    Welcome to my list of The Best Healthy pantry essentials that are always stocked in my kitchen. All products are Whole30 or Paleo-friendly.

    Pantry- A small room or cabinetry in which food, groceries, or other provisions are kept.

    The more you cook and try out different recipes there will be certain ingredients or condiments you use often. Nobody wants to run to the store every time a recipe calls for avocado oil or coconut aminos?

    Here is will breakdown of everything I keep in my pantry and the items I can't live without. All products will have an amazon link but you can find almost everything at Whole Foods, Sprouts, and Costco.
