baby carrots
salad makin's
an alternating veggie to roast (brussel sprouts, fennel, broccoli, asparagus)
apples
bananas
eggs
Strong & Kind almond bars
cottage cheese
Greek yogurt
chicken (to roast on Sunday, for protein thoughout the week)

    Peppers - hot and sweet
    mushrooms - put them in lots of dishes
    eggs
    meats - mostly lean
    plain yogurt
    cheese
    apples
    Berries
    Greens of various types
    Tortillas - sometimes corn sometimes lower calorie flour


    I keep bananas stocked up in the freezer and stock up on protein bars and powders and stock up on frozen veggies ....so those aren't weekly purchases
