Shopping List

Costco: Many items can be found at other stores, I just like Costco’s quantity, freshness, and price

Normandy Frozen Vegetable Package

Nature's Path, Pumpkin and Flax Seed Granola

Butternut squash pasta sauce (new item, recipe ideas to come)

Earth Bound Farms Lettuce Spring Mix

low-fat Canadian bacon: found in coolers with packages lunch meats and cheeses

4 dozen egg flat (I like their freshness). I have also bought their omega 3 eggs

Fresh blackberries, bananas, mushrooms, and romaine lettuce: in produce

Frozen whole strawberries, and blueberries (best price I’ve seen)

Salsa, We use tons of this so big is not a problem We like the Organic Salsa, but most any salsa is fine, just check for added sugars. We also love their Mango Salsa in the refrigerated section, which does have carbs. and calories to consider

Rosarita fat-free refried beans (case of 8)

Natural Apple Sauce (no sugar) I use a lot for baking, so I buy the case

“Food Should Taste Good” Whole grain tortilla chips These snack chips or crackers are low in bad fat, high in fiber and protein, we love them with melted cheese, and salsa.

Low-fat Cottage Cheese (Country Classic) I like it for it’s taste and price

Flat buns: hamburger buns, or deli subs. that are only 10 usable carbs. (remember to subtract the fiber from the total carbs)

Flat Bagels: only 110 calories, kids love these, soft white, whole wheat.

Flat out : flat breads that can be found at most stores but at Costco in a multi pkg. is cheapest around. I use these for pizzas, rollups and burritos

Granny’s Delight Bread: Whole Wheat high fiber bread that is so soft that your kids will love it

Basmati Rice (white, or wheat) Low on the Glycemic Index

Agava, Low calorie and low Glycemic index sweetener (comes in a 2 pack looks like maple syrup)

"Classico" Pasta Sauce

Canned Black Beans

"Kirkland", Grilled Chicken Breast Strips

"Maranatha", Almond Butter

Most grocery stores (Walmart):

Mission carb chopper tortillas

Wheat pita bread,

Natural calorie free sweetener Truvia (found with the sweeteners and artificial sweeteners in a cute green box with a picture of a strawberry on the box

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Spray, for popcorn, vegetables and breads.

Wish Bone Salad Spritzers: I like Italian

Light mozzarella Cheese Sticks only 2g. of fat compared to the regular version which are 3x the fat or more.

Greek Yogurt: I buy the fat-free plain. I add my own sweetener and berries for a balanced snack. Greek yogurt is much higher in protein.

Smiths:

CARBmaster yogurt: kroger brand, 12g. protein, 4-5 g. carbs, 80 calories, tastes great, great price
