I really appreciate that you identify foods that you 'prefer' to eat rather than calling them better/worse or good/bad. For people on a tight budget, or people who have struggled with diet mentality/eating disorders it's a much nicer way to describe it then moralizing foods as good or bad.
When people say good or bad for you it's not villainizing you it's saying something about the producers of that food. Being poor is not evil it's a problem to be fixed and you're rather victimized and not villainized.
Here in Germany where Aldi originated we get more an more veggies and fruit not wrapped in plastic which is a great thing. More and more supermarkets get rid of plastic wrapping for fresh produce. The raisin bars look great!
OrangeTabbyCat Have you visited the plastic/container free grocery store in Berlin? I still haven’t stopped there in my visits to Germany but it looks awesome!
Last night made the raisin bars but used dried cranberries instead of raisins and added a mashed banana to reduce the amount of honey. It is astonishingly delicious: I packed a couple in my lunch box to take to work - as the result, spent the afternoon dreaming of going home and finishing the whole lot! It is soo good! Thank you!
“Do the best you can with what you have. Make the best effort you can make without putting pressure on it it to always be perfect.” - this is really so true and can be applied to so many aspects of life. I think I needed to hear that today :) thank you
Thank you so much for including the anecdote about not being perfect. I tend to beat myself up about spending extra money for better ingredients and wasting food, because I am low-income.
Would love to see a video based around figuring how to cook what you get in a CSA (community supported agriculture) food box, where you don't necessarily know what you're getting ahead of time and have to figure out how you're going to cook everything once it arrives. Also, as a Canadian from Montreal, I am super-jealous of your food prices in this video.
Those No Bake Raisin Bars have my name written all over them lol. Perfect to snack on the go and super low-cost healthy ingredients, perfect for any time of day or anywhere.
This video is so great! I love the message about doing the best one can, when it comes to buying healthy products. The recipes all looked so delicious and the filming and editing was amazing too!
$55 for 2 people to eat for 4 days. My max shopping budget is $140/month, for one person to function for 30 days. I love Aldi's as well. You can find some nice choices there without breaking the bank for those of us on fixed budgets.
THANK YOU! I don't have a Whole Foods or Trader Joe's near me (WF is over an hour away), but we do have an Aldi. This was great to see and especially to see the cost since I have been trying to convince my husband that it is better than Publix.
I’m lucky enough to live near 3 Aldis and it’s true, they aren’t all created equally! These recipes use so many ingredients I already buy on the regular, thank you for sharing 💕
I've been watching you for a couple years now. And I just wanna say, your attitude about healthy eating is a breath of fresh air. You make healthy eating enjoyable, doable, and most importantly SUSTAINABLE! I always learn something new when watching your content. Keep up the good work! You rock!
thank you so much! I really appreciate that :) My own healthy eating journey has been a struggle, I think as much as it has for anyone else, so my goal is to let people know that struggle is normal, and okay!! It isn't easy, but we can keep learning and trying :)
Yay, Alyssia! Very awesome-saucy. No Aldi's near me but I am going to Germany soon for 10 days where Aldi's are everywhere. I can cook yummy stuff in the AirBNB. You saved the day again!
(Sadly) the American Aldi has very little in common with the German one (the American Aldi is part of the southern Aldi branch (in Germany they are divided in South and North for each one of the Aldi brothers)).. In Germany there are no such things as pure peanut butter or avocado oil at Aldi. I grew up on Aldi North, the cheese selection is really varied and kinda nice (the sliced goat cheese and the soft cheeses are nice) and when we were feeling really lazy the refrigerated 2lb lasagna is alright :D
Oh! But the non-food section is very popular and the Aldi champagne was tested as pretty decent. Aldi stepped up their game in the last few years, so please do enjoy a stroll through one of the newer aldis :)
@@TheCupcake1029 haha - maybe. Looked a bit red tho. Who knows, some random sauce that's been stuck with that name i guess. Always find creme englaise hilarious in France too. Soooo you've ruined some custard & you're gonna blame it on us then? Haha.
I absolutely love how laid-back you are about eating healthy, being on a budget, and the combination of the two. So many of there cooking UA-camrs are so condescending an discouraging, making it sound like "if you can't make it homemade and organic and sodium free, gluten free, soy free, nut free, sugar free, meat free-- you can't ever be good enough! And if you're on a budget, likewise!" Sorry for my mini-rant. All this to say, I am so glad a found your channel ~3 years ago. You've yet to disappoint me!
