Burgers and Dogs
Some may argue that the perfect burger or hot dog are the staple of a good barbecue. Here are some things to keep in mind when you’re shopping for your protein:
Beef: choose organic, and 100% grass-fed if possible. Trader Joe’s, Costco, and Whole Foods all have these options
Chicken: should be organic, and ideally pasture-raised. Thrive Market is a great source for this.
Hot dogs: 100% grass-fed organic beef options are becoming more widely available like these from Whole Foods or these from Teton Waters Ranch, available at Costco.
If you’re looking for vegetarian or vegan options, Yeah Dawg vegan hot dogs, and Amy’s Organic California Veggie Burgers are both made with real-food ingredients and are a few of our favorite picks!

Buns
There are lots of sneaky ingredients hiding in packaged bread products. Look out for soybean oil, canola oil, preservatives such as calcium propionate, and sugar. Below are some of our favorite options!
Ezekiel Sprouted Wheat Hot Dog Buns
Rudi's Organic White Hamburger Buns
Condiments
Condiments are another one of those foods where unhealthy ingredients often sneak in. Be on the lookout for lots of sugar (often in the form of high-fructose corn syrup), natural flavors, and sodium. Ideally, a serving of sauce would have less than eight grams of sugar and less than 10 percent of the daily value of sodium (230 milligrams). We really like the Noble Made sauces, and Primal Kitchen condiments as a great alternative.
