Grocery list

drowninginatowel

So my list is pretty basic... Boneless, skinless chicken breast, ground turkey, the basic veggies, apples, whole wheat bread, and tuna for my " I don't want to call it a diet" diet:laugh: I know eventually I will get bored of these foods. I need more variety, so I wanted to know whats on your grocery list? :flowerforyou:

eggs, pistachios, almonds, laughing cow cheese, and reduced fat wheat thins. -just some things that came to mind.

Steel Cut Oats, Almond Milk (unsweetened), cottage cheese, Greek yogurt...just a couple things off the top of my head. Hope that helps some.

I'd add herbs and spices, lemon juice. A few bits and pieces to make things tastier. Also maybe plain popcorn, the type you pop your self.

Other than that I was hoping for ideas too.

My list is pretty simple..


*lots of different veggies (whatever looks good and seasonal so hopefully on sale) sometimes I get frozen veggies too.

*different kinds of fresh lean meats (same thing, whatever looks good and is a good price)

*lemons and different kinds of fruit

*different kinds of raw nuts

*unsweetened almond milk

*green and herbal tea

*whole grain wraps and multi grain bread

*olive oil, safflower oil, butter


I can get a lot of different types of healthy meals out of that while staying with my goals, and not being bored.

Ezekiel tortillas and tofu noodles are my MUST HAVES!

I don't start with a list of foods, I start with a list of recipes. Once I know what I plan to eat for the week (breakfast, lunch and dinner) I create a shopping list so I only buy what I need. This way I don't tend to throw so much stuff away and it saves money because I check what is hanging around in the freezer or the fridge and look for things to use up what I already have.

For example, this week I'll be eating:
- lasagne with green salad
- veal saltimbocca with steamed veggies
- grilled fish and crunchy noodle salad
- porridge with peanut butter and banana
- tuna and avocado sandwich
plus more!

So, my shopping list will include:
- beef mince (though turkey works well too)
- red lentils (to replace some of the meat in the lasagne, shhhhh, don't tell my husband!)
- zucchini and carrot (grated in the lasagne)
- veal, pancetta, broccoli, snow peas, white wine for the saltimbocca
- rolled oats, peanut butter, skim milk powder for my porridge
- banana, cherries, nectarines and other fruit in season
- carrots and celery and cherry tomatoes for snacks
- tinned tuna with chilli (see if you can find Sirena tuna, it's delicous)
- avocado
- grainy bread

You get the idea!
I use an app on my iPhone called MealBoard to plan meals and make a shopping list and it works really well for me.

Im going to try this. Sometimes I end up with a twenty dollars worth of food in the trash because it didn't get used up:indifferent:

I adopted a parfait idea from a MFP friend. So I always have vanilla Greek yogurt and Kashi go lean triple berry crunch. Mix them together and it makes for an awesome and filling breakfast ! I love sardines too with Ak Mak sesame crackers, but that's an acquired taste for sure