Oh man, I hear you! When I see that kind of stuff on UA-cam it makes me cringe and feel like crap. I'm trying my best, and I think encouraging others to do the same is the best we can do! Plus, there's no way those UA-camrs actually eat like that all the time. They're showing you what they want you to see :)
I was just about to watch this video without subscribing but the way you present the stuff and most importantly answering directly to the questions, made me hit that subscribe button immediately. Great work !!!!
I just want to say thank you for the inspiring things you say! I get so overwhelmed with meal prepping and trying to shop healthy for my husband and I. I love how you say to do the best you can and know that if you cant it's ok. Thank you. I was getting so overwhelmed because food is so expensive and my husband has nafld and I just want to help him be healthy and heal his liver but it seems so impossible when you cant buy organic food. I've been on a search to try and buy more organic but right now it's just not in our budget. But I will continue to do the best I can ♡
I love Aldi, been going strong since 2012 when they first came to NYC and no one knew about them in the US lol. I’ve turned so many people on to Aldi over the years haha. Love the meal prep, your dollar goes so far there and with meal prep it’s even better!
RobinOrzo We’ve had them in the Midwest since the late 1990’s/early 2000’s, if not sooner. They got my family through some very tough times! I will forever miss their scuba diver/shark fruit snacks 😭
Love your positive reinforcements about being human, making mistakes, and not putting pressure on yourself. It's a good reminder to everyone out there who are trying their best to eat healthy. 😊
I recently moved to Kansas City and discovered Aldi, and it's now the main place that I shop at! Thank you so much for the video and ideas, and if you are able to, please make more Aldi meal ideas :-) thank you!!!
I loved this video! The message about doing the best you can with what you have was really helpful - it helps to remind us that in the end, food is just food and fuel, and you can have fun with it and don't need to spend tons of time stressing about it. I also thought it was super educational how you explained your thought process for choosing the BBQ sauce, improvising for your green bean salad and improvising with the sloppy joes. It really helps us learn how to cook realistically :)
I am a regular at Aldi and love that they are adding more options for those who are nutritionally minded! I would love to see more videos like this.

@@udhe4421 I always add a few sprays of olive oil to what I'm cooking- like chicken or potatoes. But, for things like marinated chicken, I think you could do it without any oil.
Omg yasssss!!!!! Aldi is my jam!!!! They have such great prices on staples & fruits/veg even organic! I’m able to do most of my grocery shopping there & save so much money!! Thank you so much!!!!!!
I'm a med student so the budget is tight. I go to aldis (almost exclusively) and you gave me so many great ideas. Definitely taking advantage of that avocado oil price next time I go shopping. Thanks!!!
I have been following for some time all the way from Port-au-Prince, Haiti. You have done great things for my eating AND my english lol. Every single time I visit family in the US, I put on around 20 pounds in the month I spend there and lose it around a month after I come back home. I just can't understand why because I keep cooking and eating traditional Haitian food (mostly veggie based and not calorie dense at all) and don't eat out much (ok, I went to Mc Donalds because I was curious of the taste 🙈)... I will now try to stay strickly organic this summer and see if that will prevent the weight gain.
@@leahpeterson11 Maybe not. But back home everything is organic because the farmers still work with old school methods. I don't have to think about it when buying groceries, it will be organic. This is the only difference between what I eat home and what I eat in the US. I don't buy organic in the US because it's more expensive. I think the pesticides and chemicals might be messing with my metabolism since my body is not used to them. This is why I wanna try organic and see if that helps.
Those bars look magical. Really with coconut milk?? I am making this tonight. I have all the ingredients already. My girls would love them for breakfast. ... Side note. My girls love those 3 ingredient energy bars...especially the apple pie and Pecan pie ones!!
New to your channel but I'd love to see more hot/cold lunch ideas. Husband works in construction and I have yet to find a plate-like thermos type container that will keep different foods warm. So if he could heat it up should he be in the office that day - awesome! Loved the example in this video! Never even considered that.
Whoa. Watching from Hawaii and crying over how low groceries are. My weekly grocery bill has never been less than 350 for our family of 4. Nevertheless, excellent video as per usual!
Oh, thanks for the sloppy joe inspiration! I haven't made those in forever, and I always just used the bad stuff in a can. This is much, much better. As for chicken in the Instant Pot - it is so tender that way! It's my new preferred method - even straight from frozen. Thanks for the video!
I bought 1 black friday. I used it twice both times when i released the pressure it shot up to my ceiling and shot back down and burnt me and my daughter how was in the kitchen next to me. Of course the burns werent bad but enough for me to take it back.
