My local grocery store (HEB) has a catchy way of marketing. They always send out flyers with “combo loco” deals. Is that Spanish for crazy combos? I didn’t take Spanish but I am assuming that’s what it means. Correct me if I am wrong though. Anyway, the combos are crazy because they are a crazy good deal. And maybe those items on sale are just crazy good together? Or both? haha.
In order to finish off the week with a fun non thinking post, I’ve come up with a few Cotter Combo Locos. These are my (our) favorite combos come lately.
Kix with Core Power strawberry recovery milk. Childhood Combo!
Cottage cheese or a baked sprouted corn tortilla with tomato and slaw. And Peach Fruit Strip with mini Love Grown Granola bags. Snack Combos
Balsamic glazed Peas with shrimp and sauerkraut mixed with ranch, tomato, and zucchini. Weirdest Pasta Topping Combos (but DELICIOUS!)
A historic town and candid moments. Best picture taking Combo.
Chocolate Zico mixed with Muscle Milk and WholeFoods Salad in a Cup.
Brilliant COMBOS!
Mint Chocolate Hazelnut Coffee Crunch Bites
Tasty New Healthy Bites Combo!
New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc
Wine and New Zealand… LOVE COMBO
What’s your combo loco?
Cheers and happy Friday!

p.s.
I’ve got some planning to do. Someone turns the big 3-0 on Monday, and it’s not SADIE. Hehe.

The bites combo sounds perfecto! I’m trying to think of any crazy combos I have. When I was a kid I loved to peel the chocolate layer off those Little Debbie snack rolls and eat with cheetos.

haha, i think i did something similar. But mine was with the oatmeal cream stuffed sandwiches. I wonder what’s in that stuff now? eek.
I love your combos!! Especially the LOVE GROWN and ZICO combos, those are my newest fave products right now, OMG. I love it all!
PS. The big 3-0 is huge! You gotta do it up in style…with lots of that NZ sauv blanc on hand for a certain someone’s big bday
Jess recently posted..Running + barre: revisited
have you tried the chocolate zico? i mean it’s like MILK!! wowza! and yes, the big 30 for someone means NZ wine for sure. I’ll start early. hehe
Oooh. I LOVE Kix, and I always forget it exists.
Those new healthy bites look delicious!

oh i know. it’s such a good cereal for anything. Kid tested! hehe.
Pavey Combos? Pavey Loco is more like it. LOL.
I ran my first double last week. Run in the morning followed by a run in the afternoon… that is the closest I come to a decent combo, and will have more of those in the future. Great photos and concept!
PavementRunner recently posted..Playlist Thursday: Pop-tastic!
whoa thats a good combo… when it’s all done. right? haha, nice work!
Warmed up pb stirred into puffed rice cereal with some stevia and cocoa sprinkled in! Yummmm.
Bekah recently posted..3 Things I Cried About Today
oh heck ya! warmed PB is awesome! must try!
Hmm… I’m a fan of GF Almond Nut Thins and Laughing Cow wedges, popcorn and mustard, stir-fries and sriracha, and long runs and sports massages!
Laura @ LauraLivesLife recently posted..Five Things Friday: “First-World” Problems
popcorn and mustard together? like the powdered mustard or real? sounds good either way!
i love this idea! my recent combo loco is egg whites and coconut oil. so delicious!
teabagginit recently posted..Current obsessions
i love that combo too. Ahh bliss. Hi friend. how are you?
I love sauerkraut. so it would go good with anything. I like your combo for it.
Zico…can’t get into the taste. Tried it at Expo West. Wasn’t my thing.
my combo… but not so weird, I think… pretzels and cheese dip. so not good for you… *sigh*
haha. have a great weekend!
Christine @ Oatmeal Bowl recently posted..Weight Lifting Insights {with Plan}
try the chocolate zico!! its the only one i like cause it tastes like chocolate milk. SOO GOOD!
You know I’m all about the loco combos. And I put kraut in and on everything. It’s great with ranch, I agree, but you need to add some sriracha to that combo! Also great with mustard and ketchup. I had that yesterday for a snack in the afternoon, actually. With some celery and turkey sausage crumbles. I called it (in my head…I always name my snacks) my bratwurst bowl. It was delicious, but I think if anyone had seen it they’d have visibly gagged.
Except maybe you wouldn’t have.
Katie recently posted..Crafts: Fabric for kitchen crafting [HELP!]
i actually think i had that for lunch too, but mixed in some hummus. It was awful looking, but good of course. I’ll dine with you anyday!
oh and i was out of sriracha sauce, otherwise i totally would have!
quinoa, dates and coconut kefir mmmmm.
I have no idea what half of those products are… but I trust in your crazy combo thinking
Especially when it comes to WINE. Oh and tasty healthy bites (anything that involves coffee/chocolate).
Where was the historic town? Looks awesome!
Lou recently posted..cold feet* and crap wine

Molly recently posted..Finally Friday
is it dinner there yet? hope so! How’s the hubby healing? What’s next for you race wise?
Yes, and dinner was fresh grilled tuna and veggies! Jeff is good, just trying to avoid weight-bearing on the knee for a few more days in the hopes it heals better this time. I’ve got a 1/2 marathon next weekend (just a training day though) and a sprint tri 2 weeks after that. THEN the volume picks up
Have a good weekend!
Molly recently posted..Finally Friday
I like cocoa powder and cottage cheese.
I love your pasta combo – looks like a lot of my dinners.

I like these combo locos! Why do the weirdest sounding ingredients always taste the best. Have a great weekend and celebrate the 30th!!!
You deserve it! My combo loco would be cottage cheese and cocoa powder.
i’ve only tried chocolate protein or pb flour in cottage cheese. I must try cocoa!
Okay this post just makes me smile.
My combo loco is egg whites and sugar free jam. EVERY SINGLE MORNING. TOnight it’s going to wine with well,m whatever. Ha ha! Have a great weekend friend!

Tessa @ Amazing Asset recently posted..Worth Mentioning
girl you and me both! ketchup on everything. I even put on a sandwich. haha.
My husband and my wee one is my fave combo…. or God and any day…
Oh, wait… you meant “food combo” no? Hmm..
When we lived in Mississippi, it was French dressing on greasy pizza…
The hub always has some “interesting combos” going on…. chutney and veggie burgers; goat cheese with Annie’s GF mac and cheese; chutney and any non-chutney item…
Wendy recently posted..Saying Good-bye to VHTRC
i like your hubby’s style! goat cheese is the best in mac and cheese. and God with a quiet morning and cup of coffee is the ULTIMATE combo!
Kix and Core Power…I must try that. I’ve always been a fan of Kix.
J.L. recently posted..Great Day at the Races
me too. such good simple stuff!
Those core power shakes are the best. I recently won a few samples of those in a 5k and I’m addicted!
oh i know! whats your favorite flavor?
The strawberry banana for sure!
Mmmm….the healthy bites look yummy!

Some of my favorite combos are eggs and ketchup (used to think it was so gross!), oreos and pb (to DIE for), salt&vinegar chips + cottage cheese.
Meg recently posted..A Story of Whiplash

I used to always make a protein shake (nice and thick) and pour it over a bowl of cereal!
Chuck recently posted..Headwinds
it’s good with cooked brown rice or quinoa too. Like rice pudding!
Kix and strawberry milk? Sounds like a GREAT combo to my childhood favorite!

agreed! your combos are always the best. Well to me at least. haha.
I had a combo loco on Friday! I combined leftover whole wheat pasta with pesto on it with leftover lemony green beans and mushrooms. It was delicious!
