items Saving my favorite finds (and new ones to try) while exploring more whole-ingredient foods. Most of these have short ingredient lists, minimal or no preservatives, and little to no refined sugar when possible. Not everything is perfectly healthy, but...

Breakfast
Vanilla and Sweet Cream are the only ones I’ve found without “natural flavors.” Not overly sweet either! Found at Target.
Good & Gather Coffee Creamer
Love this syrup! So good on pancakes and surprisingly great in coffee too. It’s a great alternative to refined sugar. Found at HEB, but have also seen this at Sprouts.
D'Vash Organic Date Syrup
Fav maple syrup brand so far! I even add a little to my coffee sometimes. Found at HEB.
Coombs Family Farms Organic Maple Syrup
Apparently this one’s a limited edition syrup that comes out every year? (from what I’ve seen anyway). It has a subtle maple flavor. If you want a stronger maple punch, I’d go with the Coombs Family one.
Kirkland Signature Pure 100% Organic Maple Syrup
Grew up on Special K Red Berries cereal and wanted a cleaner alternative! This gives off the same vibes. Found at Costco, but have seen these around many stores lately.
Seven Sundays Rise & Shine Mix
Not super chocolatey, but still good! The milk doesn’t turn chocolatey like the mainstream chocolate cereals, but it actually tastes like real cereal and not a “health” brand.
Seven Sundays Sunflower Cereal
I’ve seen this brand mentioned as the one Chick-fil-A uses for their parfaits, though I’m not 100% sure and they likely use the vanilla flavor, which has added sugars and extra ingredients. Either way, this plain whole milk version is super creamy an...
Wallaby Whole Milk Plain Greek Yogurt
This one is a bit more tart than the Wallaby yogurt since Bulgarian yogurt isn’t as heavily strained as Greek yogurt. I usually add a little honey or maple syrup to balance it out. I’ve also baked with this one before and it worked really well. Found...
White Mountain Organic Plain Whole Milk Bulgarian Yogurt
Carbs
For those who love sourdough but don’t have the time (or patience) to make it yourself. Quick to bake and great to keep on hand for sandwiches. Found at Costco.
Essential Baking Take & Bake Sourdough
Found some clean ingredient breads at Sprouts! I’ve only tried the ciabatta so far and really liked it, but they have more clean options in their artisan and fresh-baked section if you want to explore.
Sprouts Ciabatta Bread
My boyfriend (a self-proclaimed tortilla connoisseur) says they taste really close to homemade. Found at Costco.
Tortilla Fresca Uncooked Flour Tortillas
The pasta shells come in a big variety pack. They have spaghetti noodles in a separate pack too. Always good to have on hand for quick meals! Found at Costco.
Rummo Organic Pasta
We keep these on hand for an easy side with tacos or quesadillas. They need a little extra seasoning, but they’re a good base and an easy source of protein, fiber, and carbs.
H‑E‑B Organics Fat Free Refried Black Beans
The only burger buns I’ve found so far with no added sugar and a short, clean ingredient list. We had these the other night and they were actually really good! Excited to see what else they carry. Found at Sprouts
Cristal Burger Bun
Protein
One of our go-to staples during Whole30. Still one of my favorite breakfast options! Found at Costco.
Teton Polish Sausage
It’s so hard to find bacon with no added sugars! This one’s a go-to when we’re craving bacon for breakfast. Found at HEB.
Tender Belly Bacon
Another bacon option we like! Thick cut, simple ingredients, and no added sugar. Found at HEB
Hempler's Foods Uncured No Sugar Bacon
Breakfast staple. Not the healthiest, but made with minimal ingredients and no preservatives. Found at HEB.
Chorizo de San Manuel
Another chorizo we grab for breakfast! This one’s cheaper than the San Manuel brand and still really good. Found at HEB.
San Luis Chorizo
Sauces, Condiments, & Seasonings
Not even a pickle person, but these converted me. Haven’t tried the rest of their lineup yet, but everything looks clean ingredient-wise. Found at HEB.
Yeehaw Pickles
All their salsas are clean! I’ve tried the Jalapeño and Árbol so far but want to try the rest. Found at HEB, but I’ve also seen it at Whole Foods, Natural Grocers, Sprouts, and Costco (they might only carry one variety though).
Tatemada Jalapeño Salsa
Only tried the Greek olives stuffed with jalapeño so far, but it looks like this brand has other clean options too. Found at HEB.
World Gourmet Foods Greek Olives
Not a big mustard fan, but this one adds such good flavor. I use it all the time in egg salad!
Trader Joe's Dijon Mustard
My favorite curry paste so far! I use it all the time and love the flavor and spice. I switch between the different varieties depending on what’s available at the store (they have red, green, panang, and more). Found at HEB.
Maepranom Curry Paste
Not my top pick, but I’ve used it when I can’t find the Maepranom curry paste. It does the job if you’re in a pinch. Found at HEB.
Thai Kitchen Red Curry Paste
Cleaner alternative to the sriracha with the rooster on it. We still use the rooster one (some things are just irreplaceable lol), but this one’s great if you want a gluten-free and sugar-free option. Found at HEB.
Pretty Thai Chili Sriracha
We add this to some savory dishes for a touch of natural sweetness. I don’t think it really has much heat, but we still like it! I’ve made my own hot honey when we want something spicier, but this is great to keep around. Found at HEB.
Mike's Hot Honey
Adds that hard-to-describe savory depth that just makes food taste better. Great to throw into almost anything.
Trader Joe's Umami Seasoning Blend
Picked this up after realizing the one I was using (3 Crabs) had fructose in it. This one’s a great clean option with simple ingredients. Available in a lot of stores!
Red Boat Fish Sauce
Comes in a tube, which is super convenient, but definitely more expensive than the can. You get less too, but it’s a convenience fee I’m willing to pay sometimes. Some canned versions have citric acid. It’s not necessarily bad, but if I can get it wi...
Amore Tomato Paste
This tomato paste tasted a little sweeter than others I’ve tried, but still really good. Love that it’s organic and made with just tomatoes. Found at Sprouts.
Organic Tomato Paste
Thought this tomato sauce was on the sweeter side, but still really good. Made from Italian tomatoes grown in a fully traceable and sustainable supply chain. Their whole line of products is very clean! Found at Sprouts.
Pomi Tomato Sauce
Clean chicken broth has been SO hard to find, but I really like this one because the ingredient list is super clear and simple. Everything is listed out and it feels like how you’d actually make chicken broth at home. It’s also privately owned, which...
Bonafide Provisions Chicken Broth
Drinks
Haven’t tried these yet, but I’ve seen them at Costco in an assortment pack with grapefruit, lemon, and lime. I usually stick to plain sparkling water from H-E-B with lime and salt, but I want to try these for when I’m craving something a little more...
Spindrift Sparkling Water
I like this one because it uses real, simple ingredients instead of a bunch of emulsifiers and fillers you see in a lot of eggnogs. It does have sugar (it’s eggnog lol), but it’s still a solid option if you want something more traditional and less pr...
