I'm a busy mom and dietitian on the Mediterranean diet, so I love shopping at Target.
I keep my freezer stocked with cauliflower-crust pizzas and breakfast burritos for quick meals.

As a busy mom, it should be no surprise that I find myself at Target at least once a month.

I go there to pick up craft supplies for my daughter or kitchen gadgets for my job as a registered dietitian. And I go for the impressive grocery selection.

My family mostly follows a Mediterranean-style diet with plenty of protein, whole grains, and healthy fats.

Here are 12 groceries I buy at Target every month.
