I’m on a health kick lately! I’m upping my clean proteins and trying to eat more whole foods to better my body this fall, but as a busy girl, baker and foodie, my meals need to be delicious and uncomplicated PLUS my grocery runs need to be quick and ...

Protein 💪🏻
Starting my day with 20g protein has helped me hit my protein goals (100-130g/day). These yogurts are relatively low in sugar/carbs/fat, plus they’re thick, creamy, and the flavors are delicious and refreshing! Lemon raspberry, mango, and cherry berr...

If you’re busy like me, you probably find yourself looking for a frozen meal now and then. These nuggies hit high on protein and moderate carb/fat. I toss them in my air fryer—360°f for 20-25 mins. They’re almost identical to the Kirkland Lightly Bre...
Just Bare Lightly Breaded Chicken Breast Chunks, Boneless Skinless, 4 lbs
Before you say cottage cheese is gross, hear me out! 1. I love this brand of cottage cheese and this brand alone.
2. If you blend it until smooth, it’s a great replacement for sour cream and cream cheese, so you can have a high protein, lower fat con...
Products – Good Culture
I always have at least five of these in my freezer at all times. So easy to pull the day before and thaw overnight in the fridge for chili, tacos, meatballs, stir fry, or homemade burgers. The 93% lean beef is favorite because it has just enough fat ...
Buy Grass-Fed Beef
I buy a huge piece of steelhead from Costco the day I want to cook some, but they’re usually so big that I cut the rest into portions, wrap the portions in parchment paper and seal them up in a ziplock freezer bag so I have some on hand at all times!...
Kirkland Signature Fresh Farmed Steelhead Fillet
Great tasting protein powder for protein shakes and smoothies! My favorite thick pb&j smoothie uses one scoop of ascent vanilla protein, a tbsp of peanut butter, and a cup of frozen berries!
Ascent 100% Whey, Native Whey Protein Blend, Vanilla Bean, ...
Shrimp are one of my staples because they’re so quick to cook and so versatile (grilled/scampi/air fryer)!
waterfront BISTRO Frozen Raw Shell On Tail On Extra Jumbo Shrimp 16-20 Ct
Why thighs? When I’m rushing to cook dinner after work, I don’t have time to prep a breakdown a whole chicken or babysit a chicken breast to keep it from overcooking and drying out. Thighs are so hard to overcook in comparison that I really love havi...
Never a sour berry in these packs! They’re reliably sweet, as berries should be. I’ve bought so many brands of frozen fruit that were unexpectedly sour, which is not fun when you’re eating it straight (uncooked, no added sweeteners). These are a stap...
Frozen Berries - Organic 4-Berry Mix
I’ve been using Bob’s golden flax meal for fiber and nutrients. I add it to my morning yogurt, as a partial substitute for flour in my banana bread and muffin recipes, and as a more nutritious partial substitute for anything breaded (like my favorite...
Bob's Red Mill Organic Golden Flaxseed Meal
I have a 1/4 of an avocado in my lunch every day that I remember (about half of the week). Love a squeeze of lemon on avocado in taco bowls or with smoked salmon and edamame!

Garofalo pasta has the absolute BEST texture and flavor. I love that it naturally contains 6g protein per serving and one serving actually cooks up to feel like “enough” as a part of a balanced meal!
Garofalo Italian Pasta & Noodles
I’m new to edamame, but I now love adding it to my lunches—like edamame, avocado, salmon (smoked nova or leftover grilled salmon), mixed greens, a pinch of salt, and a squeeze of lemon!
Trader Joe's
I miss Dave’s Killer Bread when I don’t have it in my house. I’m a baker, but making bread takes so long and the last thing I feel like doing when I have free time is baking at home. Dave’s has great texture and flavor, and nutritional profile (obses...

I keep a bag of these extra fine green beans in my freezer at all times! They’re so convenient and tasty (steamed in the microwave with a little garlic salt or lemon salt 🤌🏻)

If you love chocolate cereal but also want to hit your nutrition goals, the dark chocolate Catalina Crunch is my newest pantry staple! I have it either on top of my cherry berry chobani protein yogurt to add a little crunch or with a splash of my a2 ...

My original favorite snack, the pretzel crisp. They’re so satisfying, my life is simply better with them in it 🥨
Pretzel Crisps
I love snacking on lightly roasted hazelnuts! They were recommended to me as a snack after I learned that I needed to increase my unsaturated fat intake, but I honestly just love the warm toasty taste of hazelnuts!
Buy Hazelnuts and Filbert Products
I just found these at my local grocery outlet and OMG they are so crisp and flavorful, but not oily or too salty. So much much flavor and a 1oz serving is actually like 2 handfuls because the chips are pretty thin (but somehow don’t shatter in my dip...
Organic Blue Tortilla Chips
The texture and taste of this salsa has been my favorite dip for years. The medium is pretty hot, so go mild if you have a sensitive palette.

Idk how these are SO coconut forward, but this coconut water is my new obsession that I always keep stocked in my fridge. Most other coconut waters just taste like dirty dish water to me, but these have such a sweet tropical coconut taste that I can’...
Pure Squeeze Coconut Water with Pulp 490mL 12pk
Cherry Limeade and Raspberry Rose are my jam! I love the natural taste of the flavors (no fake cherry here), that they have prebiotics and are relatively low in sugar! Such a treat for soda lovers who are stepping away from diet sodas.
Poppi Sparkling Prebiotic Soda Variety Pack
I love that the ingredient list is short and the flavors are all pretty balanced! I love a pour of this in an iced coffee for my afternoon pick me up! Pretty low in calories versus my whole milk or half and half, so it’s a winner for me! I’ve tried ...
All natural bliss® Creamers
I love Copper Moon Coffee! Specifically, the Stargazer medium roast (I get whole beans to grind myself, but they have pre-ground and single cup options!). Stargezer tasting notes are warm and smooth, but also have the light fruity acidity that I love...
Copper Moon Stargazer Medium Roast Coffee 2lb
Kirkland A2 whole milk is a staple in my fridge! The 4 pack usually has a best by date a few months in the future, so I love only having to grab milk once per month. I don’t even like getting lattes out anymore because the taste/smell of A2 milk is s...
My absolute favorite tea ever! The African Nectar and White Orchard teas are both very unique, naturally a “sweet” instead of astringent tea and are my absolutely favorites!
My fridge is incomplete without Kerry Gold butter (salted and unsalted)! So good on the Garofalo pasta, faves killer bread and a must in the shrimp scampi dinners!
Salted Butter | Kerrygold USA
I love this seasoning on all meats and most seafood! The additions of dried green onion rounds out the garlic/onion flavor so nicely!
Onion & Garlic Tableside Sprinkle
I always have cedar planks in my pantry for grilling salmon! Soak for 30 mins, remove from the water and add your seasoned salmon to it (garlic salt and pepper is my go-to quick seasoning) and pop it on the grill for a lightly smoked wood flavor!
Wildwood Cedar Grilling Planks 5x11 (12-Pack)
I always have sourdough starter in my fridge. Dani Koch’s blog here is the best intro to learning sourdough baking (from a DIY gal, not a baker, so if you’re not a baker, she has you covered!)

Brags apple cider vinegar is a necessity in my pantry! I use this for my favorite cucumber salad (recipe coming soon!), in my home broth soups, and bonus: I use it as a beauty treatment by mixing it with my clay mask powder—so much more effective tha...
