Coffee Beans. Plain greek yogurt, Balkan Yogurt and skyr. Cottage cheese. Boneless, skinless chicken breast. Eggs. Oats (actually and oat, chia, flax seed, quinoa blend I buy). Rye bread. Natural crunchy Peanut butter. Zucchini, cauliflower, green beans and asparagus. Milk. Those are the staples that make it in my grocery cart every week for me and the family. Then I'll pick up extras such as ingredients to make blueberry scones or pumpkin muffins, or whatever I'm baking that week. Different herbs/seasonings for whatever chicken dishes I'm making. Mustard, salsa, hummus, guacamole.3
