An Australian health and fitness expert has shared his definitive list of the best high-protein products available at Aldi, perfect for those aiming to shed pounds without breaking the bank. Online Fat Loss Coach Joel Aventi identified four key items from the discount supermarket, each costing the equivalent of less than £10, as ideal staples for a lean diet.
Joel Aventi's High-Protein Aldi Staples
In a video posted to his popular @joelaventi social media account, the Sydney-based trainer stated his mission was to help shoppers stay on track with their fitness goals. His top recommendation was the Ready, Set…Cook! Marinated Chicken Breast Steaks. Priced at the equivalent of £9 for a 500g pack, these pre-marinated pieces in a mango, ginger, and lime flavour provide a substantial 22 grams of protein.
Next on his list were The Fishmonger Garlic Prawns. For £9.99 (280g pack), these prawns, seasoned with garlic, chilli, and parsley, offer a lean protein hit. 'These garlic prawns are only 180 calories and 39 grams of protein for the whole pack,' Joel explained, noting their versatility for quick meals.
Ready Meals and Snack Options
For those seeking convenience, Joel praised the World Kitchen Energise High Protein ready-meal range. His personal favourite from the line is the Lasagne, a 350g meal for £7.99 containing 41 grams of protein and 414 calories. Other options include Beef Stroganoff and Lemon Pepper Chicken.
The coach also highlighted two perfect protein-rich snacks for keeping hunger at bay. The first is the Yoguri Protein Yoghurt range, available in Vanilla, Mixed Berries, and Passionfruit flavours at £2.29 per 150g pouch. Each pouch contains just 95 calories and 15g of protein.
His other snack pick was the Blackstone Gourmet Snack Co. Biltong Chilli, a 100g pack of air-dried beef for £7.99. 'This beef biltong is 50 grams of protein for the entire pack,' he said, recommending it as a flavourful and satisfying option.
Another Coach's Healthy Aldi Haul
Joel isn't the only expert praising Aldi's health-conscious offerings. Queensland nutrition coach Ash Murph also recently shared her top value finds for a weight-loss diet on her @coachedby.ashmurph account.
Her list featured two dairy staples: the Yoguri Plain Greek Style Strained Yoghurt (900g for £5.69) and Westacre Dairy Cottage Cheese (500g for £5.49). She emphasised their clean ingredients and high-protein, low-calorie profiles.
Ash also recommended Oh So Natural Organic Medjool Dates (£10.49 for 454g) for a natural sweet fix. Finally, she championed Aldi's frozen fruit, specifically the Orchard & Vine Mango (£8.29 for 1kg) and Orchard & Vine Blueberries (£5.19 for 500g), which she believes offer superior quality and taste compared to other supermarkets.
With health coaches highlighting these affordable, nutrient-dense options, Aldi is proving to be a strong contender for anyone's weekly shop focused on wellness and weight management.