@@nailsbysandeemore7036 i think you are supposed to let it sit for a bit before you release the pressure. Surely the manual tells you how to avoid that
@@Pallepop909 yes i know that and did that. Im not stupid and do know how to read and do read instructions before using products especially those that can cause harm to me or my family. At the time i lived my ceiling wasnt very high in fact my 13 yr old daughter that was next to is 5 feet 9 in and she could touch the ceiling. I have since moved and have a higher ceiling. I bought another one and havent had a problem
Putting the sloppy Joe mix inside a pepper boat is such a great idea! I'm a huge fan of wrapping things in lettuce, I do it to everything I can, but never thought about putting stuff inside a little pepper boat. Will most definitely have to try it out! Thanks!
You and your channel are so amazing! I always love when you keep it seriously real when talking about not being perfect and how you don't always stick to one particular diet because then you'd miss other foods. You're such an amazing inspiration Alyssia! 💖
Or if you're from my area it's "the Aldi's" because it's a place with a name that sounds like a proper noun, like going to someone's house or establishment.
1) I'm definitely trying those peanut butter oat bars (substituting dried cranberries for the raisins)! I'm always looking for amazing grab and go healthy items for breakfast! 2) Maybe it's time to take my Instant Pot out of the box. That teriyaki chicken recipe looks so good!
This all looks so appealing. I'm definitely an Aldi convert, since I spend 95% of my time and money on veggies and fruit. I choose carefully and inspect things closely. They also have a guarantee at my Aldi's. If veg or fruit go bad quickly, return for your money back and a replacement. Great video!
Never done a full brek/lunch/din meal prep, but I'm using these videos to build up hype and courage for my first try. I'm just scared to commit to a full week of same food, especially given that if I don't eat that one day, I'll have wasted a lot of effort, but it definitely looks so convenient in the end.
I love your message about not perfect but striving for healthy choices! and yes, I'm into the instant pot vids. I got one for christmas and am trying it out a few times a week.
Do you want more videos like this? Where should I go next!?
Do you have a Publix where you live? If not, how about Target?
Do a Kroger one!!!!
I used to have a Publix when I lived in Florida-the BEST!!!! Unfortunately not in California :(
I'd like to see Dollar Tree or Dollar General.
She really needs to make another no cook or microwave meal she did lunch but now it’s time to do one’s for breakfast and dinner please.

Ella Ess we have them in many towns now. The closest one to me is in Bamberg. Just been there last week to buy oatmeal, nuts, lentils and beans. 🙂
that's so awesome!
In Holland everything at Aldi is wrapped in plastic. Everything. So I hardly go there. I like Lidl for fruit and veggies though. Also german haha
OrangeTabbyCat That’s so cool! Had no idea there were many of them. Is there one you would recommend?

Thank you so much for including the anecdote about not being perfect. I tend to beat myself up about spending extra money for better ingredients and wasting food, because I am low-income.
Cold lunch was really great. I go to school and microwaves are not accessible but now I get to enjoy something filling and delicious thank you.
awesome! thank you :)
I microwave it in the morning, it won’t be hot till lunch time but it’s not cold
I love the stress free style of picking what is available and not being so strict!

Woow can you see that yin and yang on 4:24?
This frame shows how much effort she is putting into her videos
Yes more instant pot stuff pls...got a small 3 qt for Christmas and I have used it twice...so pls do more for instant pot
okay great! coming soon :)
Just got the 3 qt myself, have made a number of items. But would love more. Really liked the tip of making the rice and chicken at the same time.
I just got the 3 qt too! Downsizing with just hubby and me. That would be great.
$55 for 2 people to eat for 4 days. My max shopping budget is $140/month, for one person to function

Publix is better lol but not always better on the pocket

I'm so glad to hear that, thanks so much for trying it out and letting me know! :)
What is English sauce?
worcestershire :)
Fancy European sauce cousin of A1 lol
More instant pot meals please and family meal prep
Thank you so much for doing this video!! I love Aldi's and shop there all the time. I need some meal prep tips.
awesome!! More coming :) Thanks!
Absolutely yes! More Instant Pot recipes! I'm always looking for more Instant Pot recipes, especially healthy ones.
okay great! thanks!
@6:20 - Had to do a double-take and, yep, the pack definitely says asperges instead of asparagus LOL
you can see that there is a translation to Spanish on everything on the wrap, asperges is in Spanish and on the left it's in English (asparagus)
Sarcasm machine. I think asparagus in Spanish is espárragos. Asperges must be French...
