QUICK COOKING RICE PACKETS

Aldi Brown Rice and Quinoa Packets

Aldi Quiona & Brown Rice Packets

Quick cooking rice packets are such a great pantry staple, they are quick, easy, and delicious. My two favorites: Simply Nature 90 Second Quinoa & Brown Rice (pictured here) and Simply Nature Seven Grains.

Nutrition highlight: Both varieties are whole grain, which delivers fiber that helps to keep you full and provide longer lasting energy.


EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL

Aldi Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Aldi has great priced extra virgin olive oil! Per ounce it is only about $0.35, which is less per ounce than other comparable olive oils.

Extra virgin olive oil is a great staple to keep on hand for sautéing, roasting, and use in sauces and salad dressings.

Nutrition highlight: Extra virgin olive oil is made from the first press of the olives, making it the most nutrient-rich olive oil.

EVERYTHING BAGEL SEASONING

Stonemill Everything Bagel Seasoning

Everything bagel spice is a flavor-packed and has become a staple I love to use in recipes, like Everything Smashed Potatoes, and as a topper for avocado toast.

Also check out the new flavor varieties, including Jalapeno Everything Bagel Seasoning, which gives a mild spice kick!

Nutrition highlight: Only 5 calories per serving, it adds a flavor boost with minimal calories.

MINI AVOCADOS

What is great about mini avocados is they are the perfect size to top slices of toast, add to tacos, or to whip up a small batch of guacamole.

Nutrition Highlight: Mini avocados have about half the calories of whole avocados with about 160 calories per mini avocado. Plus, avocados are packed with heart healthy fats, along with fiber!

Product Picks

I'm on a constant quest to try new foods, and products! Here are a couple of recent options that were a hit. 

Cotton Candy Grapes from the Grapery

Cotton Candy Grapes from the Grapery

UNIQUE + DELICIOUS CANDY GRAPES

These Cotton Candy grapes from the Grapery are full of flavor and delicious. They are super sweet and definitely have a cotton candy-like taste. 

In my opinion they are worth putting on your shopping list and can even double as a dessert. 

The Grapery website explains more about the way that these grapes get their unique flavor, its really interesting and worth a read, click here! And don't wait, they are only available for a short period of time, according to their website now through September 20. 

Pressed By KIND Bars

Pressed By KIND Bars

ON-THE-GO FRUIT

Sometimes schedules call for on-the-go options and Pressed by KIND bars are a perfect way to add in fruit on busy days or in lunch boxes! Plus the bars have a simple ingredient list and each has 2 servings of fruit per bar.

For example, the Cherry, Apple, Chia bar ingredient list is literally - cherry, apple, and chia. There is not any added sugar or sweeteners, which is great! Each bar has 130 calories and delivers 3 grams of fiber. 

They are also available in additional flavors including: Mango Apple Chia, Dark Chocolate Strawberry, Dark Chocolate Banana, Strawberry Apple Cherry Chia, and Pineapple Banana Kale Spinach. You can order Pressed by KIND bars direct from KIND Snacks website or look for them in grocery stores, Target, and more.  

Green Giant Riced Veggies 

Green Giant Riced Veggies 

INNOVATIVE VEGGIES

One of the newest ways to enjoy veggies is 'riced' veggies. The texture of veggies when they are chopped fine is so interesting and especially cauliflower, takes on the texture of almost being rice-like. 

You can make your own riced veggies but these frozen bags are super convenient! Plus they come in great flavor combinations like pictured here, Cauliflower with Lemon and Garlic. 

Once cup of riced veggies has only 30 calories and is a perfect side dish! Or try plain riced cauliflower as a stand-in for rice with stir-fry or even made into a fried 'rice' dish. Look for riced veggies in the freezer section of the grocery store. Click here for more information on Riced Veggies from Green Giant.
