The Costco Essentials of a Dietitian Mom: 12 Items for Picky Eaters

As a registered dietitian and mom of a picky toddler, I thrive on finding delicious yet nutritious food options at Costco. Over my 13 years of shopping there, I've discovered several staples that not only cater to my family’s tastes but also help me pack good nutrition into our daily meals. One of my favorites, the Veggies Made Great muffins, mixes sneaky vegetables into a delightful treat that even my two-year-old loves, making breakfast a breeze. I also stock up on Oats Overnight high-protein shakes—each providing 20 grams of protein—perfect for a nutritious start to the day. For quick dinners, premade meals from Kevin's Natural Foods have been lifesavers, requiring only minimal prep for a delicious, wholesome meal. I pair these with Kirkland Signature sliced peaches and Harvest Snaps for easy, healthy snacks that appeal to even the pickiest eaters. With healthy choices like That's It fruit bars and Kodiak Power Cakes flapjack mix in my cart, I find that grocery shopping at Costco delivers both convenience and quality. This way, I ensure my family enjoys meals that are balanced without compromising flavor. As a busy mom, these selections allow me to provide tasty nutrition with minimal fuss.