Love those glass containers with the compartments!!
All that food looks delicious!
English sauce? Never heard of it. 😊
Googled it and English sauce is Worcestershire sauce. Duh🤣🤣🤣
:)
That's what I thought!😂
Yep. I think she just didn't want to say the other sometimes harder to say name....lol 😊
Haha... Came here to see what that was! My plan was to sub with Worcestershire sauce. 😂😂
This meal looks absolutely delicious. I could eat this all of the time.
I would love to have more instant pot recipes. I use mine all of the time.
thank you so much :) I did 2 more instant pot videos!
Aldi SAVED me in college. My groceries were half the price of anywhere else.
YES! When I ventured over there for this video I couldn't believe my grocery bill was 1/3 of what it usually is!
Putting the sloppy Joe mix inside a pepper boat is such a great idea! I'm a huge fan of wrapping things in lettuce, I do it to everything I can, but never thought about putting stuff inside a little pepper boat. Will most definitely have to try it out! Thanks!
awesome! Thanks so much :)
I love aldi's but I'm vegetarian can you do an aldi vegetarian meal prep?
thanks for the request!
Pick Up Limes has vegan/vegetarian meal prep vids she's really good too
Yes please!!
Yes!
You and your channel are so amazing! I always love when you keep it seriously real when talking about not being perfect and how you don't always stick to one particular diet because then you'd miss other foods. You're such an amazing inspiration Alyssia! 💖
thank you so much! I appreciate you!
I love Aldi, but I wish they wouldn’t put so much plastic packaging on their produce. 😔
tiredapplestar that’s aldi for you just go to another store that has less packaged produce and get your other things from aldi that’s all
Hawa Mansaray Oh yes, that’s what I do. I have heard that they are fazing a lot if the plastic packaging out within the next few years too.
Or just recycle it 👐🏻
You can always ask if you can get it unwrapped. The worst they can say is no.
OMG! The pizza rolls video was the first video I ever saw of you. What a throwback!
Aldi: Al-Dee. Not All-Dee 😂
It’s European
Jess Ess ..Same..!!
Or if you're from my area it's "the Aldi's" because it's a place with a name that sounds like a proper noun, like going to someone's house or establishment.
Alot of great ideas!! Thank you. I'm a meal prepping fiend now!!
amazing!! thanks!
Mmmmmm you make the best food, I would marry you.
More instant pot recipes. Thank you!
Please keep doing more meal prep I need more inspiration starting my weight loss journey 😘thanks love your channel
thank you so much!
1) I'm definitely trying those peanut butter oat bars (substituting dried cranberries for the raisins)! I'm always looking for amazing grab and go healthy items for breakfast!
2) Maybe it's time to take my Instant Pot out of the box. That teriyaki chicken recipe looks so good!
yasss! I have more instant pot recipes coming!
I like your down to earth approach! thank you!
thank you so much :)
I love the idea of the cool lunch . Potato salad, asparagus salad and BBQ!
Yes more instant pot recipes please
coming soon!
I was at the original aldis i, Germany 1 year ago today. Nothing like USA aldis.
oh neat!
This all looks so appealing. I'm definitely an Aldi convert, since I spend 95% of my time and money on veggies and fruit. I choose carefully and inspect things closely. They also have a guarantee at my Aldi's. If veg or fruit go bad quickly, return for your money back and a replacement. Great video!
wow that's awesome! I didn't know that!
This is the best meal prep video I have ever seen
thank you :)
No Aldi's in Canada either but great advice on using what you have. It's all good.
thank you!!
I love and enjoyed this video so much and these meals have the best photographer I enjoy the details too as much as the food 🥘
Yay! Thank you!
This was great. I would love more instant pot meals. They are especially helpful as things eventually start to warm up weather wise.
thank you! more coming!
Never done a full brek/lunch/din meal prep, but I'm using these videos to build up hype and courage for my first try. I'm just scared to commit to a full week of same food, especially given that if I don't eat that one day, I'll have wasted a lot of effort, but it definitely looks so convenient in the end.
thank you :)
I would love to see meal prep for a family of 6! You have some wonderful tips and great receipts, so glad I found you.
thank you so much :) I'll keep that in mind!
I love your message about not perfect but striving for healthy choices! and yes, I'm into the instant pot vids. I got one for christmas and am trying it out a few times a week.
thank you so much! I'm working on instant pot stuff :)
