- The #1 reason it’s hard to stay on a new healthy way of eating like the Mediterranean diet is that it can be hard to maintain, especially if you don’t always have fresh ingredients in the fridge. But if you want to set yourself up for success with one trip to the grocery store, then this video is for you.
I’m going to share a list of ingredients I call my Last-Minute Pantry. Groceries that cost around $50 to stock up on so you can stay on a healthy track and get nutrient-packed good-for-you meals on the table in less than 30 minutes.

Hey guys, just for your information, I used prices that I found online from Walmart's grocery store to try to find prices that are valid in the US. And of course, the brands you see in my video are those I buy here in Spain! So please take the pricing with a big grain of salt!
My life changed for the better once I started using parmesan cheese in a block, rather than using the stuff in a can. 😅 😅😅
Hi Kathlyn! You are so right and such a nice way to put it…good freshly grated Parmesan is a life-changer! Cheers, Caroline
@kathlynsteinman3599 I agree, especially since I found out that the canned parmesan cheese is full of actual sawdust! It's so disgusting!
Loved your emergency pantry ideas as well as the promotion of Pick Up Limes new app.
Thanks, Joann! I agree that whatever tools help you stay on track are good tools to have at the ready and if apps make a difference then they are just as important as other kitchen tools. Plus, I’m a big fan of Pick Up Limes channel too! Cheers, Caroline
Great ideas!! I love it,
Yes i love frozen berries in my plain Greek yogurt
Me too!!
This list is actually very similar to what I just ended up having after very loosely following the Mediterranean diet for a while. Thanks for the vid!
Hi Schnauzer! You’re totally welcome. The toughest part was whiddling it down to ingredients that could total up to $50 in one grocery trip and still provide a good balance. Of course, there are lots more that could be and should be part of that pantry, but for my ICE list (in case of emergency) at least this grocery list would do it!
I get an A+ at this pantry-stocking too--I guess its because I'm always hangry and last minute as a full time worker with a fast metabolism. But I love your ideas for fast meals! Can't get enough!!!
Then you get to go straight to the head of the class, Hadassah! Thanks for joining in the conversation. Cheers, Caroline
I love to make my oats savory with 1 or 2 eggs over medium and 1 Tab. Crunchy peanut butter or even instead of PB ill use salsa and hot sauce yumm 😋
Thank you as always for your practical guides! I'm currently trying to use up my bursting freezer contents so that I can get to a more organized state. Spain makes jarred beans look so chic somehow also!
Isn’t it funny what’s common in different places and what looks exotic in others? Canned goods in the US, jars here. Don’’t know why but I do know that Spain is renowned for the quality of their jarred and canned seafood, beans and vegetables so I count myself lucky that I can get them in a pretty much everyday way. I’ve got a similar freezer problem this week (not to mention my freezer is slightly larger than a shoebox). Too many apricots from the harvest and I’m not done jamming. Good luck with your tidy up! Cheers, Caroline
Your recommendations are more than accurate. Here in Spain, these items are always available on hand. Love your videos. Keep up with the great content. Hasta Luego 👋
Hi - Sounds like you are another fan and resident of Spain! Yay! Aren’t we lucky to live here! Cheers, Caroline
@@mediterraneanminutes Regards, from Guardamar del Segura, Alicante
@@huguesbrouillette Thanks for sharing your location. Not too far, all things considered, so you know probably better than most, what my experience has been, I am right in the city center of Alicante (overlooking Plaza del Elche) and the farm is in Torremanzanas, about 45 minutes up into the mountains. Aren’t we so lucky to live here!
@@mediterraneanminutes we are indeed! I’ve always been interested in wholesome food and cooking. I took Italian cuisine classes back home in Montreal Canada 🇨🇦 and now that I live full time here in Spain 🇪🇸, I’m also taking Spanish cooking classes in Alicante. It’s one of my favourite hobbies. If you are to give classes or plan to make any event concerning food, let me know 🤩. I would love to visit the farm 🙃
@@huguesbrouillette I grew up on the border with Canada across from the Bluewater bridge in Sarnia! Small world. If you find you are in Alicante city for classes, please let me know and perhaps we can get together for a cortado or glass. You can direct contact me through my website, www.mediterraneanminutes.com. No future plans for classes though.
I like your spice jars!
Thanks! I have so many different types, one of my favorites are little jars I reuse from jars I end up with from buying kefir! But any that keep things nice and sealed tight work! And normally, they are always stored in a dark cupboard except for when it’s cooking time or photo time! The more the merrier! Cheers, Caroline
Great ideas.
Hi again! And as always, thanks for the positive message! Cheers, Caroline
Those prices don’t come close to what we pay in Michigan!
Hi Leslie. Sorry about that, I’m a Michigan girl too. I sourced the prices from the online grocery store at Walmart since they are the largest US grocery chain and thought it would be roughly the same at places like Meijer and Kroger. I also used store brand labels and pulled the prices at the begining on July 2023. Hopefully you can find at least a few of the ingredients at comparable prices. Best of luck on your healthy journey, Caroline
Thank you for this content. My doctor suggested I give the Mediterranean diet a shotbut could not tell me where to start.
