Top 10 Healthy Foods at Dollar Tree! | Weight Loss | Low Carb | Budget Haul

hey guys welcome back to my channel so I just pulled up to Dollar Tree we're gonna walk in there and I'm gonna show you the top 10 low carb items to buy at Dollar Tree let's go all right guys so one of the first things I'm bumping into is bacon I actually didn't know that Dollar Tree even carried bacon so it is just a few slices but it's only a dollar 25 so not bad at all if you are like a sausage person then they have the breakfast sausages I do see that they do have like a lot of meats um kind of like deli meat so they have these that are already pre-cooked over here they have like actual deli meats like for sandwiches and stuff like that it looks like everything's just kind of like teeny tiny but again at a dollar 25 it's like what what do we really expect here you know um then we have like the hot dogs baloney this is all of course processed Meats um but I just want to let you know that these are options that they have here of course you can go and buy like pasture raised and all of that but just knowing that these are options here because hey not all of us can afford to go and you know by pasture race anything so they do have the options that are low carb so another thing that they carry here are cheeses so we have the pepper jack cheese some mild cheddar they even have a shredded blend like a Mexican blend cheese which I think just really awesome that they actually have like budget friendly cheeses because guys like grocery prices right now are ridiculous so like yeah I'm just like happy that places like Dollar Tree carry Essentials because cheese milks eggs like those are all Essentials that you know it's great to be able to still get budget friendly okay so moving on to the frozen veggies so yeah traditional like little green beans you have the peppers these are great for like omelets if you're making fajitas things like that like guys you throw this in there cook your chicken toss it up with some seasonings you have a quick meal you know if you're not low carb serving with a regular rice and if you are low carb server with the cauli rice and you have dinner but look at this this was surprised me they have asparagus that's great do this with like a little chicken breast you know throw these in the air fryer I feel like options like that are just so awesome that they have because a lot of times like you're not thinking about going to Whole Foods to get these things like if you're here shopping at Dollar Tree you know that you can pick this up we'll move on to the meats because they actually carry meats here and then you can throw together like a meal let me know actually let me know if you guys want to see me actually come shop for like a meal under let's say ten dollars and go back home and cook it because that would be like a good challenge you know but then we have like the season blend just for you know just different mixture of veggies but um one thing that they do carry is obviously frozen veggies all right so now moving on to the meats guys I was super super surprised to even see this but they actually have salmon here like that is amazing and these are three I think it's like three fillets so 10 ounces of salmon how much are these I think maybe five dollars and then they also have shrimpies like if you want to make a stir fry or if you want to make like a shrimp Alfredo you know that's of course like low carb I feel like these are all just such great options to have here they have some ground beef you can make either your own burgers or like I know a lot of Mexican dishes that I make with ground beef at home pork chops that are actually boneless like they carry legit meats here that's so awesome and then I'm seeing over here let's see oh some bone-in poor cam steaks what in the three dollars for this boneless beef ribeye steak guys see that's amazing that's amazing you can like literally come here I need to I need to do that like we need to come shop for a meal give me some ideas Down Below on like what we should create and I'll come in grab it all head back to the house and show you just like a legit healthy low carb meal from here love it okay so moving on to some condiments I was surprised to find some apple cider vinegar they have the raw apple cider vinegar with the mother which you always want to make sure that it does have the mother and then just regular apple cider vinegar which I was surprised to find here because you know it's pretty pricey if you go to you know any Whole Foods or any store that does carry um more like nutritional or specialty ingredients like it's you know you're gonna pay over five six dollars for it so then here obviously you have just your traditional like mustard they do have ketchups but they don't have like the unsweetened ketchup so ketchup is one of those condiments that you do want to look out for because it has about five grams of sugar per teaspoon like it's crazy so you do want to get the unsweetened version now Texas Pete this one is so good guys this hot sauce is delicious all of these hot sauces here are zero sugar have very clean ingredients so anyway they do have like a whole section here that does have your spices they do have dressings but of course those are going to be made with soybean and canola oil which I would personally just completely stay away from I was actually surprised to see that they have like a little coffee section I was like okay no Dollar Tree get it they do have the Splenda that is no sugar the thing about Splenda is that it is sweetened with sucralose so if you are someone that doesn't mind sucralose then obviously they do have an option for you I tend to use either like allylose or Stevia something along those lines but hey the fact that they have something available is actually pretty cool now here they do have milk so I was like wait what you have like whole milk obviously it's shelf stable so they have whole milk two percent um what interests me a little more is down here which is both almond and oat these are both plant-based milks and they are both unsweetened so I thought that was pretty awesome that they carry an unsweetened version of the oat milk and the almond milk so now oils you already know I always tell you if there's like at least one thing that you get from the videos it's like if there's one change that you are going to make in your pantry I would definitely suggest it in your oils because I grew up eating like vegetable oil canola oil which are Super inflammatory just really really wreak havoc in your gut so I would never expect to find any type of oil that I would actually use from