The one brand I always keep stocked in my pantry 🍽️


My Pantry Staple (most often brand used in meal preps)

As a Registered Dietitian on a weight loss journey myself, I get asked all the time what I actually keep stocked in my kitchen. And if I’m being honest… there’s one brand that takes up more pantry space than anything else.

You’ll find it in my meal prep, my snacks, my breakfast bowls—basically, everywhere.

✨ It’s macro-friendly
✨ Easy to prep
✨ And doesn’t taste like “diet food” (aka, actually GOOD)

Kodiak Cakes is that girl. 👏

Here are 4 ways I use it on repeat:

1️⃣ My Go-To Pancakes:
I add a splash of almond extract, top with cookie dough-flavored granola butter + a sprinkle of my favorite cookie granola. It tastes like dessert and still fits my goals.

2️⃣ Chocolate Pancake Power Bowls:
Mix pancake mix + protein powder + berries + chocolate chips. Microwave, then top with peanut butter. Easy, filling, and delicious.

3️⃣ Power Balls:
Not even kidding—I just follow the OG recipe on the box and enjoy. No edits needed.

4️⃣ 3-Ingredient Muffins:
One box of Kodiak mix + one 16oz Core Power + one single-serve Oikos yogurt. That’s it. Toss it in a muffin tin, bake, and you’re golden.

👉 Whether you’re on a GLP-1 or just trying to hit your protein goals, these ideas will make life so much easier (and tastier).
