My ALDI Product Staples - bits and bites

This post has been sponsored by ALDI USA, but all thoughts and opinions are my own. If you all follow me on Instagram, you’ll know that I LOVE ALDI. From their seasonal Finds to my everyday groceries, you can truly find anything you need at this store. I’ve gotten so many people hooked on ALDI, and I am HERE for it. I’m always sure to check my Weekly Ad every Wednesday to see what’s upcoming for the next week. I’ve gotten some of my favorite home good items there in the ALDI Finds aisle, plus I’ve made some of my best meals with their wide selection of groceries. To get a little bit of a foundation before throwing you into the fire, I’m sharing a few of my favorite product staples that I always grab every time I make a trip there.

SIMPLY NATURE ORGANIC MIXED GREENS

ALDI Product Staples, what to buy at ALDI 2020. This Simply Nature line from ALDI has the best spring mix. It makes for easy salads, ingredient for green smoothie recipes and more - by bits and bites #aldistaples #aldihaul #aldifinds #aldipantry

You can always count on me picking up a package of Simply Nature Organic Spring Mix. I use this to make easy salads, pack it into smoothies, or use it for toppings for tacos and sandwiches.

PRO TIP: If you want them to last longer, put a paper towel in the container. It soaks up the moisture making your greens stay crisp and fresher for longer.

SIMPLY NATURE - GREEN PEA CRISPS

ALDI Product Staples, what to buy at ALDI 2020. These baked green pea crisps are a great, healthy snack idea for all ages - by bits and bites #aldistaples #aldihaul #aldifinds #aldipantry

Similar to the Simply Nature Organic Spring Mix, this is one of my ALDI staples for an easy, healthier snack option. As you can see, they are baked, gluten-free (for those of you who live that lifestyle) and they come in a Caesar flavor and a regular baked flavor. I honestly buy both flavors whenever I’m at ALDI. I like pairing them with some hummus or just eating them plain.

liveGfree Organic Brown Rice & Quinoa Pasta

Aldi Product Staples includes this gluten-free pasta. I love ALDI's Gluten-Free line of products. This pasta is made with organic brown rice and quinoa so even if you're not gluten-free this makes for a great unprocessed ingredient swap.

I’ve mentioned this before, I am not gluten-free for medical reasons, I’m not even 100% gluten-free. I like to opt for “better-for-you” grocery options, and these liveGfree Organic Brown Rice and Quinoa pasta blends are my favorites! They are so affordable compared to other gluten-free options, and they cook great.

PRO TIP: After they are cooked and you drain your pasta, immediately run with cold water. Gluten-Free pasta water can get a bit more starchy than normal pasta and rinsing them with cold water rinses that extra starch leaving you with the perfect noodle!

Earth Grown Veggie Burgers

ALDI vegetarian grocery staples, these veggie burgers are the best. I use them for easy lunches like tacos or salad toppings - bits and bites #aldistaples #aldiproducts

I always have these in my freezer. I love love love making veggie burger tacos for a quick and easy lunch. With the different varieties of veggie burgers, you can opt for a traditional black bean or these quinoa crunch ones are my favorite. They cook in the microwave, and you have enough “filling” for two tacos after cutting the burgers in half. Also, these veggie burgers were voted by ALDI shoppers as one of their Fan Favorite products for 2020. These are seriously the best!

NEVER ANY! CHICKEN BREAST TENDERLOINS

ALDI product staples, this Never Any! Chicken is the best. It is cage free chicken, It's great for easy dinner recipes from stir fry to crock pot meals - bits and bites #aldiproducts #aldihaul

I love how affordable their Never Any! brand is. For quality chicken, this entire, nearly 1.5 lbs, is only a little over $6 (prices do vary by location!) I love having this chicken, whether in the fridge or freezer, for easy weeknight dinners. You can dice it up, cook it with frozen stir fry veggies for a simple stir fry dinner, you can throw it in the crockpot with salsa for easy chicken tacos, chicken enchiladas, or burrito bowls! PS – you can also do the same with buffalo chicken, minus the enchiladas.
