Nutritionist-Approved Goodies to Snag on Your Next Supermarket Trip

Tomatoes are a potent source of beneficial antioxidants, including vitamin C and lycopene. We love the miniature size of these Hiiros (Japanese for “scarlet red”) tomatoes from Nature Fresh Farms that are perfect for healthy snacking. They have an incredibly fresh, rich umami flavor too. Hiiros are greenhouse grown, which means that all aspects of the growing conditions, from sunlight, to water, to soil are set to ideal conditions for growing these organic tomatoes and make them available year-round.

The more veggies the merrier in our opinion, which is why we love Green Giant's lineup of plant-forward choices. These nutrient-packed frozen vegetables are simple (made with only one ingredient), easy t0 use and quick to prepare. Swap these pre-prepped veggies for standard pasta and rice, and you'll slash up to 90% of the calories in traditional recipes.

This cross between an Enterprise and Honeycrisp apple took researchers at Washington State University 20 years to develop, and it was totally worth the wait. The Cosmic Crisp apple is large, juicy, and simply delicious. We love that it's slow to brown which makes it perfect for snacking, and its natural sweetness is delicious in baked goods. This pick is low-calorie yet nutrient-dense, packed with antioxidants and excellent fiber counts for a nourishing addition to just about any meal or snack.

Eggs are an affordable, nutrient-dense staple that add a protein boost to any meal. But by swapping out traditional generic eggs for Eggland's Best eggs, you're getting substantially more micronutrients and antioxidants (namely six times more vitamin D, ten times more vitamin E, and more than double the Vitamin B12 than ordinary eggs). That's because Eggland's Best uses a wholesome, all-vegetarian feed. Try them scrambled over avocado toast or serve them up Shakshuka style.

ALDI offers high-quality, healthy items at budget-friendly prices that taste great too. We love products like this popcorn from their GH Nutritionist Approved Simply Nature line that is made with wholesome, simple ingredients. This choice is 100% USDA Organic, non-GMO Project verified, and certified gluten-free. At only 35 calories a cup, this filling snack is packed with fiber and wholesome whole grain goodness.

Experience all the delicious flavors of an everything bagel sans the salt with this fantastic seasoning blend from DASH. Sprinkle it on hard-boiled eggs or avocado toast for an instant flavor boost. DASH seasonings are a staple in the GH Nutrition Lab for adding quality flavor without sodium. Even if you aren't following a low-sodium diet, this choice is super versatile and will easily become a pantry must-have in your household.

McCann's Irish Steel Cut Oats provide a hefty dose of fiber, vitamins, and minerals per serving — and get you a hot breakfast in minutes. They also come in convenient microwavable cups too. A diet rich in whole grains and other plant foods can reduce your risk of certain diseases, making the health benefits of oats plentiful and a versatile choice for any meal. We find this choice very hearty and perfect for a filling breakfast option.
