So without further ado, let's jump into the top 21 foods for 2021 When I was planning today's video I went back and forth on whether or not I wanted to physically show you the food if I have it on hand Or if I just wanted to pop images up on the screen and I decided to go ahead and just pop images up on the screen All 21 of these foods I consume on a very very regular basis some of these foods I consume every single day. So these are my top 21 foods one of my favorite Healthier sweet treats that I discovered this year is from Charlie and the peanut butter Factory these are little peanut butter cups made from real nut butter. They have really good fun flavors They offer ones that have cookies included They offer full size and little mini size the mini size is about the size of a mini muffin And the full size is about the size of a regular baby Reese's peanut butter cup just a little bit thicker These are really good. You're able to get in some protein healthy fats and fiber with these and they're just a fan Tastic sweet treats you store these in your freezer and when you're ready to eat them You let them defrost for a few minutes and then you pop them out of the little plastic container and they're absolutely delicious I have tried the cookie ones the regular ones the minis the big I've tried them all and all of them are absolutely Incredible they offer to discount for the Charlie and the peanut butter factory cups I'll make sure that information is down in the description box as well But if you love peanut butter and you love sweet treats definitely grab these number two are Cleo bars I love the Cleo bars what they are is they are a Greek yogurt chocolate wrapped bar They kind of remind me of a mix between cheesecake and ice cream that texture on the middle in the middle is cheesecake They're wrapped in chocolate. They even have yogurt coated ones. You can find these at your local grocery store I've often been able to find these at Costco or Sam's Club as well or you can order these off of the Cleo bar website They also have minis and the minis of course are going to be less points than the full-size They're just a really good sweet treat They give you that little bit of protein and they also satisfy that sweet craving number three is one of my very very Favorite new food finds this year. This is something I eat every single day and these are the verb energy bars These little bars are packed with so much goodness. They have good ingredients They contain 65 milligrams of caffeine derived from green tea. So naturally derived caffeine They are fantastic pre-workout post-workout or in the afternoon when you just need a little afternoon to pick me up But these come in really handy. There are 90 calories three points and they have some amazing amazing flavors I love the red velvet cake the cinnamon roll actually has drizzled frosting on top of it The chocolate peanut butter tastes like a no-bake cookie. They're all just absolutely Incredible you can pick these up on a Fantastic deal when you're a new customer to verb. So I'll leave all of that information in the description box But like I said, this is something I love the taste the texture I love that little bit of caffeine in there and again. I eat these pretty much every day Next up are the heavenly hunks now. I just recently discovered these within the last few months I bought a big bag of the birthday cake ones at Costco. I Love these they are a thick chunk of cookie. Basically, that's what they are They are a square thick chunk of cookie. They have good ingredients They're not packed with all of the sugar that comes in a regular cookie, but they absolutely Satisfy your sweet tooth. They're pretty good size. So one definitely does the trick Really hard to overeat on these because they are so big and filling. I love the heavenly hunks The birthday cake one was delicious I've also tried the white chocolate cranberry, which is amazing and their chocolate chip all of the heavenly hunks So good you can find these that really most grocery stores health food stores and again I did find mine at Costco. Next are the organ clean Protein shakes. So these are pre-made protein shakes If you've been following my channel for a while about a year ago I stopped consuming a lot of sugar-free fat-free and I completely avoid carrageenan at all costs Carrageenan is essentially an inflammatory and it's added to things as an emulsifier. So it helps make things thicker So it's in a lot of protein shakes on the market fair life premiere Those I'll have carrageenan. You can also find it in weird things like cottage cheese sour cream and pretty much in all Canned whipped cream and even in some coffee creamer So I was on the hunt for an on-the-go protein shake that I could make protein coffee or Profi out of or that I could have on the go when I just need to get in my protein and I discovered the organ clean These are really really good. They are plant-based They have several flavors the vanilla is my absolute favorite and like the name says they are clean Ingredients no carrageenan and really no questionable ingredients at all I just picked these up off of the organ website. I'll link a discount down below for you But you can also find these at again your local grocery store or any health food store But if you want to avoid a lot of the questionable ingredients and a lot of protein shakes I highly recommend the organ clean another sweet treat that I discovered this year are the Unreal my favorite is the unreal little chocolate covered coconut bites. This is literally a mounds bar a healthier version of a mounds bar They're small so they're the perfect portion size But they're enough to satisfy that need for a candy bar or