My Pantry Essentials
Nutrition | March 21, 2017
Since I have mentioned in my latest Coffee Talk that I have a list of my own pantry essentials which serves me as a checklist for my weekly grocery shopping, you guys have asked me to share all the items on the list. I do a lot of sugar free, gluten free baking, so I go through a lot of Almond Flour and Swerve. This is why I like to save money and buy most of the nonperishable food for my pantry at Thrive.
Pantry essentials:
- Almond flour – at least 4 cups
- Coconut flour – at least 4 cups
- Baking soda
- Baking powder
- Xanthan gum
- Swerve sweetener (powdered & granulated at least 2 bags)
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Coconut oil
- Olive oil
- apple cider vinegar
- balsamic vinegar
- sherry vinegar
- champagne vinegar
- Algae or Avocado oil
- Oats
- Wheat germ
- Honey Nuts & seeds – almonds, walnuts, cashews, pecans, pistachios, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds
- Raisins
- Dried cranberries
- Maca powder
- Almond butter
- Peanut butter
- Coconut manna
- Unsweetened shredded coconut
- Unsweetened flaked coconut
- Coconut milk (at least 1 can) – once opened keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days
- Spices (cinnamon, cumin, chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, ginger, mixed seasoning, etc. the more variety the better)
- Salt & Pepper
- Better than bouillon (chicken base, beef base, vegetable base) – once opened, keep them in the fridge
- Legumes at leas one can of each – black beans, white kidney beans, chickpeas
- Wilde rice
- Brown rice
- Coffee
- Tea
Freezer essentials:
- Frozen bag of green peas and corn
- Frozen strawberries, blueberries or mixed berries
- Frozen bananas
- Frozen broccoli
- Frozen brussels sprouts
- Ezekiel bread sliced – this way you’ll have always a fresh toast and no waste of leftover bread
Fridge essentials:
- Eggs
- Dijon mustard
- Mayo (Avocado Mayo)
- Grass-fed butter (use Ghee if you’re lactose intolerant)
- Unsweetened Almond Milk
- Goat kefir (much healthier than greek yogurt and generally well tolerated by people with lactose intolerance)
- Fresh Fruit (at least one kind): apples, oranges,
- Lemons (I have a tree)
- Onion & garlic
Organic Herb Garden: I strongly suggest you to start your own organic garden for the most common herbs. It will save you a lot of money in the long run. Here are the herbs I use the most often: Basil, Cilantro, Parsley, Rosemary, Mint, Oregano, Chives, Fennel.

I like the herb garden suggestion! Just last week I ran out of the basil I had harvested from my garden and dried in the fall. This spring I am increasing the size of my herb garden!
Years ago I did not have a yard, so I grew herbs indoors.
