wonder what Nutritionist shopping at the grocery storeWe were also curious.
So we asked two registered dietitians — Maya Feller and Dr. Katelyn Petrucci — to share the healthy foods that are always on their grocery lists.
1. Eggs
“If I could eat one food every day for the rest of my life, it would be eggs. Hard-boiled, fried, roasted, baked, wrapped in an omelette, or baked in frittataEggs can’t be beat,” says Dr. Kellyanne. “I love these little nutrition bombs because they are one of the world’s best and least expensive sources of high-quality protein.”
“The myth that eating eggs increases your cholesterol is finally busted,” says Dr. Kellyanne.
“As it turns out, eggs don’t significantly affect your cholesterol. And while eggs do change your cholesterol, studies indicate they do it in a good way. “I eat eggs every day and I never get tired of them,” she says.
Maya likes duck eggs when she can get them at the store.
“Duck eggs are much larger than normal eggs,” she says. “They’re high in protein, so there’s about 9 grams of protein per duck egg, which is amazing.”

2. Lemon
Dr. Kellyanne says lemon is “the perfect choice to help flush out some of the bad stuff from your body that you don’t want around.”
“And they contain vitamin C to boost your immune system. Adding freshly squeezed lemon to warm water first thing in the morning will do wonders for you! She says. “Whenever I wake up feeling bloated or slightly bloated, I turn to lemon water. Additionally, it is necessary for the synthesis and maintenance of vitamin C. collagenIt helps to produce collagen, as it has an active role in collagen synthesis.
3. Jicama
ever heard jicamaIt’s a root vegetable that Dr. Kellyanne calls an “energy carb” and says, “It’s low in calories and high in fiber and water, making it a weight-loss power food.”
“One cup of jicama has more than 6 grams of fiber. And the type of fiber it contains is called inulin, which is a prebiotic fiber that benefits gut health. Inulin is also a soluble fiber which means it turns into a gel in the intestines. It may slow down the pace of stomach emptying, helping to keep you full longer, which in turn may reduce feelings of cravings and hunger. Plus, fiber is great for keeping blood sugar levels stable.
He likes to chop jicama like an apple and mix it in Heart-Healthy Guacamole,
“I also like to make jicama fries (This Veggie Fry Recipe Works for jicama too). Jicama also contains antioxidants and is high in vitamin C,” she adds.
4. Avocado (and avocado oil)
Speaking of guacamole, Dr. Kellyanne says avocados are rich in heart-healthy fats and fiber.
“They are beneficial gut healthAnd very good for your skin too. In fact, some studies found that daily consumption of one avocado for eight weeks improved the firmness and elasticity of the forehead skin of 39 healthy overweight women. This is the first study of its kind to find a link between avocado consumption and skin health.
Dr. Kellyanne is fond of including both avocados and avocado oil on your shopping list because she believes in diversifying your oils.
“Many people have added olive oil to their cooking repertoire, but it’s also good to try and replace oils like avocado oil. Avocado oil has a mild, slightly buttery flavor. It doesn’t spoil your food, and you can use it for anything from marinades to mayonnaise. It is also good for roasting and pan-frying as it has a high smoke point.”
She recommends adding 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to each meal for heart and gut health.
