Dietitian reveals 11 budget-friendly healthy staples at Aldi for smart shoppers
A dietitian has highlighted 11 budget-friendly yet nutritious products available at Aldi. The list proves that healthy eating doesn't have to come with a high price tag. With over 600 stores across Australia, the supermarket chain offers affordable alternatives to premium brands.
Jess Burvill, an accredited practising dietitian, shared her top picks for healthy and cost-effective staples. Among them is the Brooklea No Added Sugar Raspberry Yoghurt Pouch, a simple, kid-friendly option for lunchboxes. For those seeking a quick fibre boost, the Imperial Grain Super Blend Microwave Rice Pouch provides an instant solution.
Snack lovers can turn to Hillcrest Paleo Bars and Hillcrest Premium Nut Bars, both natural and low in sugar. The Wild Origins Soy & Linseed Sourdough bread stands out as a cheaper alternative to artisan bakery Sonoma's loaves. Meanwhile, the Fresh Salad Co Lentil Tabbouleh Salad offers a convenient, healthy lunch that pairs well with canned tuna or salmon.
For protein-rich meals, the Portview Power Bowl delivers high-fibre tuna and bean combinations. The Yoguri Greek Style Strained Yoghurt matches Chobani's nutritional profile at a lower cost. Chocolate fans can enjoy Moser Roth Finest Dark Chocolate 70% Cocoa, a budget-friendly dupe for Lindt with added health benefits.
Other recommendations include the Deli Originals Fresh Hommus Dip Multipack, ideal for veggie snacks, and Snack'N'Go canned beans and chickpeas, a practical substitute for Edgell's Snack Time range.
The dietitian's selections show that Aldi stocks a range of healthy, affordable alternatives to well-known brands. Shoppers can find everything from high-protein meals to low-sugar snacks without overspending. The list reinforces that eating well on a budget is achievable with the right choices.
