What does your healthy grocery list look like??

produce:
spinach
kale
maybe some chard or beet greens
tomatoes
peppers
carrots
a stalk or two of celery (usually for soup, because celery sucks)
squash
avocados
onions
garlic
beets
usually a serving or two o fruit
assorted other veg depending on what I'm making: broccoli, brussels sprouts, eggplant, cucumber, zucchini, jicama, snap peas, snow peas, green beans, whatever
Nuts, maybe a little cheese, maybe some dried fruit or olives
Occasionally some quinoa, brown rice, lentils, or amaranth
Canned:
black beans for quick soups or sides
tomato products
coconut milk
maybe some tuna
Meat - depending on how my budget is looking, I head to the butcher and buy grass fed whatever's-looking-good or stick with chicken thighs or breasts, pork tenderloin, ground beef from the supermarket. occasional ham, roast beast, roasting chicken
sometimes one of those rotisserie chickens... I love homemade chicken stock for soup, but it requires a lot of chicken bones; the butcher only has bones occasionally. Fish: fatty, or low-on-the-food-chain... farmed or wild. I know wild caught is good for you (apart from the mercury), but I get stressed out trying to make fair choices given the state of worldwide fisheries (this stresses me out, but buying factory meat doesn't? I know, I know) so I usually have it once a week or even less.
Milk for coffee (actually, my real grocery list contains a few items that are mainly for my partner, and milk is one)
Maybe some frozen vegetables, coffee, specialty items I might be out of, whatever.
Edit: Eggs! Oh man, eggs. Pasture when I'm at the butcher anyway, omega-3 if I'm not/won't be for a while.0 -
Fruits (Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, apples, bananas, pears)
Veggies (sweet potatoes, baby spinach, brocolli, squash/zucchini, mushrooms, onions, garlic, asparagus)

Just a bit, but those are my staples! I eat a lot of graham crackers, too, with a bit of peanut butter spread on them. They taste like nutter butter cookies. Good luck making your own!0 -

Pretty simple and consistent for me during a serious healthy push (like right now, before summer). My diet at this time is extremely high protein, low fat, and low carb. So, a lot of lean proteins & raw veggies:
Skinless, boneless chicken breast (I get a ton because it's healthy and only $1.99/lb where I shop)
99% fat free ground turkey
Turkey breast cutlets
Top round steak
Eggs (LOTS OF EGGS!)
Shrimp
Fresh salmon or Tilapia or Scallops (usually for just one meal since all are pretty expensive)
Romaine lettuce
Iceberg lettuce
Green beans
Celery
Spinach
White/Yellow onions
Garlic cloves
Tomatoes
Sun-dried tomatoes
Plain instant oatmeal
Parmesan cheese
Olive oil
Bread crumbs & seasonings (or a Shake N Bake kit)
Yogurt based low-fat salad dressings
Then I usually get one item that is for my Saturday cheat meal. Most recently I think I got a Red Baron frozen pizza & wings combo.0 -
Soymilk, Extra Firm Tofu, Frozen Veggie Burgers, Garlic Bulbs, Salsa, lots of Fresh Veggies & Fruits, canned beans, Flax seed, Protein Powder, Flatbread, lettuce, PB2, etc. I make a lot of homemade soups, veggie lasagna, Oven baked Barbecue Tofu....the list goes on what you can make with Tofu, I love it!! :happy:0
