My Go-To Healthy Grocery List

Hey friends! As most of you probably know, I’m in college, I live on my own, and I try to eat as healthy as I can (for the most part). When I moved to College Station and started grocery shopping for one, I made a list that I’ve stuck with and wanted to share it with you guys.

I never realized how important a grocery list was until I started going to the store alone and  always forgetting at least one thing. Before my list, I’d walk around each aisle like “uhhh why am I here again? What do I need?”

So if anything, I hope this post encourages you to make a list of your own + gives you some inspo on new items to get at the store!

Meat/fish:

  • Fish (Salmon, Halibut, any wild caught)
  • Ground turkey
  • Farm-raised eggs

Rice/main carb source:

  • White rice
  • Sweet potatoes
  • Oats
  • Gluten free bread

Veggies:

  • Brussel sprouts
  • Red onion
  • Avocado
  • Cauliflower

Fruits:

  • Blueberries
  • Bananas
  • Raspberries
  • Pink lady apples
  • Lemons

Snacks:

  • Cereal (snackimals)
  • Gluten free pretzels
  • Honeynut rice cakes
  • Greek yogurt
  • protein bars (Power Crunch, Oatmega, Gomacro bars)

I try not to keep junk food in the house because I will devour it. But if you have a sweet tooth like me, buy one chocolate bar or your fav candy and keep it somewhere hidden! Have some when you have a craving and put it back. I have to do this or I will go crazy and eat everything sweet in sight on the weekend 🙂

Drinks:

  • La Croix coconut water
  • Silk unsweetened almond milk
  • Breakfast blend black tea (Numi)
  • Orgain smooth chocolate protein shake

Oils/spreads:

  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Coconut oil
  • Peanut butter

 

I don’t always get every single thing on this list. Most of the time I only buy one or two veggies and fruits for the week, and oils/spreads last a long time (duh).

    Are you allergic to gluten or just trying to stay away from it Because of health benefits?

      Just for health benefits! Sometimes I will eat gluten, but for the most part I try to stay away from it. I tend to feel better and less bloated when I do.
