Vegans/Vegetarians - what does your cart look like?

(i don't identify as vegetarian but only bring meat in the house once or twice a month, and eat meat out of the house about once a week.)

berries
baby carrots
spinach
apples
frozen mixed vegetables, no sauce
red peppers
onions
bananas (not for me, i hate the darn things)
black beans
canned tomatoes
quinoa
brown rice
peanuts
pasta
macaroni and cheese (annie's organic, i buy this bulk)
organic udon
salad greens
juice
cheese
eggs
almond milk, unsweetened
non-dairy creamer
english muffins (bulk)
whole wheat tortillas
cereal (addicted to cinnamon and vanilla chex)
enchilada sauce
salsa
pretzels (snyders only because of the ingredients)
tostitos
condiments/etc as needed (rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, coconut oil, salad dressings - i get all my spices from a local health food/organic market by the ounce)
sometimes veggie burgers
sometimes jello pudding cups
sometimes ice cream
sometimes brownie brittle
once a month a 4-5lb rump roast for pot roast
once in a while bacon (usually purchased bulk & shared with a family member)

i buy protein shakes in 5lb containers from amazon. i get local veggies sometimes at the farmer's market or farm stands; if i can't buy local i try to buy organic. depending on what hubby wants for lunch, frozen burritos or extra beans or different types of beans may show up. i don't buy these things every week. my cart used to consist of at least three packages of meat (ground beef, chicken, sausages), white bread, cookies, more cheese than i buy now, frozen meals, cold cuts, processed snacks, i barely even remember what other crap.

Things I never buy:
any fake /soy meat products - unless its fermented, soy is not very good for you.
shakes of any kind.
honey and sugar. I've quit. They make me fat because i can't control my intake.

Ways to get protein if you are vegetarian or vegan
Nuts and seeds
lentils and dried beans (usually around 20%)
vegetables have some protein
so do unprocessed grains.

dairy such as milk and yoghurt and cheese
eggs

But mainly eat a lot of lentils and beans. At least two meals a day should include these foods but preferably three meals per day. It is what the vegetarians in india live on.

in my view indians seem to have the best and widest repertoire of eating lentils and beans.
The mediterranean countries seem to have the widest and yummiest repertoire of cooking with vegetables. The indians seem to destroy the flavour of most vegetables.

however check out the middle east, other parts of asia and of course south america also for a wide range of exciting and delicious recipes. The middle east has great rice dishes.

I also include some dried fruits - dried figs and fresh dates are my favourite but i have to ration them.
coconut cream
lots of fresh fruit
garlic ginger and spices and herbs
olive oil and vinegar for salads.
sesame oil and asian sauces like soy fish sauce etc.

oats and bread for breakfast.
Wine.

Some great looking carts here folks!

Here's an average trip for me:
Veggies/fruit probably 80% organic

Pick two- blueberries, watermelon, cantaloupe, raspberries
Bananas
Onions
Mushrooms
Carrots
Avocados
Sweet potatoes
Pick two-asparagus, broccoli, bok choy, green beans
Broccoli rabe
Kale
Almond butter
Some sort of quality dark chocolate
Seltzer
2% organic Greek yogurt
Cage free organic egg whites
Ufsweetened added protein almond milk
Goat cheese
Cheddar cheese
Pick three- filet, skirt steak, chicken leg thigh combo, pork tenderloin, lamb shoulder (all happy healthy animals)
Chicken breast boneless skinless
Balsamic and onion Brussel sprouts from whole foods deli (Im addicted to these)

I'm sure there are some other things but this is mostly my go tos. I also do whey protein with bobs flax seed meal.
I'm not a big grain guy, I know. Ie at a ton of cukes and tomatoes too but those come from the garden this time of year. I'm not a vegetarian either, but it absolutely love fruits and veggies. They say your tastes develop between 3-5 years old, and my folks were big fruit/vegetable eaters. In a house where we referred to "dessert" as "a big treat" we were allowed to eat fruit anytime, day or night.
