jessiesfavorite soupfor a long time.
Sometimes soups can be really watered down, and this one is so creamy.
It was a filling lunch or dinner, she explains.
Now, Jessie pairs broccoli with a lower-sodium butternut squash soup for a fiber-filled meal.
I use the cauliflower rice just to get an extra serving of veggies in, she says.
She eats cauliflower rice bowls because theyre satiating, easy to make, and loaded with vegetables.
These are a great bread alternative for people who dont eat gluten, according to Jessie.
She makesavocado toastusing these crackers and says the crisps are more filling for her than gluten-free bread.
Its very hearty, and its fun to switch things up.
