An ideal grocery list: What's on yours?

I am so into making healthy grocery lists right now so I couldnt wait to share!

Ok, so I make this list based off wholesome meals that have to be yummy too (I dont wanna eat it if its doesnt satisfy me, no matter how many little calories). I also make sure to buy stuff for each meal, so im never bored.

from doing weight watchers and this website this what ive learned are the best staples and fresh stuff to have

-whole grain bread
-bagel thins (its a brand, theyre about 1/3 the size of a bagel)
-tortillas
-coconut milk (not in the can, like the actual stuff you drink. its in the milk section. if you love coconut- this is for you. perfect for coffee, oatmeal, etc)
-bananas
-oranges
-mangoes (i know you said youre not too into fruit, if you like any these are my favorites for a snack or breakfast)
-almond butter
-deli turkey
-tuna
-steak
-lettuce, tomatoes, onions and/or baby carrots
-pistachios
-almonds (blue diamond brands are amazing, especially the wasabi soy sauce and chilli lime flavors, if you like that stuff, they also have a ton of other flavors)
-fish
-whole wheat pasta
-pasta sauce
-salsa
-jalapenos
-eggs
-turkey bacon
-oatmeal
-big bag of frozen chicken breasts
-yoplait coconut greek yogurt- this stuff saves me. its so good.
-all chobani greek yogurt, individual sizes.
-oatmeal
-canned beans
-frozen veggies - i do this for convenience b/c i would love to cook fresh vegetables every day but with my schedule i dont have time and/or they go bad too soon. so i buy some fresh, but alot frozen, so i can always have some on hand and then be able to throw them into pasta or a salad or whatever.
-newmans own lime viniagrette- amazing.

Grrreat ideas EVERYONE

Do any of you have suggestions OR have simple/tasty recipes that you like to follow on a normal basis?! Neither me or my hubby like to cook, but I'd like to get my "feet wet" (so to speak)... I'm looking for recipes that are relatively quick & require few ingredients. Any help would be most appreciated!



Found the following info through WOMEN'S HEALTH: Already have*** OR will have in my cart on my next grocery run


***Almonds and other nuts: with skins intact (Build muscle, reduce cravings)

***Dairy products: fat-free or low-fat milk, yogurt, cheese (Build strong bones, fire up weight loss)

***Eggs (Build muscle, burn fat)

Turkey and other lean meats (Build muscle, strengthen immunity)

Berries (Improve satiety, prevent cravings)

Enova oil: soy and canola oil (Promotes fullness, not easily stored as fat)

***Peanut butter: Boosts testosterone (builds muscle, burns fat)

Fatty fish: such as salmon, tuna, mackerel (Trigger fullness, fire up fat burning)

Grapefruit (Lowers insulin, regulates blood sugar and metabolism; be sure to eat the fleshy white membranes)

***Green tea (Fires up fat burning)

Chili peppers (Spikes metabolism)

Spinach and green vegetables (Fight free radicals and improve recovery for better muscle building)

***Whole grains: quinoa, brown rice, whole grain cereal (Small doses prevent body from storing fat)

***Beans and legumes (Build muscle, help burn fat, regulate digestion) -- DOES ANYONE HAVE TASTY & HEALTHY RECIPES FOR BEANS?!

Whey (Builds muscle, burns fat)

Our staples are turning into the following
Broccoli
Cauliflower
Red Peppers
Orange Peppers
Carrots to be grated
Cucumber
with Grape Tomatoes

Make that into a salad, no lettuce required, then as dressing mostly cottage cheese with a bit of FF Mircle Whip. One day I'm going to try cottage cheese with a strong rasberry basalmic vinigar. One day that I am brave.

We also include fruits for snacks
Honey pretzels
Sin Snack is a sugary cereal like golden grams, but measured to make sure I stay with in the serving size.
Dempsters flax bread
Yogurt
Boneless, skinless chicken
Tuna, great for mixing with most things for added protien

Silk unsweetened almond milk
smuckers natural peanut butter
lettuce, cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes for salads during the week
swanson's 98% fat free white meat canned chicken
kitchen basics unsalted chicken stock
unsalted almonds/walnuts
before I went dairy free I also included non fat greek yogurt, 2% cottage cheese, mini babybel light cheese
bags of baby spinach for my smoothies
frozen broccoli, cauliflower, green beans
whatever fresh veggies look good or are on sale, last week it was asparagus, which is my favorite veggie
sometimes I pick up a rotisserie chicken for lunches/dinner during the week
93% lean ground beef and/or turkey
boneless skinless chicken breasts
pork tenderloins

I don't get all of these every week but there are the staples I like to have in the house.

Oatmeal
Eggs
Strawberries
Arnold Sandwich Thins - Whole Wheat
Eggs
Bananas
Greek yogurt
Weight Watchers Toffee Crunch ice cream bars (yum!)
Thomas Bagel Thins
Laughing Cow cheese wedges
Bell peppers
