Healthy stuff to buy at COSTCO? I got you covered!

Do you shop at Costco? I DO!!! I love COSTCO!! I've had lots of friends ask me WHAT TO BUY there that is HEALTHY!? Costco is great at offering healthy and even organic stuff. But they also have a lot of deceiving items! I've compiled a list of healthy things you can get at Costco, so here you go!:

*Quinoa (white or red/mix)
*Brown rice
*Coconut Flour
*Dave’s killer bread or whole wheat bread
*Granola (any low sugar, high fiber cereal)
*Chia seeds
*Whole grain pancake mix, I've heard its great!
*Raw nuts (almonds, pine nuts, walnuts)
*Cheese (mozzarella is less fattening than cheddar)
*Natural or Organic Peanut butter
*Natural Almond butter
*Organic Coconut oil
*Olive Oil (I get light and extra virgin)
*Flax meal
*Himalayan pink salt
*Organic eggs
*Skim milk
*Greek yogurt
*Lean meat (hamburger (93% lean, lean steak (sirloin or flank NOT Tbone), chicken (boneless skinless, not roasted), salmon, seafood, etc)
*Turkey burgers
*Protein Bars (Pure Protein are good and low in sugar, high in protein)
*Whey Protein (whey isolate)
*Edemame (frozen)
*Spinach (any produce if you’ll eat it before it goes bad)
*Berries (fresh or frozen)
*Dried figs
*Pure Maple syrup
Of course there are other things I get at Costco like baby wipes, toilet paper, and laundry stuff...but this post is about healthy food!:))

Things to stay away from at Costco:
Processed foods, breaded foods, drinks other than water or milk, samples (lol), Naked juice (all the vitamins and fiber are processed out), white breads, bagels (they don't have whole wheat!), obviously the ice cream isle, already prepared foods like egg rolls etc, and soups (way to creamy and fattening) . Also stay away from the temptation to buy lunch when you’re done. Unfortunately none of those foods are healthy (even the smoothie and the salad! Very deceiving)

I hope this helped! Is there anything I forgot? What do you buy at Costco?
