*Nutrition Note!

There will now be a little "Nutrition note" listed on most products in the grocery lists either letting you know that a product is "Amanda approved!" or if there are any ingredients listed to be mindful of. Overall, the items chosen on The Fit Foodie grocery lists are healthy and high in quality, but with any processed food it can be hard to 100% avoid additives, gums, fillers, etc.

Ghee

Ghee

Ghee is clarified butter - butter that has been heated & cooled in order to remove water content, increase its smoke point and also remove casein & lactose (for those with dairy sensitivities)... AND give it a richer flavor. Great for cooking or replacing traditional pasteurized butter with (on toast, etc.!) and a healthy saturated fat.

Raw Honey

Raw Honey

Honey is usually written off as "too sugary" but there are so many amazing properties to honey. It is a perfect topping and natural sweetener - though calorie-wise sugar is still sugar, you are always better health-wise going for natural / unprocessed sugar sources. Honey also offers amazing health benefits for fighting allergies & colds, and makes a great quick pre-workout!

Avocado or Olive Oil Mayo

Avocado or Olive Oil Mayo

Traditional mayo is loaded with canola (seed oils). Go for avocado or olive oil (100% - not mixed) based mayo. Primal kitchen has a great avocado mayo!

Bragg's Vinaigrette

Bragg's Vinaigrette

This dressing has the cleanest ingredients I've seen in a flavorful dressing, and a little bit goes a long way! Use it as a dressing or marinade... it's so good on chicken!

G Hughes Sugar Free Sauces

G Hughes Sugar Free Sauces

G Huges sauces are always sugar free & gluten free! These are so good, but highly processed - so use only occassionally. Personal favorite might be the caribbean jerk sauce... but it's a hard call.

Organic Unsweetened Apple Sauce

Organic Unsweetened Apple Sauce

I love using apple sauce as a substitute for butter in baking, or for just adding a yummy apple flavor to pancakes or mug cakes (see my apple cinnamon mug cake recipe HERE). Try to go for unsweetened apple sauce and avoid unnecessary added sugars!

TJ's Organic Yellow Mustard

TJ's Organic Yellow Mustard

My new favorite mustard. Has the taste of traditional yellow mustard but the texture of spicy/ground dijon type mustard. Hard to explain but so good. And ZERO cals per serving!

My Favorite Pasta Sauces

My Favorite Pasta Sauces

Victoria is one of my favorite store-bought pasta sauces as far as flavor goes. Their marinara is about 70 calories per half-cup serving and no added sugar.

A fan favorite for seasoning rice, veggies, fish, chicken or really anything for a Mexican-inspired dish!

He's got a variety for any type of meat or fish - but either way they are all amazing! Use it on seafood, chicken, turkey, eggs, avocado, rice etc.

Perfect fun replacement for its higher-fat pork counterpart.

Alessi Balsamic Reduction

Alessi Balsamic Reduction

Love to use this drizzled over salads or pizza, instead of adding a heavier or oil-based dressing.
