I eat the same breakfast every day, which includes:
- 0% Fage Greek yogurt
- Chocolate PB2
- Chocolate protein powder
- Trader Joe's high fiber cereal.
I also eat a lot of vegetables. These vary based on season and cravings, but they usually include:
- Broccoli
- Green beans
- Spinach
- Lettuce or other salad greens
- Tomatoes
- Asparagus
- Sugar snap peas or snow peas
I have vegetarian protein with every meal. Most often:
- Tofu
- TVP/soy curls
- Trader Joe's soy crumbles (i.e., meatless "ground beef")
- Tempeh, either plain or flavored
- Eggs
Snacks and other things:
- Quest bars
- Chocolate, the highest quality I can get. I'm a chocolate snob.
- Low calorie ice cream, usually Enlightened.
- Low calorie sauces. Dinner is often a veggie, a protein, and a sauce.
- Tea
- High quality flavored balsamic vinegar, which we use instead of salad dressing.
I also have certain things I always keep in the freezer:
- Homemade spaghetti sauce
- Homemade vegan chili
- Cooked beans
- Quick meals, like frozen "chicken" patties or a frozen pizza.
This is all in addition to basic pantry staples like cooking spray, flour, spices, salt, etc.4 -
Here are my current staple foods:
Eggs
Cheese (multiple varieties)
Grape tomatoes
Spinach
Onions
Peppers
Mushrooms
Lettuce
Carrots
Other veggies(depending on what I’m planning to cook) like broccoli, zucchini, green beans, potatoes
Bread
Plain yogurt
Fruit (seasonally variable): right now it’s strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, pineapple, and soon cherries! but in the fall or winter it’s apples, pears and clementines.
Bananas, always.
Some kind of chicken or fish to cook
Milk
Almonds
Butter
Cottage cheese
Staples I usually have around and buy as needed:
Peanut butter
Pasta
Oatmeal
Rice
Canned beans
Olive oil
Canned tomato products
Tuna
Salsa
Hope this helps!2 -

We have Blue Apron delivered every week. I love it. Love to cook don't like grocery shopping or figuring out what to have for dinner. I always have leftovers so the calorie count is reasonable. I noticed that people don't include wine or coffee on their shopping list - perhaps this is my downfall???0
