Spotted on Shelves (Costco Edition!)…

Del Real Foods Barbacoa Seasoned Beef and Sauce Homestyle Recipe

5 oz.: 110 calories, 3g total fat (1g sat. fat), 650mg sodium, 2g carbs, 0g fiber, 1g sugars, 22g protein -- SmartPoints® value 2*

This is a MAJOR find! The shredded beef is fully cooked and tastes like you simmered it in your own kitchen. Plus, it's made with extra-lean beef and a super-flavorful sauce! Throw it in the microwave, and assemble the DIY burrito bowl of your dreams. Find it in the refrigerated section.

Kirkland Signature Protein Bars

1 bar: 190 calories, 6 - 7g total fat (1.5 - 3g sat. fat), 170 - 250mg sodium, 22 - 23g carbs, 15 - 17g fiber, 1 - 2g sugars, 21 - 22g protein -- SmartPoints® value 4 - 5*

Costco's private-label brand has come through with a total winner. These delicious bars are gluten free with no artificial flavors, and each one has only 1 - 2g sugars and 3 - 4g net carbs! The texture is dense, chewy, and all-around awesome (similar to Quest Bars). They come in 4 flavors: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Chocolate Peanut Butter Chunk, Chocolate Brownie, and Cookies and Cream. Lisa’s tip: Throw one in your bag, and snack on it throughout the day.

1 link: 160 calories, 9g total fat (3g sat. fat), 590mg sodium, 1g carbs, 0g fiber, 0g sugars, 16g protein -- SmartPoints® value 4*

It's also keto friendly, gluten free, pork free, and free from nitrates and nitrites. Grab a pack in the refrigerated section, and try it out in these Hungry Girl recipes.
