If you are trying to stick to a healthy eating regimen the best thing you can do for yourself is BE PREPARED! Some people like to prep the same food every day for an entire week to make sure they stick to their diet…I find that to be a little lack luster.
Instead, how about we approach the way we eat as a healthy lifestyle? You have tons of healthy food options at your fingertips and can experiment with different meals each day. With that being said, if you are not prepared you can easily fall down the rabbit hole of frozen dinners, and take out menus.
I hope my grocery haul + meal ideas helps you to stay on track. You can rearrange and add your own flair to any of the below meals, but remember stick to real whole ingredients and read labels! Below is exactly what I bought today at the market and how I will use all of these ingredients for the next 3 days to feed me and my husband.
Grocery list:
- Spinach
- Seltzer (I drink these after dinner to help curb my sugar cravings)