here the only thing that I would use from here is this one here which is coconut oil now this one here is refined the thing about refined yes it's a little bit more processed but it's not going to give you the coconut taste so some of you are like I hate coconut oil because it tastes like coconut so when it's refined it actually doesn't have that strong like coconut flavor and then there's also some coconut oil um spray so these are the two that I would go with now guys I'm telling you this aisle has been like thumbs up all the way first of all they have some pink Himalayan salt so this is actually a really good switch that's really easy when you are just slowly trying to start making changes in your pantry pink Himalayan salt is a lot better than just like the table the iodized table salt so if you are using just regular white processed iodized salt that comes in like that little blue the little blue can with a girl with the umbrella this is just a good switch to make it's easy tastes delicious and um and yeah it's just better for your body then you have all of these here that I feel like it's awesome that Dollar Tree does carry so many spices because of course spices is where all the flavors come when we're cooking they have everything from like cilantro chili powder cayenne pepper you know cinnamon literally like so many different look at this it's like literally like a whole section of spices spices here at Dollar Tree are a thumbs up all right guys so I'm coming down this aisle and I'm like I keep getting surprised after surprise here at Dollar Tree so um I know some people have a thing about like canned goods but guys I grew up eating these I still eat canned canned goods even like tuna and stuff like that so they do have green beans they do have carrots they have a lot of other things here as well that are more low carb versus um you know they have a little bit of sugar in them but they're still great in my personal opinion I love beans I don't know about you it might be a weird thing but like I love beets in my salads I like to eat them just as is yeah don't judge me on that but they also have diced tomatoes and even just tomato sauce so they do have tomato sauces that are great for so many different recipes I just didn't know that they had like a full-blown food section here so yeah I'm just really happy to see this let's continue down the aisle to see what else they have so moving on to all their little like pouches so these pouches literally saved my life when I first started my weight loss Journey because remember I was only 18 years old I was not like a great cook my mom always cooked food for me so like so I wasn't the one cooking and once I got on you know once I started my weight loss journey I had to figure out how to cook healthy food because everybody else was still eating their same you know rice and beans and meats and tortillas but um these are all great look at lemon pepper ranch you can make these throw a little mayo in there make wraps make um top your salad like so you get that protein they have all of the tuna and then they even have chicken so they have the white chicken you can see here I think these already have maybe some mayo mixed into it so you might want to stay away from that if you you know if you want to stick to like really clean ingredients because if I made this at home I would mix in like a avocado Mayo versus a Mayo that has like you know that's made with soybean oil and stuff like that but of course they have all of their Tunas their white chicken if you want to make like a little chicken salad so this is just a really great convenient option here which is awesome because it's high in protein too Alright guys so lastly we are here at the drink aisle now I did see that they have juices they have cranberry and pomegranate blueberry acai which has two net carbs one gram of sugar only five calories per cup now you already know they are not going to have clean ingredients it is sweetened with sucralose so if you are someone that doesn't care about sucralose then obviously they do have cranberry juice and pomegranate juice available to you now I'm gonna see if they have something that I would actually drink and buy to take home look at this so this is super interesting they actually have kombucha so they have a watermelon and a strawberry lemonade kombucha 25 calories everything looks super clean it's organic non-GMO gluten-free vegan non-alcoholic vitamin C what is it sweetened with though so let's just see it is sweetened with erythritol and some Stevia a stevia extract I'm actually going to take these because it just sounds interesting it looks really pretty and so they're getting me with the packaging but um these are available here I've never tried these I've heard really good things about it it's just water infused with you know um fruit so there's like pineapple then we have our Rockstar so energy drinks that are sugar-free you know I'm not one to recommend energy drinks unless I have a few that I personally like I've shared them with you on Instagram so we also have the strawberry margarita and the Mojito that is sugar-free so in case you want to make a little you know a little cocktail there you go you can have a sugar-free cocktail now all of these are flavor little pouches that you can put inside of your water bottle they are all pretty much sugar free personally I just try to stay away from things like this I like using my Ultima that has just as much flavor if not more because sometimes these are a little artificial tasting the Ultima is not so I love that but this one here I actually really like it's just true lemon so it's not like you know fruity like these over here but this is just great to have on hand like if you want to make a little lemonade or when you run out of lemon the little packets actually come in clutch so I'm going to take one of these little guys this is my guilty pleasure you guys know I try not to drink it I try I try to stay away guys but I have to say that Coke Zero it is definitely one of my it's a guilty pleasure I'm telling you I don't like it I try to stay away from it I try to drink Sparkling Waters but I do love it so other than those flavored drinks they obviously do have a huge section here of water they even have alkaline water let me know what you you know your opinion on alkaline water I hear so much about it I'm not one that has gotten into Waters yet but I heard that it is um life-changing so if you've heard something like that or you have an opinion on it let me know in the comments below like what your your true thoughts are on on alkaline water all right guys so those
