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]

Desirae Baker 😂😂

[@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

[@dontstressitx3]

LMAO that laugh at the beginning hahah

[@Musket-uq9rg]

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

[@arvindhmani06]

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

[@zephyrowner]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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.

[@merai4024]

THANK YOU I HAVE BEEN SEARCHIN' FOR DAYS FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS!

[@JF-nc7bw]

MAKE MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS! This was amazing, funny adds many ideas to the shopping list!

[@crisramirez8800]

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

[@carloslamadrid4799]

Thank you for your advice that helps me improve my overall fitness and diet.

[@leeshyeternally]

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

[@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

Just discovered your channel and I love it! Thank you so much for your wonderful recipes! I am gonna try to attempt to make some of them one of these days.

Great video! I love the frozen coconut tip for smoothies- sounds delicious!

[@Tintdaddy88]

So glad I found this channel. Looks exactly like my grocery trips to kroger

[@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

[@beccaivy0909]

First time watching. Enjoyed!

[@abicus1234]

Couldn't have dropped a video at a better time! About to go grocery shopping!

[@Dereece10]

abicus1234 I'm bored at work and this video is clutch on the brink of boredom lol

[@deidrataylor2919]

Love the freezing the bread idea

[@sonja4164]

That laugh is so infectious! 😂😂😂😂

[@jolcese81]

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

[@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

[@heartsj568]

I loved how you edited your video and I love love your laughs

[@fitmencook]

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

[@calygirl2706]

Lol you are fun to watch thanks for the recipes and tips.

[@summerblairh]

Amazing. Thank you so much for this!

[@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

[@pnutbutrncrackers]

This is actually a very good, helpful video. Thank you!

[@mercedescartagena4295]

So simple and so easy, thank you!

[@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.

[@poohbaby0125]

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

[@smokyFPV]

Your laugh cracks me up hard! XD

[@agranado09]

Great video!! I love to cook maybe not as healthy as you sometimes,but i always have basmati rice, raw nuts,quinoa and couscous in my pantry!!

[@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 !

[@TheLilacStar]

I love bread!!! I'm not a fit man nor a good cook but I love your channel!

Love the editing!🤣😂 I'm vravking up!

[@kkoreatheempressayhung6764]

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.

[@TheJonnyJager]

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

[@Quettasbedhead]

Yoo the accuracy of the clips!! So funny

[@angelicfrequency471]

you've got the best channel, yummy variety, you need over 1 million subs ... i'm telling my friends

[@irainkoolaidTTV]

i love this guy!

[@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.

[@HK-th1sw]

Love your channel!

[@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.

[@dorothylogan4575]

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

[@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.

[@jellyb3ankilla]

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.

[@amykolby]

just found your channel... it is great!!!!

[@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]

[@TheKos2Kos]

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

[@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..

[@loper1105]

Loved this video! Great tips :)

[@CassieTranthesuperfitbabe]

LOVE THIS, HAHA! I gotta relate-bread and rice are the best! OMG AND PEANUT BUTTER YES PEANUT BUTTER.

[@TAYBAY94]

My notes have everything you mentioned to buy at the grocery store going tomorrow hope this works! I gained over 100 pounds from my accident so hope this diet works 🤞

[@Itamar_Palgi]

Great video! Keep the great work ❤️

[@2075vj]

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

[@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.

[@jessicagaspar5401]

Great video!! Thank you!

[@ArlenesLifestyle]

Very entertaining and editing on point.

[@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.

[@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.

[@luannedimaggio2802]

Just plain fun

[@bienglen1702]

I really like your channel! Keep it up bro! 👍

[@staciemurray514]

Your laugh☺️

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

[@C2676GDH]

Thank you bro.....

[@naishlarox23]

That intro though 🤣🤣

[@DrAdnan]

Great tips!

[@frankcalderon4710]

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

[@smalltalk8942]

That laugh 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Rashaadthegr8]

See I see stubbs bbq sauce and bubba Ray's they the best ever but they high in sodium.

[@kmmeiss]

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

[@intuitive_duck]

I like your ideas. I follow similar lines of thinking when it comes to food diversity. I love to have Asian sauces like soy sauce, fish sauce, oyster sauce, sweet chili sauce, sesame oil, & hot chili oil. Yum! 😁

[@pepcaladno6251]

Where are your new videos? I love them so much :(

[@EATWITHLUIS]

Deez nutz 😂😂 awesome videos my dude ! Got my loyal follow !

[@scottyhaines4226]

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

[@zsoltoroszlany7172]

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! :)

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