Here is a list of fresh veggie produce that I consider staples for all year round! Obviously there are so many amazing options with fresh vegetables, and that can vary by the season... but these are the staples that will always be in my grocery cart!

As someone with Celiac disease and who has tried it all when it comes to gluten-free products, I've come to find that MOST store-bought gluten free bread is processed junk. Here are my best recommendations I can make with what is out there!
When possible, try to go for dairy milk over non-dairy alternatives... and again when possible, go for ORGANIC, grass-fed whole milk & half-n-half / cream.
Malk is one of the FEW non-dairy milks that does not have any added oils in it! Simple ingredients, no added junk.
The versatile egg!
Sourdough is the healthiest choice you can make for bread because of its simple ingredients and fermented properties (and typical lack of additives, etc.). Always read your labels either way!
Aim for grass-fed, organic beef as much as possible.
Find this at Costco for a great price!
Ground turkey typically comes 99% lean or 93% lean (depending how you like the texture); keep in mind 93% lean will have a slightly higher fat content. Go for organic options whenever possible.
Banza chickpea pasta is an awesome higher-protein pasta substitute that has the texture and cooks exactly like regular pasta! Banza has many different shapes and varieties.
I love this organic white rice from Simply Nature (Aldi)! But any will do.
I love stocking up on frozen veggies to have on hand at any time. Frozen fruits & veggies are typically harvested and frozen quickly so the nutrient profile is not lost. Go for organic whenever possible, especially with spinach & green beans.
Always go for wild caught seafood instead of farm raised when possible. If you are buying a large amount of fresh fish, freeze whatever is left in an air tight bag or container and keep it on hand for whenever!
Natural Sea is my favorite brand for canned tuna... the least "fishy" and packs in 32g protein per serving!
Click HERE for my favorite protein supplements. Adding in protein or collagen powder to your breakfast will help boost protein levels!
Fage 0% is my favorite, but there are many other great non-fat options out there - such as Chobani, Too Good, Siggi's, Oikos, etc.
For any kind of cheese, organic is always the best option when it comes to quality and nutrients.
Great to slice up and cook in strips, or cook as is for a large piece.
Canned chicken is convenient, versatile, & high in protein! Costco comes in clutch with their Kirkland Signature but any brand will do. Always check the sodium content as these can pack a salty punch. I will typically rinse my canned chicken after opening to remove some of the sodium content.
8g of protein per noodle square! Upgrade your ramen or stir fry with this gluten-free option made from only organic brown rice & millet flour.
I LOVE sweet potatoes for how versatile they are. You can create something yummy out of them for any meal - Sliced longways & thin to have in place of toast with breakfast, diced & roasted to add to any dish as a side, or grilled/baked whole in tin foil for a soft mashed texture inside.
Perfect to add to your standard egg dish for more protein, or to have on it's own! Using just the egg whites takes away the fat content found in the standard egg that comes from yolk.
Turkey bacon in general has over 60% less fat than traditional pork bacon. Great to boost up your protein!
