Healthy Grocery Essentials for Your Pantry & Freezer

[@bodyknowsbest-kernkapoor6502]

Haha love the practicality of this video. Quick recap of people wanting a summary: - Frozen veggies and fruits - Canned goods (tomatoes, broth) - Instant products (rice) - Ethnic Inspo (red and green curry paste, coconut cream/paste) - Whole grain bread - Condiments, sauces and dressings (less sodium and sugar) - Raw nuts and seeds - Mineral water "Everybody needs a bit of curry in their lives."

[@intuitive_duck]

Body Knows Best - Kern Kapoor And some "Raw nuts." 🤣

[@bodyknowsbest-kernkapoor6502]

[@chicagogirl14]

Thanks for the recap! Going grocery shopping now and this saved me lol

[@Fortuna_716]

@@intuitive_duck Raw nuts as in not roasted or whatever else

[@hanigharaibeh]

Man you have no idea how much I love your videos.I sometimes dont even meal prep I just watch them for entertainment.MAD RESPECT

[@arvindhmani06]

EGGS, EGGS, EGGS I literally cannot live without them. They are the most versatile food item ever.

[@fitmencook]

Don't forget to check the blog post to get the full list! 😁👍

[@chattahoochee11]

Always get chicken breasts when they're on sale and keep them portioned in the freezer! Most used protein and it gets pricey when not on sale, also get egg whites in bulk at Costco and keep extra cartons in my freezer!

[@zephyrowner]

That might be the cleanest grocery store I've ever seen ( and I'm a merchandiser!).

[@WindToTheSAMA]

I'm late to the party but I love this video. My go-to pantry items are oatmeal and peanut butter. When I'm depressed and just trying to survive I will make instant oatmeal, mix in peanut butter while it is hot then add in 6 halves of strawberries or slices of banana that are pre frozen (this cools it off quickly and thaws the fruit so I can eat it soon, which is doubly helpful if I'm tight on time). I keep half a dozen to a dozen containers of frozen fruit on hand (all fruit bought fresh when on sale because buying frozen bagged fruit is not an option for me as I can't stand the residual plastic taste it leaves behind). I must be frugal to survive so oatmeal is a very affordable option to keep it healthy. Buying thick cut rolled oats and adding flax seeds and cinnamon can keep it even healthier, but sometimes depression doesn't play nice so I do keep a stock of instant oatmeal packets. The added sugar may not be ideal for some people but eating instant oatmeal is much better than not eating at all. Take care of yourselves and remember no one is perfect and you don't have to eat 'healthy' 100% of the time. Some effort is better than no effort and we all fall down. Just remember to get back up, even if it takes some time. In the last 3 years I've lost 60 pounds by making gradual, small changes over that time and learning more and more about nutrition, mental health, and myself. It's a journey and sometimes you'll feel stuck for months at a time - keep going. You'll be able to look back someday and see how you've changed.

[@Langey_Fitness]

Congrats on making those little consistent shifts over the years! I always recommend instant alternatives for anyone. Healthy choices depends on more than just the commonly accepted "healthy" foods, you're absolutely right!

[@dontstressitx3]

LMAO that laugh at the beginning hahah

[@Musket-uq9rg]

dontstressitx3 ive replayed thr beginning several times laughing my ass of at that

[@melanienicholson2834]

I find it cheaper to buy vegetable paste bouillon in a jar and keep in refrig and not paying for water in the broth. Also more room in your pantry.

[@genevafrancois4245]

As someone who just moved, I really appreciate this video. I'm able to stock up my kitchen without while staying healthy and on budget

[@linettee.houser5156]

yes Yvonne Tomenga,that stuff is the best EVER !! I Love the veggie one and must have it on hand one or two lol and even though they are small,they last a long time because you just need a little

[@robinkershen1054]

You are so adorable! My niece just bought your book and was raving about your recipes... She made the Moroccan chicken recipe and lost her mind!! Anyway, I think I will buy the book because after listening to her raving about you and because, after watching your video, love your attitude, personality and I think you can make anyone smile!!! God Bless! Subscribing!

[@thescarecrow.8581]

I buy an awful lot of fresh tomatoes. To the point where I go to the greengrocers buy a tray. Every now and again I make batches roasted tomato sauce. I do this usually when tomatoes on offer or they are selling them off cheap because I starting to get soft.

