Low-calorie foods are an excellent choice for individuals looking to maintain a healthy diet, manage weight, or simply make more mindful eating choices. Although these types of foods are lower in calories, they still provide essential nutrients.

The frozen food section of grocery stores has become a treasure trove for health-conscious shoppers, and ALDI is one grocery chain that offers plenty of clean items to purchase for weight loss.

Their frozen foods section is known for affordable and high-quality products that offer nutritious, low-calorie items without breaking the bank.

Kyle Fitzgerald, a clean eating advocate, shared his go-to frozen items from ALDI that are perfect for weight loss and “just as good as fresh.” Read on to learn more.

1. Riced Cauliflower

This is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a low-calorie carbohydrate alternative, especially if they’re not fond of traditional rice. They also come in plain or garlic flavor.

“It makes cooking super easy. Just add salt, pepper, spices, tamari, or coconut aminos,” he suggests.

2. Organic berries

While ALDI offers fresh organic berries, they tend to lose their freshness relatively quickly. For this reason, Fitzgerald suggests opting for the frozen berry options instead.

“I normally recommend organic because they are on the dirty dozen,” Fitzgerald adds.

3. Frozen veggies

While you can certainly purchase fresh greens, ALDI’s frozen section “also has a good assortment of frozen vegetables,” Fitzgerald says. These “frozen vegetables are just as good as fresh, and sometimes they even have more nutrients.”

However, he recommends checking the label on the back to make sure the only ingredient is the actual vegetable because you don’t want any preservatives or artificial additives.
