Tips from a health coach about how to stock a healthy pantry so you always have food on hand to make healthy and delicious meals!
One key to making healthy eating easier is making sure your pantry is stocked with healthy foods.
I always joke that Isaac and I have way too much food in the house for two people, but then again I don’t ever complain when I look up recipes and already have all the ingredients on hand!
Once you have your pantry stocked with these healthy staples be sure to check out my healthy pantry staple recipes for a roundup of quick and easy meals you can make.
Healthy Pantry Staples to Keep on Hand
Grains and Legumes
Oats (steel cut and old fashioned)
Quinoa
Rice
Dry beans like chickpeas, red beans, black beans and lentils
Thank you for sharing a well rounded list of pantry staples. Nothing is more frustrating than finding a great recipe only to realize you do not have an ingredient on hand!
It’s so true how having a healthy pantry makes everything easier when trying to make new recipes! I purposely threw out the not so good things in my pantry and have stocked it up with healthy items.
Hey! Thank you for the insights. I have gone through the list and have almost everything what you listed above! However, I am thinking about decreasing the emount of canned food, as it often comes along with high sodium amount (e.g. fish). With canned veggies it is much easier, rinsing them off with water.
Such a great educator. Thank you so much for sharing this! Stocking your foods during this pandemic is really important. Food supplies might be out of stock in the market.

Of course, I’m so glad it’s helpful!
What is the problem with canned tomatoes? Does it apply to home canned tomatoes in mason jars? I only eat my own home canned tomatoes.
Check out this article. It’s the BPA in the cans that’s the issue. Homemade canned tomatoes are great!