that need for something sweet I have found these time and time again at Costco Of course, they have these in most grocery stores and unreal actually makes a lot of other really good products They have a dupe for the M&M. They have some other types of little bites But my favorite are the chocolate covered coconut circling back to protein shakes protein powders I have a pretty lofty protein goal every day that I have to get in so I will gravitate towards protein shakes and protein powders a lot But again, I'm really conscious of the ingredients in my protein powders Specifically and I have found not only the cleanest protein powder I've ever found it is plant-based and it is a complete Protein a lot of protein powders on the market are not complete There's a big difference between a complete protein and an incomplete protein and live Well is a complete protein and she isn't your mama's plant-based protein powder. There is absolutely No chalkiness to this protein powder. It comes in several flavors including coconut chocolate vanilla And there's even an unflavored one if you want to add that to things like oatmeal Really anything that you don't want to added flavor to the unflavored one comes in really handy I use these for protein shakes. I add them into my oatmeal The live well protein is so good. And like I said, it is the cleanest Plant-based complete protein on the market I will make sure that I link a discount as well for live well for you My next food favorite is kind of an odd one and this is ketchup and this is the primal kitchen Ketchup like I said, I try to avoid a lot of sugar-free fat free But I also try to avoid a lot of sugar in general and I wanted a cleaner healthier No sugar added ketchup and I discovered the primal kitchen now It is a little bit more expensive than your traditional hunts or Heinz that you find at your local grocery store You can also find this at your local grocery store But this no sugar added ketchup to me tastes the most authentic like real ketchup Even my husband who is a ketchup connoisseur loves this primal kitchen one I buy this off the thrive market or I'll purchase it from my local health food store You can also pick this up off of the primal kitchen website I'll make sure all of that information is down below for you, but this ketchup is so Good, I'm telling you the ketchup connoisseur even likes this ketchup in OG a product that falls on my favorites list Every single year are bill bars now bill bar has really stepped up their game this last year They've created some new healthier options. They've created some better bars in my opinion overall I am obsessed with the built puffs. It is like a chocolate covered marshmallow. Think Russell Stoffer Easter eggs bunnies the marshmallow with the chocolate that is the vibe from the built puffs. They are so good They are one of my favorite desserts because you get in some protein with your dessert Built bar also came out with built balls, which are not better packed kind of granola like consistency little balls I love these and to my pleasant surprise. These have good Ingredients now the bill bar has okay ingredients, but the built balls have a really really good ingredient now The bill balls come and go in availability the built puffs come and go in availability But I'll link bill bar down below with a discount for you and free shipping when you see either one of these pop up On their website grab them you really can't go wrong with any built bars But these two products are my all-time favorites I also love a good sparkling water another thing that I try to avoid is natural flavors now Even though it says natural flavors natural flavors are actually artificial flavors There isn't a lot of difference between artificial and natural flavors So I do try to avoid those for the most part and they're found in ninety nine point nine percent of sparkling waters You really have two options on the market when it comes to sparkling water without natural flavors So these are flavored with real fruit or fruit extract number one is spindrift, which I actually really enjoy spindrift But this year I discovered aura Bora waters You guys this is the best sparkling water on earth. It is so So incredibly delicious. They have really fun flavors My favorite is peppermint watermelon, and I know that that sounds weird. I know what you're thinking, but it is incredibly Delicious, it is very peppermint forward. So it's refreshing so good This is a small business that actually launched in 2021. It has taken off like wild fire I buy mine again on the Thrive market as well as through the aura Bora website and you can find very Select flavors at Walmart not all of the flavors, but I have seen a few flavors at Walmart If you love sparkling water, you have to try these they are so good and I am obsessed with their nice clean ingredients I don't know about you, but I love a good bagel But bagels for breakfast or bagels in general just do not keep me full and satisfied I feel like it just goes right through me in an hour later. I'm hungry again This is until I discovered Western bagel now This is a frequent flier in my top 20 foods throughout the last couple of years because these bagels are that incredible They are very low calorie low point low carb and they cure that craving for bagels But they give you a punch of fiber and some protein and they are way less calories and points than traditional bagel You want to gravitate towards the alternative bagels now They do sell regular full calorie full fat regular bagels on their website But the alternative bagels and the alternative bagelettes which are small baby mini bagels are the way to go These are so low in point so low in calorie and I promise