What is your grocery shopping like?

Frozen chicken breasts - easy dinner, just defrost, cover in a lite Italian dressing and bake until done. I love roasted pepper dressing by wishbone, only 40 calories a serving and it makes it so juicy and tasty!

Honey wheat double fiber English muffins. For breakfast with 1 tbsp natural peanut butter on each side. But they're so sweet you can eat them plain!

If you like cream cheese, try goat cheese instead! Less calories, similar taste, and twice the protein!

Celery sticks and hummus

Also, I swear by lettuce wraps! I make turkey sandwiches all the time for lunch but instead of bread just roll it up in a iceberg or romaine lettuce leaf. Tastes just as good without the extra calories or carbs!


I know It's super brief but I can't think right now, I has the dumb

Eggs - Great source of protein and fat, super versatile and easy to cook.

Oatmeal - It's my favorite food ever, and is a decent source of protein and fiber, some potassium, and no sodium. You can pretty much put anything in it, and you can use it for making veggie burgers.

Beans - Another super versatile food, super cheap, and nutritious. Mix with the oatmeal, and some bell peppers/onions/corn you get great burgers.

Cheese - It's cheese. It needs no explanation.

Frozen vegetables - Mostly onions and bell peppers, they're cheap, won't go bad, and can be added to anything (like the eggs to make great omelets)

Bananas - They satisfy a sweet tooth, go great in smoothies, can be cooked with if they get too scary ripe, and they're crazy cheap over here. Like 42 cents a pound. I buy around 10 pounds a month or more. And they all get eaten. Potassium, fiber, and some vitamin C.

Cocoa - Great source of potassium, fiber, calcium, iron, antioxidants, and several minerals that I'm too lazy to list. Mix with hot soy milk, and some sugar (half as much sugar as cocoa) and you've gotten something yummy, comforting, and nutritious.

Honey - My sweetener of choice. It's nutritious, and delicious!

Kefir - Super good for you and your stomach. It takes a while to get used to, and I mostly just use it in smoothies. It's a good source of calcium and protein. (1 cup = 30% DV for calcium, and 11g protein)

Peanut butter - While there are more nutritious nut butters out there, peanut butter is cheap and I love it. Versatile - smoothies, sandwiches, as a fruit dip, by itself.

I think as far as easy recipes, you should totally look into bean burgers. You can make them as vegetable rich as you want.. So I'ma just throw a recipe out there.

1 can black beans - drained and rinsed
2 eggs
~1 cup oatmeal (preferably old-fashioned) You might need more or less, depending on how moist your mix is.
1/2 can corn (or not, whatever you prefer)
Any additional veggies (1/2 diced onion, a diced bell pepper, squash, peas, whatever) You can even throw them into your food processor and liquidate them so you don't have to deal with texture.
1 T chili powder
1 T chili sauce
1 t cumin
Salt and pepper or soysauce

Mash the beans in a bowl. I use the bottom of a glass. It doesn't have to be perfect.
Add the eggs, and the spices. Mix it up. Add the veggies. Mix it some more. Start adding oatmeal until you get it a to a consistency you think you can work with. Form patties with your hands and bake for 10 minutes on each side at around 350. Or! If you have a grill press thing (George Foreman) use that. 6 minutes. And they come out looking waaay better. Should make around 10 patties.
