So, I asked registered dietitian Johannah Katz RD<\/a>, who works as a dietitian for coffee brand Kaffico<\/a>, for some tips. What does she reach for again and again on her weekly grocery run to make healthy meals at home?<\/p>\n Latest Videos FromFit&Well<\/p>\n \u201cWhole Foods is one of my go-to grocery stores,\u201d Katz tells Fit&Well. \u201cAs a registered dietitian and mom-of-two, I look for foods that are nutritious and versatile but also realistic for busy family life.\u201d<\/p>\n These five food staples make it easier to create balanced meals without needing lots of different ingredients.<\/p>\n You may like<\/p>\n Here are Katz\u2019s Whole Foods staples.<\/p>\n 1. Frozen fruit \n <\/a><\/p>\n 365 by Whole Foods Market Organic Berry Blend<\/p>\n \u201cBerries and bananas are favorites in our house because they are naturally sweet, kid-friendly, and incredibly versatile,\u201d Katz says.<\/p>\n \u201cI often buy frozen berries because they last longer, help reduce food waste, and are always ready for smoothies.\u201d<\/p>\n Frozen fruit is rich in fiber, vitamin C and antioxidants, helping support gut health, skin health and immune function.<\/p>\n As well as being more convenient, frozen fruit is frozen shortly after it\u2019s been harvested, which means its nutrients are preserved until you eat them. No more overripe fruit left festering in the back of the fridge!<\/p>\n What to read next<\/p>\n 2. Frozen cauliflower rice \n <\/a><\/p>\n 365 by Whole Foods Market, Organic Riced Cauliflower<\/p>\n \u201cFrozen cauliflower rice is one of my favorite shortcuts. It has a mild flavor, cooks quickly, and makes it easy to add another vegetable to meals,\u201d Katz says.<\/p>\n \u201cI even blend a small amount into smoothies because it adds creaminess without significantly changing the flavor, which is an easy way to get more vegetables into my children\u2019s day,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n Rich in vitamin C, vitamin K and fiber, Katz also adds cauliflower rice to stir-fries and grain bowls to support immune function, bone health and digestion.<\/p>\n As a bonus, it\u2019s naturally lower in carbs and calories compared with regular rice, making it an easy way to bulk out meals without sacrificing on volume or satiety.<\/p>\n 3. Lean ground beef \n <\/a><\/p>\n \u201cLean ground beef is another practical staple because it cooks quickly and can be used in so many family-friendly meals,\u201d Katz says.<\/p>\n It\u2019s an excellent source of protein, which helps maintain muscle mass and satiety, as well as iron and vitamin B12 which are needed to help you maintain your energy levels.<\/p>\n \u201cWe make tacos frequently using lean ground beef because everyone can customize their own with the toppings they enjoy,\u201d says Katz. \u201cI also use the beef in rice bowls, pasta sauce, or simple skillet meals.\u201d<\/p>\n 4. Asparagus \n <\/a><\/p>\n \u201cAsparagus is one of the non-starchy vegetables everyone in our household enjoys,\u201d says Katz. \u201cI usually roast it as an easy side for dinner.\u201d<\/p>\n Rich in folate, vitamin K and fiber, asparagus supports cell growth, bone health and digestion. It\u2019s also naturally low in calories, making it an easy way to add volume and nutrients to a plate without impacting your overall calorie intake too much.<\/p>\n 5. Greek yogurt \n <\/a><\/p>\n Too Good & Co. Zero Sugar<\/p>\n \u201cGreek yogurt provides a convenient source of protein that works for breakfast, snacks, or meals on the go,\u201d says Katz.<\/p>\n As well as protein, Greek yoghurt is also a source of calcium and probiotics, and helps to support muscle maintenance, bone health and gut health.<\/p>\n Because it\u2019s strained to remove excess whey and liquid, Greek yogurt is thicker than regular yogurt and typically contains around double the protein per serving too.<\/p>\n Opt for low-sugar options like Katz, who eats it with fruit, adds it to smoothies, or uses it as a higher-protein substitute for sour cream in savory dishes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I\u2019m always looking for inspiration on what to pick up at my weekly grocery shop.
