I've lost 30 pounds and rely on these 11 products from Aldi to help me keep the weight off
Over the past year, I've lost 30 pounds and relied on some Aldi products to keep the weight off. I love snacking on things like cheese, blueberries, sliced turkey, and dill-pickle chips. Fresh ground turkey and rotisserie-style pulled chicken are my go-to sources of protein. After adopting a largely low-carb lifestyle last summer, I've lost 30 pounds. Early in the process, Aldi quickly became my go-to grocery store for stocking my refrigerator and pantry. From proteins to fresh fruits and vegetables, these are the 11 products that have been a mainstay and help me keep the weight off. The Kirkwood fresh ground turkey is my go-to source of protein. Fresh ground turkey is my favorite way to get my protein in because it's versatile and easy to cook quickly. My favorite way to prepare it is with taco seasoning. I use the meat to make taco salads with vegetables or enjoy it as a taco with a low-carb tortilla. Canned beans keep me satisfied throughout the day. Although legumes tend to be high in carbohydrates, I find that incorporating them into my diet makes me feel more satiated. The Dakota's Pride kidney beans from Aldi are my favorite because they taste great in my lunchtime salads. Riced cauliflower is my favorite versatile staple. Although I haven't always enjoyed riced cauliflower from other brands, the Season's Choice garlic and herb version is seriously good. My favorite ways to prepare it include using truffle oil for an Italian-style twist on risotto or pan-frying it for Asian-style fried rice with an egg, paleo teriyaki sauce, and a protein. I love snacking on Happy Farms cheese. I'm a big snacker, and my go-to pick is always cheese. The Happy Farms cheese blocks from Aldi are budget-friendly and inexpensive. I always grab a package of Aldi's rotisserie-style pulled chicken. Another of my favorite versatile protein sources is Aldi's rotisserie-style pulled chicken. I like to use it in salads or a low-carb tortilla to make a wrap. When I'm craving pizza, I also pair it with a tortilla to create an air-fried low-sugar barbecue flatbread. Blueberries are a versatile favorite. I'm not typically a huge fan of fruit, but I love berries. Luckily, I can always count on Aldi for great blueberries with a sweet and tart flavor profile. I like to have them in the morning as a breakfast side dish, or at night as a dessert with whipped cream. Aldi's spicy guacamole is very tasty. I'm a huge fan of dips and sauces, and Aldi's spicy guacamole is surprisingly tasty for a prepackaged option. I like to pair it with a turkey taco salad or scoop it out with cucumber chips. I like to pick up a three-pack of green peppers. The deli-sliced honey turkey breast makes the perfect snack. I find it easiest to stay on track with my eating habits when I keep easy-to-grab protein sources handy. Although I prefer hand-sliced turkey from the deli counter, the pre-sliced turkey from Aldi has become a staple in my house. I often snack on it during the day or when my protein intake is low. I use the Friendly Farms vanilla almond milk to make a shaken espresso. Fancy coffee drinks can quickly pack on the calories. So, I prefer to keep it simple and make an at-home variation of an iced shaken espresso. I typically use a double shot of espresso, the Friendly Farms unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and a sugar-free syrup. This delivers on flavor with fewer carbs and calories. I love snacking on dill-pickle chips.