[@kiminthekitchen]

Must haves in my pantry are hot sauce, cumin, cinnamon, pink salt, frozen cauliflower, and almond flour. I’ve been making baked Buffalo Cauliflower lately

[@Nuani7]

Ahh, you’re up on that new technology-frozen cauliflower in the pantry! 😉🤗😂

[@kiminthekitchen]

BethK NYC 😂😂😂 I was just thinking kitchen staples

[@lamarsmith5310]

A must have for me is 🥑 mayo and sugar free jam or jelly. Jam goes well in Greek or Bulgarian yogurt.

[@psainvestor6111]

Tuna fish is my must have

[@blumerlredpilledgirl8958]

I’m back in control of my pantry items you’ve covered it pretty well. Away with the junk food (hubby) fruits and smoothies when sweets are needed. I feel better just watching this video.

[@jolcese81]

Oats, lots of them! Dried fruit for extra fiber. And noodles, because noodles make every dish better!

[@linettee.houser5156]

heyyy Brotha ! I just Love you and your Mon and Dad they are so blessed to have you as their precious Son I'm starting plant base program to help with the weight and the diabetes I gained a year ago

[@mozione]

Great video Kevin. Curious as to what bread you buy and what else you put on it besides avocado and nut spread. Trying to find healthy breakfast alternatives to cold cuts. Thanks in advance..

[@Cocoamelanated]

These are my must haves at all time: Bag of salad, Hummus, Cucumbers, Black Beans, Brown rice, Canned tomatoes, chicken, ground turkey, eggs, whole wheat tortillas

[@kout31]

StephAnn Diary Go vegan.

[@TheKos2Kos]

Greek yogurt. I use it in tuna salad, replacement for sour cream, put it in smoothies, serve with my spicy curries

[@laurenschexnider2799]

Eggs, chicken breasts & thighs, mustard, frozen blueberries, vegetable broth, canned tomatoes, olive oil and spices. The mustard, olive oil and spices can make a dressing and/or marinade for chicken. The broth and chicken can make soup or stew. Healthy, simple and economically viable is the goal.

[@aleshabee7386]

This video is hilarious...the editing is on point. Pantry items I always have on hand are brown rice (not my fav but I'm trying since white rice and I have a love-love relationship, lol), coconut milk, curry, tea/coffee and lots n lots of spices/seasonings...you should do a similar video but focusing on spices/seasonings.

[@fitmencook]

coming up actually! all about the essential spices and seasonings!

[@lamarsmith5310]

Fit Men Cook sweet! I can't wait.

[@TheJonnyJager]

I remember when grocery stores looked like that! So much food and no one in a mask! those were the days!

[@Boudleaux]

Wait...did I see Topo Chico?! I wish we could get that here in TN.

[@2075vj]

Make sure those tomato are organic bc they’re on the dirty dozen list. Thanks for sharing

[@maryambraiber6460]

Can you make a Zero Waste grocery shopping video ? It'd be amazing to watch and at the same time a great experience to u !

[@mikekuppen6256]

:-) Love the enthusiasm. O, and I did NOT know your last name... Also also: those cashews may not be roasted but they´re very likely not raw as most cashews by far get heated to remove the toxic husk.

[@angelal8457]

Somehow I have never thought about making my own honey mustard before. Wow. What an awesome idea. I'll have to try it out. Thank you for another great video! :)

[@Fortuna_716]

It's amazing, I use honey and Dijon, that's the best combo, skip the yellow

[@ntmediadgirl]

First all the editing was 💣💣💣 Secondly, this was as entertaining as it was informative. Great content. I’m loving the direction your channel is headed.

[@loper1105]

Do you have any tips on cooking frozen veggies so they don’t come out so mushy?

[@freestyle7020]

How much all of these cost?

[@ariannemiska7022]

Where is your shirt from?! I love it

[@zsoltoroszlany]

OMG I wish you would come here to shope ... lets say in global Europe not to mention Slovakia. I'm pretty sure the whole shopping tour would end just a split of seconds if not sooner. It is painful to watch ... I mean, I'm happy for you living a place where all those awesome foods are available! :)

[@zsoltoroszlany]

Oh c'mon, keshu nuts, I love it! I'm speechless 😍

[@BodyconfidentU]

Content always on point. I'm from the Caribbean so having fresh green seasoning is a must...like chives...shadon beni...celantro...and of course peppers for natural spiciness. Chreers!!!

[@kingjulien1726]

Bodyconfident U hit meh some yam, dasheen, cassava. I basically live in the market lol. Doesn't make sense buying anything in a supermarket since most of the goods are super processed n loaded with preservatives

[@kmmeiss]

What do you think about broth concentrate instead of broth? It takes up way less space.

[@bethbrec]

Can coconut milk/cream be frozen for use in smoothies? There's no way I could use a whole can all at once.

