Produce
I shop for produce at two places and there are certain items I will get from each one. Luckily, they are close to one another😆 These are my favorite produce items to snag from Whole Foods when I make a grocery run.
If you have never tried these ugly looking oranges, do it.. I dare you! They will change your life and you'll never be able to eat another orange again. January - April are peak season for these bad boys and they are the perfect mix of sweet and tart...
Sumo Oranges
Some may say, a tomato is just a tomato. But whole foods roma tomatoes are always good. I have yet to buy one that wasn't near perfect or perfect.
Fresh Roma Tomato, Each
Meat
Meats that I'll buy from Whole Foods because they are worth it, easy to work with and organic. I always like to get organic meats to avoid all the antibiotics and nasty stuff the meat industry likes to feed animals to fatten them up.
This bacon brand has a chokehold on my husband and me. Warning tho, once you try it, you'll never want to go back to other bacon brands😆
Wellshire products at Target
They are definitely more expensive than a Costco rotisserie chicken, but when organic food is your vibe, these are the way to go. We get one weekly and throw it into some meal we eat during the week. Makes life so much easier!
rotisserie chicken organic cooked
These are great nuggets and they don't feel chewed-and-glued, they feel like real chicken. I love that it is gluten-free as well.
Perdue Simply Smart Organics Gluten Free Breaded Chicken Breast Nuggets
Drinks
I also buy this bad boy quite frequently. Best tasting green juice I have gotten ever.
Suja Essentials Mighty Juice, 12 Ounce -- 6 per Case Juices
I don't drink orange juice often; but when I do, this one really hits the spot. It doesn't taste sweet or sugary, and it's like real juice🍊
Organic Orange Juice No Pulp | Best Tasting Options
Other Packaged Goods
These are foods that we keep stocked in our fridge constantly and use them weekly. Despite the price (which not all of them are costly, just a few here and there) they are worth it.
I am a huge pizza lover, and this dough is out of this world. We can usually make two pizzas out of it and it tastes so good. No lie, I don't wanna order pizza out anymore and we just make it instead😊
Smart Flour Foods Ancient Grains Pizza Crust, 10 inch -- 12 per case
This salsa and the red salsa in these same brand are staples in our house and we consume them regularly. Worth the price for some good ass salsa!
Sabor Mexicano Home Made Salsa Verde
Vegan Foods
I am not a vegan, but I have a friend who is and she has found some really stellar vegan products that even I, a meat-eater will buy instead of the real thing.
These might not be a whole foods exclusive, but that's where I can find them in stock the majority of the time. We throw these in salads. The flavor is good and the texture is spot on.
Gardein Ultimate Frozen Plant-Based Chick'n Nuggets -14.7oz
This shit slaps! It's such a good vegan/dairy free version of sour cream that it's hard to tell that it is dairy free😁
Non Dairy Sour Cream | Vegan & Dairy Free Options
My husband, a die hard meat lover, really enjoyed these pepperonis on the pizza. We made this last week. Aside from their appearance, the flavor is on point.
Field Roast Plant Based Pepperoni -- 2 per case.
Expensive? Yes. The bottle says to take 3 times a day, but I consume probiotics regularly and if you are just using these to fill in the gaps, they are stunning and well worth it.

Vitamins + Holistic Medicine
I am a huge advocate for buying holistic medicine and supplements that are high quality. The more good support there is in those capsules, the more good support that's going into your body.
This is one of my favorite vitamin brands, because you can see the process, the contents went through before making it into your vitamins.
Ashwagandha Pills: Capsules For Stress
I have a sensitive tummy, and can't take an ibuprofen in my stomach. This is a great anti-inflammatory alternative that is natural.
Turmeric Supreme® Extra Strength
Another alternative for anti-inflammatories and pain relief. I use these all the time and swear by them.
Arnica Pellets
I use these sparingly when my tummy is feeling really yuck. Like swamp-gut-possible-food-poisoning YUCK. It either works for you or it doesn't but it tends to work well for me.
