Healthy and Gluten-Free Grocery Haul at LIDL
Happy Sunday everyone! One of the best parts of the week for me is food shopping day. I enjoy planning and preparing meals, as well as exploring different shops to find new and exciting items. It’s a great way to get ready for the upcoming week and discover new go-to finds for my kitchen.
I love the process of searching for new ingredients and products to incorporate into my meals. It’s always fun to try out new things and see how they can enhance my cooking. Food shopping is not just a chore for me, but a way to inspire creativity in the kitchen and keep things interesting on a weekly basis.
Feast on English Flavors with a Gluten-Free Twist: A LIDL Weekly Food Adventure for Healthy Eating
hi everyone welcome back to my channel if you’re new here I’m Maisy I am 26 and I’m currently 36 weeks pregnant and I’m hoping to start to film some more foodie lifestyle SL Fitness content on here and today is one of the most exciting days of my week which sounds really.
Sad I love absolutely love doing a weekly food shop and it’s something I look forward to I love planning it I love cooking I love going to new food shops to test things out and this week I thought I would actually go to a completely different shop my go-to is sains spres because I’m glutenfree and I feel like they have quite a good range.
Of gluten-free products there but I’m going to try the little near us I never food Shob in little but I want to see what the price difference is I want to see what I can get my hands on because you know when you go to a new store and there’s loads of bits that you would never normally Buy in the shop that you use as your general food shop so I’m.
Really really excited I don’t know if anyone else gets this excited about food shopping but I love it it I’ve left it quite late on a Friday so it’s 10 7 I’m hoping the rush of people coming back from work has gone and it’ll be a little bit quieter in there so I’ll take you around the shop with me if it’s not crazy busy if it’s crazy busy I get too.
Shy and I don’t want to film anything and then I’ll show you what I pick up uh along with just telling you guys what my recipes are for the week so for me nutrition is really really important what me and Sam are putting in our bodies is massive and I think it massively impacts your mental health your well-being your physical physical.
Health and also for me I’m growing a baby so I just want to make sure I’m getting really good nutrients in and yeah we’re feeling good so I’m going to head out to little now I’m really excited and um I’ll go around the shop with you guys.
a guys see that there that is not my belly button that is like a foot or a leg don’t know if I can get them to move there’s my belly.
Button there’s a foot or a leg I’m back from Little was actually really late it was like 9:00 I haven’t even had dinner or anything yet um I’ve done a huge food shop and I have bought quite a lot of things actually price-wise I would say it’s not massively different from the other stores that I’ve been to I spent.
About £95 today and that’s on a food shop that’s probably going to last last us till next Thursday so that’s 6 days but that is also including some cleaning products as well however there is a few bits that I wasn’t able to get a nle which is one of the reasons I don’t normally shop there it was also absolutely boiling I keep getting really.
Hot I don’t know it’s probably just because I’ve got so much more blood in my body and I was stood in the queue and I was like oh no I am actually going to faint and this has happened a few times now I was like I going have to sit on the floor or something but luckily it passed and I was okay but I’ve organized things into.
Somewhat some sort of sections and I’ll show you what I’ve bought and what I’m going to make for the week and some really cool bits that I picked up as well because you know like little have themed weeks I think last week was an Italian week because all the Italian ice cream had gone which I was kind of sad about and then they’ve got a lot of.
Japanesey style things in at the moment so I picked up a few bits from that section as well but I’ll show you everything that I got now also this baby is moving so much let’s start with a fun section so this is like condiments chocolates cleaning products I picked up some dishwashed capsules some rin a and.
Toilet wipes bin bags nothing that interesting there I also picked up some of these I absolutely love this brand but don’t actually know how to say the name so I picked up two bars of that a raspberry one cuz it was 72% Cocoa so I thought that was good because a little bit oh they’re also single individual packets which is quite.
Nice and then a creamy milky one as a little treat and I’ve also picked up some dark chocolate chips cuz I often bake something in the week so I Pi them up possibly for some cookies or something picked up some Canadian maple syrup this was actually a lot cheaper than it is in any of the other shops so normally I pay about $4.99 for one of.
These and I I think it was $2.99 which is really really good actually so I picked that up as I use that as a natural sweetener in a lot of my cooking and who doesn’t like maple syrup anyway I’ve also picked up tortilla chips I always pick pick up tortillas because they are gluten-free cuz they’re normally made with corn so I’ve got two.
Different flavors and one night I was also going to do nachos so I was going to do beef mints with beans and top them well top put put the beef mins on to the nachos and top them with cheese and jalapenos which is why I’ve picked them up as well um I also down like the really funky aisle where they have like random.
Bits and Bobs they had some matcha and I Know M matcha you’re supposed to get like expensive match up and it can be really hit and miss and it was only $2.99 so I’m going to try it and see how it is and if it’s bad it’s bad it doesn’t really matter does it also picked up some honey because we go through honey like mad we use honey with.
So many different things dressings baking cereal yogurts all of that and ground almonds as they’re an amazing flower alternative if you are gluten-free I use ground almonds for quite a lot of things I also picked up some almond butter my personal favorite favorite is actually cashew butter or hazelnut.
Butter but this is so cheap if you try get almond butter or cashew butter in any other store like Sainsbury’s Morrison they’re all like3 plus and they’re about 150 in little so I picked up an almond one and I also had the cashew one which I’ve been using this week which is really really good I.
Prefer cashew but they didn’t have any left so we’ve got almond butter as well this week now I have like a whole r of like Whole Foods and fridge Foods fruit and veggies Meats all of that I like to have loads of fresh things in the house um so we’ve got loads of nice good Easter snack on.