there is zero difference between these and a regular Processed full of junk bagel my favorites are the blueberry and I really like the cinnamon and the everything any of the little bagelettes The one-point bagels are super super delicious. I'll link Western bagel They are an online business down below for you with 10% off now if you follow my channel You know that another one of my daily Staples is my good culture cottage cheese. I'm a huge cottage cheese fan in general But I don't like runny cottage cheese, and I don't like the big chunked cottage cheese Good culture is incredible. Not only is it a thicker smaller curd cottage cheese It has absolutely phenomenal Ingredients like I mentioned you can even find carrageenan in cottage cheese not in good culture It is just real ingredients no added anything to it and the taste the texture just everything about the good culture is a Million out of ten they have a low fat a full fat and they have an extra full fat keto version You can even buy them an individual little cup I find these at most grocery stores target any croaker store is generally going to sell good culture And I find them at most health food stores as well If you love cottage cheese this cottage cheese game changer Now I'm a sweets lover if you haven't already been able to tell from a lot of my top foods I love sweets, but again I try to avoid a lot of sugar in my daily diet And so I instantly will gravitate towards smart sweets. I favorited these last year in my favorites But smart sweet has come out with some new flavors that have really stole the show I love their brand new cola gummies. They are so incredibly delicious But my all-time favorite smart sweets are the watermelon slices if you love the sour patch kids watermelon slices You're going to love the smart sweets. They are so so good It is candy literal candy and you can have the entire bag for about a hundred calories Three to four smart points and it only has three grams of sugar But you would never know that it only has three grams of sugar and better yet it contains zero sugar alcohols They are so good. My husband loves them. I love them whenever I'm craving candy gummy candy I just grab a bag of smart sweets out of my pantry again You can find these app stores like target croaker and even at Walmart or you can order them off of the smart sweets Website, which is generally a little bit lower price and there is a discount as well when you order off their website So it can save you a little bit of money. I love a good smart sweet. You see me eat these pretty regularly Now another food swap I focused on this year was transitioning over from just traditional white processed bread to a bread That's a little bit healthier a whole grain bread a sprouted bread one that actually has fiber in it And has a little bit of protein and my all-time favorite new find go-to bread is the trader Joe's Sourdough bread now the slices are a little bit smaller pretty comparable to maybe a Sarah Lee 45 calorie bread, but much denser and packed with really really good ingredients The best thing about this bread is it has some fiber, so it's going to help you reach your fiber goal It is 90 calories per slice. It's delicious. I mean truly truly a Huge step up when it comes to bread and a much more satisfying and filling bread than those really airy Pockety breads that are reduced calorie 90 calories three points a slice any day of the week I want to share another protein powder that is a staple for me and this is from the brand Devotion their protein powder is so good. It has fantastic texture No chalkiness the taste is out of this world now It doesn't have as clean of ingredients as the live well and it isn't a fully complete protein But it is a great option for protein shakes and it is in my opinion the best option for baking So if you want to add protein powder to something you're baking like maybe an oatmeal bake or a muffin or a bread Choose devotion because it bakes really really well. It doesn't separate It doesn't change the consistency and it adds the perfect flavor and sweetness to all baked goods Again, this is a protein powder. I will pop in a protein shake as well But it's a huge huge win for baking with protein and really helping you get in your protein Every single day even in the form of a baked good So I do have 10% off for devotion that will be in the description box Now here's another food I eat several times a week This is another one of my favorite finds this year and this is the Sam's Choice Chicken Apple sausage so Sam's Choice is a Walmart brand this sausage not only is it filling Really good sized Delicious it is full of nice clean ingredients so clean that this particular sausage is whole 30 approved The only what could be seen as negative of this sausage is that it's pretty high in sodium Which is standard for really any processed meat or sausage But if you want a delicious super low point good size protein packed sausage for a hundred calories three points Definitely definitely recommend the Sam's Choice This is really the only type of sausage that I purchased for breakfast or lunch. It is so good I mean so delicious I dice it up cook it with some eggs for breakfast pop it on the grill for dinner or have it on a bun for a Really delicious protein packed lunch highly recommend these sausages are hit and miss at some Walmart Sometimes they have them sometimes they don't when I stock up on them I just pop them in the freezer and they last a long time and I make sure that I always have one on hand because they're that good Next up is a water enhancer I drink a lot of water about a gallon a day and 99% of the time I just have fruit in my water lemons or limes to have that natural