What are staples of your grocery shopping list? I'm new to dieting and healthier eating, just looking for ideas and tips

I like to get fresh produce weekly- cilantro, kale, tomatoes, avocados, onion,broccoli, carrots.. lots of fruit,
Chia seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, almonds are a must
I do frozen chicken breast and salmon- bake them


These are my basic must haves!

McGristy

Nonfat plain greek yogurt and berries, steel cut oats, agave sweetener, almonds, walnuts, natural peanut butter, avocados, and a plethora of veggies. Also grab n' go fruits like apples, bananas, oranges.

cottage cheese! Yum

chicken breast...

JoanaMHill

High fiber bread, for one. There's a twelve grain one my sister and I both love. Little high in calories but it's pretty hardy so I don't find myself reaching for something else too soon after that lunch sandwich. I also always get string cheese. Low in calories, high in calcium and protein for such a little thing. I usually get some kind of bite size side, like Sun Chips or pretzel sticks to curb salt cravings without a ton of grease.

Apples, chicken, ground turkey, then other fruits that are in season.

missiontofitness

Meat: chicken and steak
Produce: strawberries, blueberries, any fruit on sale. I'm also a fan of plum or cherry tomatoes, organic spring mix, and peppers.
Dairy: reduced fat blue cheese, fat free feta, hummus. Occasionally skim milk, if I need it for cooking
Dried/shelf goods: rice, tri color rotini or penne pasta, pasta sauce
Frozen: ice cream, and occasionally frozen veggies

Lettuce
Eggs
Cheddar Cheese
Greek Yogurt

Plus stuff specifically for my kids (all hell would break loose if we didn't have fruit snacks and cereal bars and milk in the house), those things are on my shopping list every single week. Everything else depends on what's on sale and what my meal plan for the week is, though we do also always have pasta/pasta sauce and chicken breasts in the house (I'll typically stock up on those when it makes sense, but I'll also always buy them if we're out, sale or not). I also make sure we have tons of produce and protein options.

Best advice I heard many years ago is shop the outer loop and skimp on what's in the center. In my store that loop is produce/dairy and eggs/deli/fresh meat and fish.

I buy over $50 in fresh produce weekly.... I eat at least 4 cups of veggies per day. someone posted greek yogurt and bananas...TOTALLY...I have tons of greek yogurt mixed with protein powder (makes a very healthy and protein-dense mousse). I don't eat much fruit, but the kiddos love it. My fave is definitely peppers, all colours. I eat them like apples...

veggie_jilly

Some of it varies based on what I have in mind for the week, but my list usually includes most of the following:

Almond Milk
Rice/quinoa/wheat pasta, whatever I'm running out of
Other frozen and fresh vegetables and fruit, whatever is on sale or I'm running out of

My grocery list consists of things we've run out of and sale items.

Food I like to always have on hand - brown rice, black rice, instant brown rice, red and white quinoa, rolled oats, pearled barley, Flat Out brand wraps, carrots, onions, garlic, celery, some type of leafy green, extra virgin olive oil, peanut oil, canola oil, apple cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, several types of hot sauce, hot chili oil, a variety of frozen fish, frozen shrimp, frozen ground turkey, canned tuna, a variety of dry and canned beans, canned tomatoes, frozen peas, frozen corn, frozen collard greens, frozen turnip greens, frozen kale, soy milk, almond milk, cottage cheese, mayo, a variety of mustards

We also buy fresh vegetables weekly but the variety varies based on price, freshness and what is ready for harvest from our garden. And I buy meat the same way - what is on sale, what looks good, what we have in the freezer from hunting.
