I’m a dietitian who hates meal planning. Here are 12 things I buy at Costco to make feeding my family easier.

A warm, nourishing meal usually takes time to cook, but these Veggies Made Great frittatas can be ready in just a few moments. Heat in the oven, air fryer, or microwave.

Each egg-white bite has 5 grams of protein and just 70 calories, making them a quick and satisfying breakfast or snack.

These microwavable lentils have saved me from skipping lunch more times than I can count.

In just 60 seconds, you get a hearty mix of lentils, red beans, and spices in a creamy tomato sauce — plus, there’s 11 grams of protein and 11 grams of fiber per pouch.

Enjoy the lentils alone, with rice, or over a bed of spinach for a fast and fulfilling meal.

When I can find bulk packs of Noka organic superfood smoothies at Costco, I grab them.

These plant-based smoothies are perfect anytime, whether I want a convenient on-the-go boost or a pre- or post-workout snack.

Each pouch provides 5 grams of protein and 3 grams of fiber — all with no added sugar.

My kids love plain steamed broccoli, and these organic florets from Kirkland Signature are my favorite Costco find for keeping our family meals complete.

Each 4-pound bag contains four 1-pound bags of broccoli that can be fully cooked in just a few minutes in the microwave.

This frozen mix of Brussels sprouts, sweet potatoes, broccoli, red onions, and zucchini is prepped and ready to go.

Just toss with oil and extra seasonings (if desired), spread out on a sheet pan, and bake.

The best part? While they cook, you can walk away and tackle other things like prepping the rest of dinner, playing with the kids, or even doing some chores.

Costco’s freezer section has lots of options for easy-to-prep fish, from plain salmon you season yourself to flavorful, ready-to-cook picks like miso-marinated black cod from Alaskan Leader Seafoods.

Just toss a few fillets on a sheet pan with veggies (like the mix above), and dinner’s done all at once.

Using frozen mango chunks means no washing, no cutting, and no mess. At Costco, I’ve been able to score organic ones for under $2 a pound from Columbia Fruit.

These mango chunks are easy to toss into smoothies or simply serve as a refreshing snack.

When I don’t have time to prep meat or just need a no-fuss protein and fiber boost, I reach for canned beans.

Fortunately, Costco has several varieties to choose from. I like the organic black beans from S&W, which can be used for rice bowls, salads, and wraps. Each ½-cup serving contains 7 grams of protein.

Cooking grains from scratch takes planning ahead.

So, I love these heat-and-serve pouches of quinoa and brown rice from Seeds of Change, which are ready in just 90 seconds in the microwave. They make it easy to pull together any well-rounded meal.

Each 1-cup serving has 5 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber.

Omega-3 fatty acids offer many health benefits and can promote heart health. However, it can be tough to get enough of them in a typical diet.

To help my family consume more, we keep 2-pound bags of Kirkland Signature hemp hearts, which are rich in omega-3s, on hand.

Just one tablespoon of the shelled hemp seeds provides over 4 grams of unsaturated fats and 3 grams of plant-based protein. I sprinkle them on smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt, peanut-butter sandwiches, roasted veggies, and salads.

Marinating and prepping seafood takes time I don’t always have, so I appreciate that this frozen Kirkland Signature shrimp comes ready to go, with no washing, peeling, or hassle.

The garlic-butter shrimp is perfect for adding flavor and protein to pastas, tacos, stir-fries, or salads.

One of my favorite frozen PuraVida skillet meals contains a mix of ingredients like chicken breast, bell peppers, green beans, mushrooms, and carrots in a flavorful pineapple soy sauce.

Cook straight from the freezer, and pair with precooked grains for a quick, balanced meal that’s ready in about 15 minutes.

Each serving of this stir-fry has 12 grams of protein and 2 grams of fiber.
