Mercadona's bacon and cheese panini that is sold out on shelves

Over the last few years, Mercadona has managed to gain market share with various strategies. One of the most successful startups in recent years is prepared food. These are foods cooked in the supermarkets themselves that can be eaten on the spot. Another key to success was, especially in large cities, expanding home delivery that can be enjoyed in just a few hours.

One of their latest hits has been their bacon and cheese panini, which you can get for less than two euros.

Five Mercadona products to lose fat

Mercadona stands out for the wide variety of products it offers. That, added to its competitive prices, has made it the supermarket chain preferred by Spaniards. In its extensive catalog there is a good list of healthy, low-calorie products that nutritionists recommend to lose weight and fat. This is a selection of some of them.

Oatmeal

Without a doubt, they are one of the healthiest options for breakfast. It contains 18% fat, 66% carbohydrates and 16% protein. They represent a contribution of 375 calories per 100 grams.

Due to their crunchy texture, they resemble cereals, although it is a much more recommended option. They also have an A rating on the Nutriscore scale.

pure cocoa

Another of Mercadona's star breakfast products. Without a doubt, a much healthier option than other soluble cocoa brands. It is an item that has 375 calories per 100 grams, which makes it the perfect option to dissolve in milk.

Mercadona's pure cocoa is also ideal to combine with oat flakes. Both form an ideal breakfast for all audiences. Both for the little ones and for adults.
