What I got at the grocery store:college edition 🍇🍓

Here is a quick Target haul as a 19 year old second year college student. Most of these items are relatively cheap and college student friendly. I like to find easy meals/snacks that I can take on the go just in case I am out in classes all day. It is important to continue to eat while you have a busy college schedule! Don’t restrict yourself because you are busy or you aren’t in your dorm, take something to go! 😁

... Read moreNavigating college life can be challenging, especially when it comes to maintaining a balanced diet. As a college student, it is crucial to have easy access to nutritious snacks and meals that can fit into a demanding schedule. A grocery haul from your local store can be a game-changer. Look for items like organic bread, fresh fruits like sweet grapes, and fun snacks such as sour strips, to keep your energy up throughout the day. When shopping, consider meal prep options that allow you to create quick meals ahead of time. Foods that require minimal preparation can significantly help during study weeks. Additionally, prioritize items rich in protein and healthy fats, which are essential for cognitive function and overall health. Don’t forget to pick up items like dips for snacks, as they can make healthy munching more enjoyable. Finding diverse food options helps keep meals exciting. Keep your meals varied and experiment with different flavors, as well. This way, eating healthy won’t feel like a chore, and you can enjoy your meals even on the busiest days. Ultimately, stock up on versatile items that offer nutritional benefits while being mindful of your budget.

💭: I use to dread going to the grocery store. All the people, the crowded aisles, and more recently the prices. Unfortunately you can’t not get groceries (we don’t have grocery delivery where I am.) one way I combated the dread was to organize my grocery list with one goal in mind. Help me get out

High protein grocery store finds
When going to the grocery store I love finding foods that are high in protein that I can mix with my meals. My favorites that I’ve found so far are: 1. High protein almond milk (for smoothies and coffee!) 2. Greek yogurt (for yogurt bowls, to add in smoothies and as a substitute for sour cream)
