My husband and I do most of our shopping at Aldi. Jasmine Westbrooks

I'm a registered dietitian who married a personal trainer, and we go to Aldi for grocery staples.
The budget chain is a great spot for frozen berries, salad kits, and canned goods.

Aldi is the fastest-growing grocery chain in the US — and for good reason. When I think of great quality food and affordable prices, I instantly imagine my shopping experiences at Aldi.

As a dietitian, I was on the hunt for a grocery store that could provide me with a variety of nutritious products that also tasted good. My then-boyfriend, now-husband has similar goals as a personal trainer.

Aldi took the crown — we've been shopping there for over 10 years.

We're always looking for nutritionally dense foods that support our workout regimen and recovery. But as busy business owners, we're also looking for quick, healthy meals.

Here are 10 of our favorite things to buy at Aldi.
