my plan-shopping list

Kali112

So instead of going around the supermarket and deciding on the spot what to buy, I have complied a list of foods, mostly superfoods, which I am going to buy and THEN afterwards decide what to eat/what meals to make with it. I am a student-if it is in my fridge, i have to eat it as my student budget does not stretch very far! This post is mostly for my own mental satisfaction but feel free to add your list if you have one.

List:
Sweet potato
Butternut squash
Natural yoghurt
berries
apples
garlic
Lean beef (i need more iron)
red pepper
flax seeds
Beans/chickpeas
Brocolli
Tomatoes

oatmeal
almonds
peanuts
peanut butter
more fruits and veggies
hummus
pretzels

i bought quinoa yesterday and made a mediterranian salad with it... "Pronounced 'keen wah', Quinoa is a frequently neglected and relatively unknown superfood - containing a perfect balance of all eight essential amino acids. It is gluten-free and a great source of protein. Nothing else packs a punch of nutrition quite like quinoa."

Great idea. And looks like a good lis. Consider adding ome dark leafy greens for iron also.

More grains: quinoa, brown rice

Goes a long way for a starving college student. I ate a lot of beans and rice in college. lol

just eat the the stuff that spoils quickest first! And Quinoa is awesome. I make fritters out of leftover (slightly past their prime) vegies and a couple eggs.
