10 Kitchen Essentials to Lose Weight

Do you go to the grocery store and get confused on what to buy? It can be overwhelming when you are trying to eat better, but yet you don't really know what to look for at the grocery store.

Instead of wandering the aisles, lost and confused, try starting with these basic essentials to get you started. These are just some basics that can be essential in keeping you on track when trying to lose weight.

Kitchen Staples:

1. Frozen Vegetables

2. Frozen Fruit

3. Seasonings - Garlic Pepper, Cayenne Pepper, Chili Powder, Pink Himalayan Salt

4. Protein Powder

5. Cooking Sauces- Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Coconut Oil, Coconut Amino

6. Topping Sauces- Salsa, Primal Kitchen Dressings, Balsamic Vinaigrette

7. Carbs- Sweet potato, Quinoa, Brown Rice, Steel Cut Oats

8. Fiber- Chia Seeds, Flax Seeds, Lentils

9. Egg Whites & Eggs

10. Proteins- Chicken, White Fish, Lean Beef

Most of the pantry items are good to have on hand, and last a long time. Sauces and Seasonings will help flavor your foods plus you can use on the same proteins and still have a different meal.

Protein Powder is essential for those times you need a snack, a post workout recovery shake, or when you don't have time to cook.

Frozen vegetables and frozen fruit help for those times when you forgot to go to the store and need a quick option. Plus, frozen lasts longer than fresh. And sometimes it is cheaper too.