flavor But sometimes I want a flavored water Sometimes that will help cure hunger cravings or cure a sweet craving for me And I try to stay away from things like crystal light just because of aspartame and I recently discovered everly now Everly is a water enhancer that is much much more natural and the flavor of this is so Incredibly delicious. It is so good. They have several flavors. It comes in this cute little pouch You pop the lid off and just pour the right amount into whatever size water bottle you're drinking and it just adds really good flavor without a lot of the Artificial sweeteners that just aren't the healthiest for you I personally think it tastes better than crystal light and I feel a lot better having everly in my water If I'm going to have a water enhancer another sweet treat that I'm obsessed with I discovered at Target this year These are the true Fruit now what these are are frozen berries that are wrapped in one layer of white chocolate in one layer of regular chocolate They're so good. They are clean clean clean ingredients. They're absolutely Incredible they are a little bit pricey. I believe they're about five to six dollars a bag But it is well worth it because they're clean and they are delicious My favorites in order number one are the cherries the chocolate covered cherries are so good Number two are the blueberries you get a lot of them for the points in calorie because they're smaller and number three Are the chocolate covered raspberries this one just falls at the bottom because sometimes I find that the raspberry can be a little bit tart I love the true fruit. You can find them in the freezer section I find them mainly at Kroger stores in Target and they are with a lot of the other frozen desserts like the pies and the cakes That are in the freezer section if you haven't tried these try these another favorite for me and something that I eat Regularly throughout the week are the heat bars or the healthy eating all the time and go bars This is a one-woman small business and these bars not only do they taste absolutely Incredible they are 100% clean ingredients and the macros Chef's kiss on these bars. You cannot get a better macro profile than what is in these heat bar They are generally peanut butter base I will tell you right now my favorite is the chia bar because not only are you getting a nice clean bar You get the fiber and added protein from the chia seeds and this particular bar has about 15 grams of protein Where the other flavors have between eight and nine grams? My second favorite is the peanut butter with the cranberries so good You can not go wrong with the healthy eating all the time and go bars. They're clean. They're healthy They are only about 200 to 210 calories apiece. They actually can serve as a meal replacement. They're that filling and satisfying I love these bars. I love supporting a small business. She did offer me 10% off for you guys I'll put that down in the description box, but try these bars out. You will not be disappointed Oh, and this is another bar my husband actually likes as well And he doesn't really eat any proteiny healthy things in general and number 21 in my final Favorite for 2021 are the quest loaded taco chips now. I'll tell you right now I do not like the quest chips. There isn't a single quest chip that I like other than these loaded taco I am not kidding when I tell you these tastes like a taco You have the crunchy chip that serves is like the taco shell and then the seasoning is literally a taco It is so incredibly delicious. It's a regular tortilla chip It doesn't have a weird taste texture or consistency like I find with a lot of the other quest chips I love to crush these up and put these on a taco salad or just a salad in general Or if I'm craving a chip, this is my go-to because I have because I get in a good amount of protein They are lower in sugar and in my opinion, they taste just as good as a regular potato chip I buy all of my quest chips either off of the nutrition website or I buy these off of the Thrive market. I have seen these in some health food stores as well. If you haven't tried loaded taco Try loaded taco Now I want to have an honorable mention Because I talk about this so often on my channel and I've shared this again in so many of my top Foods for the past years and that is the fiber gourmet pasta This is a staple in my household. Not only is this pasta absolutely delicious The taste and texture is better than traditional pasta It's going to give you all of your fiber for the day It is only 100 calories per two ounces where traditional pasta is between 200 and 210 calories for two ounces. It's half the points. It's only three points For the two ounce serving versus five or six points and it packs seven grams of protein We love fiber gourmet pasta and they even make a macaroni and cheese that dare I say is equally as good as craft It is so incredibly delicious and it is packed with fiber and eating fiber is not Only important to help keep you full Satisfied regular, but also you should have 25 to 30 grams of fiber every single day And you can get that with one serving of fiber gourmet. I just love it so much I had to throw it in here as an honorable mention A lot of you love it So many of you have reached out and thanked me for turning you on to the fiber gourmet pasta This is a product that is sold online I buy it off of the net triton website because they have the best price and they have all of the shapes of pasta There's elbows, linguine, aka spaghetti, rotini and pennant. They have all of those shapes in stock on net triton So i'll link net triton down there for you guys as well in case you haven't tried fiber gourmet Definitely get the pasta.