[@Nuani7]

Beth Brec Store the leftover in a mason jar or similar.

[@JadePeteyCoker]

I hope that’s not your real card because you just showed us the whole number. That laugh in the beginning 😂😂

[@dorothylogan4575]

Love this video good choices of healthy food 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@drewschiefelbein5471]

I need Apple's, sweet potatoes, fresh meat, pico, and canned no salt added beans (on top of what u usually get)

[@lunadistante.]

Drew Schiefelbein where do they sell no salt added canned beans? whole foods?

[@crisramirez8800]

Loved this video! Please do more grocery shopping videos. Your suggestions are very helpful.

[@LuisXLT4772]

Me da gusto que añades español. Don't think there aren't people reading both! :D

[@SabrinaVideo]

Se dice "que añadas" presente de subjuntivo. Only for reference, I'm trying not to be unpolite. Ha ha. You can correct my sentences in English if you want.

[@elsabuck6008]

También puedes decir “añades” cuando TÚ añades algo en ese momento. No dirás “cuando tú añadas algo en ese momento... añades es presente. Añadas es en el futuro. Very nice, funny and informative video honey. Thank you so much.

[@YA55MOS]

Good video, should get the frozen items last so they don't defrost whilst you do the rest of the shopping....

I loved this video and I took notes! I keep super firm tofu on hand & frozen veggies.

Why do you go for the light versions of salad dressing? The light versions always have more sugar

Bet that recipe was through the roof lol, definitely gonna use some of these ideas though great content. Probably will go to Aldi for a lot of it though and cut my prices in half compared to Kroger.

[@frankcalderon4710]

I'm learning from you. I just keep this video and take my phone with me to the store.

Great vid. Love the nutty banter and laughter. My fav go to would be ketchup but I can't have just yet, next go to I can eat with no botherness is almond butter yum smeared on oatmeal, cranberry, and raw cacao chip cookies. Healing comes first. I am doing the paleo diet. Keep the vids flowing. Will be sharing it with my peops.

[@Supppppp7]

I love this!! And we have the same last name!! Y me encanta que tú hablas español!!

[@yvonnetomenga5726]

👍Excellent video with 2 exceptions. Rather than buying the cartons of stock, there is a product called "Better Than Bouillon." This is a paste, not a dried cube. It comes in a small jar and 1 tsp makes 1 cup. Once opened, the jar needs refrigeration. This product is great for people who don't have a whole lot of storage space for the boxes of stock. Because the packaging is smaller, it's more environmentally friendly to transport from manufacturer to store and store to home. In addition to the traditional beef, chicken and turkey flavors, they have others such as mushroom. If you buy the low sodium version, you can reduce it to intensify the flavor without it becoming too salty. I first heard about in Cooks magazine and once I tried it I wondered why I had ever bothered lugging the boxes around. The second issue is PLASTIC BAGS. OMG, in this day and age, an influencer such as yourself isn't using reusable bags⁉️ Come on - You focus on what's healthy for your body; you need to include what's healthy for your environment. OK, rant over. Everything else was great. Thanks.

[@alaina5232]

I tell everyone about better than bouillon! I don’t know why anyone buys stock anymore.

[@sonja4164]

Better Than Bouillon is that bizness!

[@swirlyxbo0]

Where can you get it? Like just a regular stop & shop?

[@sonja4164]

swirlyxbo0 I get it from either Meijer, Whole Foods, or a local health food store. If you can't find it locally, you can order it online.

[@swirlyxbo0]

how does freezing bread work out for you? do you take the whole thing out the night before or do you freeze them in separate bags or what? & does it taste "the same"? lmao sorry dumb questions maybe but I've wondered about this exactly because i always feel rushed to eat the bread

[@elestudioscrap]

I've The same questions and another one...how long can you keep it on the freezer

[@Cocoamelanated]

I freeze my bread and if I want bread, I take a few slices out the night before and put in refrig to defrost to use next day

[@dgodoom]

You could freeze the whole loaf and take the slices you want to eat. I thought if you put bread in the toaster while frozen would make it soggy but it actually toasts just as if it wasn’t frozen. 👌🏼

[@intuitive_duck]

I love freezing bread. We'll buy extra on sale, freeze it, thaw it on the counter in the morning. By lunch it should be thawed or close depending on the thickness of the bread. You can also toast frozen bread, it's great in a pinch! 😊

[@lhamilt]

I freeze a sliced loaf and just toast a couple slices at a time. Want soft but not toasted? Zap in microwave briefly. Lasts 1-2mo in freezer before getting freezer burnt.

[@504nikie]

Tomato paste does not go in gumbo or jambalaya.
