Chef Maria's Favorites: Nourishing Convenience Foods

Today I’m sharing some of my favorite convenience foods!

For those busy days where you’re short on time, these products are nutrient-dense and make for a great snack.

Epic Bars

I love these! And I feel they’re a pretty clean product. You can try one at Whole Foods, and if you like them, order a whole case on Amazon to stock up. My favorite flavor is the beef bacon.

Find the variety pack on Amazon.

PowerPak Electrolyte packets

These makes water yummy, they’re a great way to get extra electrolytes. We need more electrolytes when we’re decreasing our carbs. Açai is my favorite flavor. 

Find these on Amazon.

Frozen cauliflower rice

For those busy weeks when you don’t have time to cook up your own, you can grab frozen organic cauliflower rice from Whole Foods.

Find this product on Amazon.

Walnut butter packets

Most nut butter packets have palm oil. These nut butter packets from Artisana Organics don't. You can purchase them online here. There is also a delicious Pecan Butter version (not available online, but totally worth looking for in person!).

What are some of your favorite, quality convenience foods for those busy days when you’re committed to staying nourished?