So I’ll talk you through some bits that I’ve picked up um I picked up a load of fruit because fruit in there is really reasonably priced but I have heard that it doesn’t last that long so we’ll see how we go this week so I’ve picked up two lots of grapes black seedless grapes and red seedless grapes we use like we get.
Through grapes like crazy and I also picked up some Granny Smiths which Sam’s favorite the only thing with little is everything is very much packed in plastic which is quite annoying whereas in Zain B’s A lot of it isn’t in plastic I also picked up some blackberries because these were really well priced blackberries and berries in any of a.
Shop are normally quite highly like expensive and some neck treams because they are this is my favorite fruit of all time so I had to pick up some night dreams I always use bananas so bananas are always on the list picked up two avocados which feel really good for some healthy fats and cucumbers we use.
Cucumbers all of the time and I’ve also picked up these mini cucumbers that can go in lunch boxes I’ve got some fresh parley because I was going to also make some homemade chicken KVs but they don’t do like a gluten-free range in little so I’m going to have to find like a gluten-free RW to do the B on so we’ve got parley for.
That and then I’ve got a big bag of carrots so I’m not sure if I’m going to use all of these but I am going to start well I have already started prepping some meals for postpartum I just wanted some warming meals in the freezer for when I give birth so I can Aid myself with recovery um we’ve got a pulled chicken chili in there with black beans.
And I was also going to make a carrot soup because that’s really easy to digest but I was going to do the base as a bone broth so we’ve got a high protein Source in there as well but I need to stop somewhere else to get bone broth cuz I couldn’t find that in little I think M&S do a relatively cheap but good bone broth so I’m going to do that as.
The base and that’s why I’ve picked up a bag of carrots um they’re also really good for snacking on like Sam often has raw veggies more so than me because my digestion isn’t great got a big bag of potatoes so I often will just make homemade chips or mashed potatoes so that’s why I’ve picked those up this week rice cakes are my go-to at the.
Moment I love this brand I love that they often have them in little as well um but one of my favorite snacks is a rice cake with avocado balsamic vinegar and seeds that’s one of my all-time favorite snacks so I picked up some of those cuz that’s really easy sweet chili sauce I didn’t actually check whether this had wheat.
In so sweet chili sauce because I have sweet chili I have been told as well that the olives from Little are amazing so we’ve got this these stuffed olives some have got peppers in and some have got garlic in so quite looking forward to trying those that kind of brings us on to meats and cheeses so I’ve picked up a huge box of eggs because eggs are.
Really easy easy lunch they’re a really easy dinner they’re great for baking anything and they’re a really quick protein source and I also picked up some of the two chicks egg whites which they do in little which are so handy they’re really good if you’re trying to bulk out a meal if you don’t want to have a really high fat intake from your.
Eggs if you have an omelette and you don’t want to use four whole eggs which are higher in fat you can use two eggs and then a coule of egg whites and it kind of buls that out so I’ve been really loving them at the moment also picked up a broet cheese because we always use cheese I’ve picked up some halumi I might need to grab another one.
But I wasn’t sure if I had one in the fridge because I think I’m going to do a Lumi and spinach Curry this week we’ve got some cod because I’m going to do codfish codfish Cod chips and peas one night cuz that’s just simple and easy really quick they also had this really nice I don’t actually like cold meats like this but they had this really nice.
R range of different cold meats in there so I’ve picked these ham slices up for Sam which I thought that he would really like and these churrito cheese rolls which I know that he definitely likes so there for him during this week I’m also going to do a graze board one night so they can go on that I was also really impressed that.
They stock um grass-fed beef so I picked up some of this and they had a big old section actually with meats that were grass rfed so that’s really really nice and really interesting picked up some chicken breast because I think I’m going to do some chicken skewers for the week for.
Lunches but I didn’t find any skewers in there so I’m going to have to go out tomorrow and get some skewers but we’ve got some chicken breast there and then this is actually really small didn’t realize how small that chicken breast was and then I was going to make some chicken CS with that I’m also going to do a sausage bake.
Really excited that they do chicken sausages in little these are the salt and pepper ones and I can’t wait to oh I didn’t even check if they’ve got gluten in please don’t what’s Grand flow I’m going to have to search that oh my gosh please no no no no no okay just searched it and it’s.
Gluten-free so that’s fantastic so I think I’m gonna use some of the meat from I don’t actually know if they’ve got a case on actually I was going to use some of this chopped up really fine in some pasta which I’m going to do tonight really quickly and then I’m also going to do a sausage bake this week which is just.
Simple and easy and I’ve picked up some peas cuz we always use peas been really wanting pineapple this week but I’m just loving frozen fruit it’s so convenient and it’s So Fresh So I’ve picked up some frozen pineapple chunks and some frozen mango chunks because Frozen mango if you let it semi defrost is like a little mini.
Ice cream in your mouth it’s amazing and I also picked these up which I also didn’t check whether they have weit in rice flour okay that’s fantastic so these little mchis I’ve picked up raspberry and lyi which I’m so excited about I love lyi really been craving fruit quite a lot of this pregnancy so.
Very excited about trying those I’m going to actually start putting this shopping away this is probably just a quick little Vlog but I hope that has been enjoyable I love seeing what people buy especially if they’re in a different country like if there’s anyone from a different country watching this you might find it interesting so yeah I hope.
That you’ve liked my little food haul there is a few bits that I’m missing which I would have liked to have collected things like um almond milk so I’m really fussy about about they don’t have loads of ingredients in and a few condiments I couldn’t get but apart from that I got nearly everything which I’m pretty happy with but I hope that you’ve.
Liked this video if you have give it a like leave any comments and I will see you next week for the next Vlog um so long as I haven’t even birth
