How I grocery shop to reach my goals! 🍌🥬🥔🍪

Heres my grocery haul coming back from a week trip away! I needed to stock back up on my necessities and this is what stocking my kitchen back up from Costco looks like.

-PROTEIN I usually go for 2-3 protein sources and being a pescatarian, I chose fish for most of them.

-FRUIT I keep fruit on hand for many reasons. They’re a great carb source, easy to grab on the go and something sweet to snack to subside sugary cravings so I typically grab 2-4 types of fruit.

-VEGGIES/CARBS I usually choose 1-2 carb sources for my main meals so something like rice, potatoes or quinoa are things I usually go to along with 1-2 vegetables for on the side of my main dishes.

-FATS/MISC. I don’t usually eat cheese but I do like to make salads and quesadillas so I keep it on hand for these things along with butter for cooking (I use this in such small amounts and its better for you than most processed oils and cooking sprays).

I try to follow the 80/20 rule when shopping so this means 80% clean Whole Foods and 20% of whatever else I want so there’s balance.

Happy shopping!

... Read moreWhen grocery shopping, especially at Costco, it's important to strategize to ensure you're getting the most out of your haul. Pescatarians can focus on sustainable protein sources such as wild-caught tuna and salmon, while also incorporating a variety of fruits like strawberries and bananas. Fruits are excellent for quick snacks and packing in nutrients on the go. Include a mix of veggies and carbs for balanced meals—think about staples like potatoes, rice, and quinoa paired with fresh greens such as organic spring mix or asparagus. These options not only add flavor but also ensure you're getting key vitamins and minerals. Don't forget about healthy fats! Items like butter, used sparingly, can enhance flavor in your meals without compromising health, particularly when avoiding processed oils. The 80/20 rule is a great guideline: aim for 80% clean whole foods and allow yourself a 20% margin for those indulgent treats like cookies or dark chocolate. By following these tips and being intentional about your grocery selections, you can enjoy nutritious meals without sacrificing your taste preferences or cravings. Happy shopping and here's to making healthy eating easier!
