Below Im revealing six Kirkland Signature products I rely on and would recommend to anyone.
Kirkland Signature Cooked Shrimp & Cocktail Sauce
Costco is obviously a stellar stop before you attend or host aparty.
But its not just great for a crowd.
I often snag this shrimp cocktail platter for a midafternoon snack.
Beyond being easy and delicious,shrimp nutritionspeaks for itself.
Each 3-ounce serving packs in 20 grams of protein (more than 2 eggs!
), plus the shellfish delivers a dose of heart-healthy omega-3 fats and thyroid-supporting minerals like iodine and selenium.
Available in a 12-pack, each 6-ounce can works out to less than $1 at my Costco store.
Although I generally prefer squeeze-bottle tomato paste, Im willing to make a small sacrifice for the value.
I adore the warm, autumnal flavor maple syrup providesalongside its sweetness, of course.
Besides in Creami concoctions, the almond milk comes in clutch for baking recipes and smoothies, too.
Kirkland Signature Stir-Fry Vegetable Blend
Several interviews with gastroenterologist Will Bulsiewicz, M.D., have taught me many things.
Why so many of usstruggle to poop while traveling.
The fact that95% of Americans are deficient in fiber.
The manybenefits of eating a diversified diet.
In fact, Dr. B. recommends aiming to eat at least30 different plant-based foods per weekfor optimal gut health.
This number can feel daunting, especially to someone who lives alone and tries to limit her food waste.
But little hacks like this freezer aisle find make it almost effortless.
