The article emphasizes the importance of having nutritious, easy-to-prepare foods for busy parents managing family meals and weight loss. The author, a registered dietitian, shares her personal strategies for stocking up on nutrient-dense items from Costco, such as baby spinach for added greens, protein-rich RxBars, and Rao's marinara sauce free from added sugars. These choices help simplify meal preparation while supporting healthy eating habits and sustainable weight management in a hectic lifestyle.
Having nutritious, balanced foods on hand is half the battle - fortunately, I've found great bulk buys at Costco that come in handy when life gets overwhelming.
Baby spinach is a no-brainer for sneaking more greens into your meals. It's easy to add to smoothies, eggs, and sandwiches - or to use as the base for a quick side salad.
Rao's Homemade marinara fits the bill. The sauce pairs well with chickpea or lentil pasta, which can be good sources of fiber and protein.
One of my other favorite protein-packed Costco buys is RxBars. They have 12 grams of protein per serving, and I like their simple ingredients.