Hi Chip! So glad you found my channel, I hope it’s helpful to get you all the information you need to understand the Mediterranean diet and how to follow it. I’ve got plenty of videos that you can watch to get an idea of just what to do so I hope you enjoy them and get plenty of value from them… and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to send me a message on any of them. I’ll be happy to help out. Welcome, so glad you can join me on thie healthy journey. Cheers, Caroline
@@mediterraneanminutes thank you Caroline. I am your newest subscriber. Trying out your salad dressing recipe today.
Hope you enjoy it @@chipdr911
....so much better than the tree bark and fermented soy beans I have now, 😀
Ooh, I sure hope so d’A! Cheers, Caroline
You always come up with something more incredible, more interesting and more awesome 👌 your positive energy and passion towards everything you do make it like a living masterpiece 👍keep up with your wonderful innovative ideas and Stay greatly blessed forever 🙂🎁🙂🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
Wow, thank you so much. What kind words. You made my day! Cheers, Caroline
Was this video for me?😉
Just kidding. But I did comment on a previous video about not having the talent to put together all of the delicious Mediterranean ingredients like you do without always following a recipe. Thanks again for the tips! Great video!
Hi 304! Yep, I made it especially for you (ha ha ha)! And the next ones where I actually use those ingredients to make up some dinners will have you in mind too! Cheers, Caroline
Hello, yes please make a food prep video. Love your videos!!! I didn't see the link in the description. Thank you!
Hi Jeanine! Thanks for joining in the conversation. I do have a few meal prep videos on the channel that you might start with while I work on another for the future for you! Just check out the playlists on my channel and you’ll find them! Cheers, Caroline
Hi Caroline. Great video. Do you keep your lemons in the fridge or out on the counter? I had my surgery last Thursday. How is your wrist doing?
Hi Jennifer! First, lemons in the fridge but away from ethylene-producers like apples. Second, my wrist is a lot better but the location of the surgery aggravated the nerve that passes close by so it’s still something that is a bother from time to time and not much I can do about it but much better than it was. I hope your recovery is fast and painless! Take good care. Cheers, Caroline
Great video! Also some great websites and youtube channels--your's of course; Mediterranean dish (great easy Mediterranean dishes); Pick up Limes is good but Rainbow Plant LIfe to me is better (try her lentil spaghetti sauce--easy and wonderful), Helen Rennie is a cooking teacher who I believe is following the Mediterranean way of eating (I love her easy Almond Trout recipe--is a go to and takes 20--a little butter but not too much) as well as Melissa Clark (has some super hard stuff too). BTW, almost never call it the "Mediterranean diet", it's only a "diet" in the sense that it is what someone eats. I think a better term is Mediterranean way of eating (though perhaps too long!). And yeah I still go out for Chinese, etc (though I do fast food almost never).
BTW, much prefer jarred or pouch beans, but not too easy to find in the US.
So so funny, Jay J. All the mentions are favorites of mine too! And since the beginning, my channel tagline has been 'eating the Mediterranean way every day'! In fact, I went so far as to tell myself I would NEVER use the word diet. But I discovered that unfortunately in order to be "found" on TH-cam you have to use search words that people use too...and that meant I had to get off my high-pony and start incorporating the word 'diet' in my work...but if that's what it takes to help people find my story, it's worth it. Just unfortunate that the term "diet" has come to be far better known as a short-term unhealthy fix not a long-term healthy way of eating. I really appreciate the time and thought you put into sharing comments with me and others on the channel, Jay. it's much appreciated! Cheers, Caroline
Caroline I can't seem to download any of your help sheets can u tell me how I can do that. I love all of your suggestions
I’m so sorry you are having trouble, Linda. You’re one of my besties so I will figure it out tomorrow and make sure you can get to them or I will send them direct to you. Cheers, Caroline
Linda - I can’t figure out the problem and regret to have to ask you to send me a direct email that I can respond to. Easiest way is to go my website and just send me a direct email message from the contant page and I will gather up the pdf’s and send them to you right away.
I have all of these things on hand...I'm pretty proud of myself lol.
And of course you know that I’m proud of you too! Next trip to Spain, you MUST come and visit! XO C
@@mediterraneanminutes I would love that. Thank you.
I'm confused. I thought pasta wasn't allowed because it is made from flour???
Hi Deborah - Not at all. Pasta is a mainstay of the Mediterranean diet. It is best if you can find pasta made from whole grains, but having pasta a few times a week is very typical and not at all a problem. Especially when it is the base for the opportunity to top it with tons of healthy vegetables and homwmade tomato sauce! Cheers, Caroline
@@mediterraneanminutes thank you so much! Btw, I'm just now getting on the Mediterranean bandwagon at 75 years old and totally love your videos! 😊
@@deborahghiselli2020 SO happy yuo found me! It a perfect age to start eating this healthy way every day!
