Grocery List

Hi everyone! I am currently planning a big grocery shop {including all essentials!} and I wanted to share what was on my list! I added a few more options to the list to give you an idea of other healthy options within that category. Always check to see what items you have before going to the grocery store to avoid overbuying. Print out this grocery list and bring it with you the next time you head to the grocery store! Printable version at the end of this post.

WHY DO SOME FOODS SAY PURE OR RAW?

Foods like peanut butter, almond butter, and honey are listed as “pure” or “raw.” Regular peanut butters/honey can be packed with salts and other unhealthy additives. Avoid these!

Nuts and seeds are marked “raw” because you want to avoid the salted and seasoned nuts and seeds; same with dried fruits! Look for fully raw dried fruits, nuts, and seeds. These options are normally in the “health food” or organic aisles at the grocery store. Buying them in bulk is normally the cheapest.
