Since starting my weight-loss journey 10 months ago, I've shed 73 pounds, thanks in part to a few foods I've found at Costco. Here are 10 products I get at Costco to stay on track with my fitness journey.

Hearts of palm have been game-changers during my weight-loss journey. I use them to scoop up tuna salad and cottage-cheese dips.
The crunchy vegetable pairs well with so many foods for low-calorie, tasty snacks.
When I need a protein boost, I reach for the Foppen Norwegian smoked-salmon slices.

When I need a fiber-rich snack, I stuff these mini peppers with cottage cheese and sprinkle them with Tajín and a drizzle of chamoy, a savory sauce made with pickled fruit.
I also use them as vessels for other dips — because there's nothing I love more than a creamy and crunchy pairing.
I use the Kirkland Signature organic plain Greek yogurt as a base for all of my dips.
The Kirkland Signature organic plain Greek yogurt can be dressed up with the right combination of spices.
Myriam Estrella
Kirkland Signature Greek yogurt is the secret ingredient in all of my dips. It adds a great creaminess and a lot of protein — 18 grams per serving, to be exact.
Its mild flavor is also easy to cover up or complement with so many spices.
I use the Safe Catch ahi yellowfin tuna steaks in a couple of dishes.
I sometimes put the Safe Catch ahi yellowfin tuna steaks in a dip.
Myriam Estrella
The Safe Catch ahi yellowfin tuna packs are nutrient-dense powerhouses with 17 grams of protein per serving.

I snack on the Sunset seedless cucumbers in between meals.
The Sunset seedless cucumbers are delicious with a dip or by themselves.
Myriam Estrella
Seedless cucumbers are crunchy and last ages in my fridge. I usually pair these with a dip, but they're also great by themselves with lime juice and Tajín sprinkled on top.
Single-serve cups of Kirkland Signature organic hummus help me practice portion control.
The Kirkland Signature organic hummus cups are the perfect size for a quick snack.
Myriam Estrella
I don't enjoy counting calories, so I buy as many single-serve items as possible. The single-serve Kirkland Signature organic hummus cups are awesome for keeping my portion sizes in check.
Each pack comes with 20 cups that taste amazing with veggies or crackers.
When I'm craving sweets, I'll buy a box of Gushers.
42 pouches come in a box of Gushers.
Myriam Estrella
Small treats keep me from feeling deprived of sweets, and Gushers are the perfect answer to those candy cravings.
I eat everything in moderation, so I love that Costco carries boxes filled with single-serve packs of Gushers. Each box comes with 42 pouches of tropical and strawberry flavors.
I'm not usually into health drinks, but the Slate protein shakes are delicious.
I pair the Slate protein shakes with cereal.
Myriam Estrella
I'd describe the Slate protein shakes as chocolate milk that went to the gym. Each can contains 20 grams of protein, and the milkshakes taste amazing with cereal.
I'm not usually a fan of protein drinks, but this one is an everyday staple for me.
