Clean Eating Grocery List

A few years back I decided I wanted to eat clean which basically barely anything processed or packaged, no added sugars, fried foods etc. I wanted to get back to nature and feeding my body what it was meant to eat. After trying to figure out what to buy and stock up on for meals and snacks I finally came up with a basic "Clean Eating" grocery list I use each week. Some weeks I already have a few things on this list so each week tends to be just filling in the gaps.
 For instance a large container of yogurt, oatmeal, a box rice or quinoa & frozen veggies tend to keep us stocked for two weeks. So the next week I may just buy lettuce, some fruit and fresh veggies.
We don't eat many if any processed or packaged foods. I try and cook completely real food. Aside from boxes of quinoa or brown rice & containers of Greek yogurt...we buy mostly produce & lean meats. I try and buy organic where I can & when I can afford it.

Also I meal plan out my week and buy based on those amounts.

Eggs (free range & hormone free)

Chicken (thin cut breasts or boneless tenderloins)

*********************************

For meal ideas this is a general list:

I make a lot of salads and tend to meal prep the day I shop so its easy to grab and eat.
For dressing I only make my own. My recipe is super simple but delicious... its is a little bit of balsamic vinegar, whatever seasonings you like & a dash of olive oil to cut the vinegar.

*Breakfast is usually 1 or 2 eggs, a serving of oat bran/oatmeal & some fruit.

*Lunch is either left covers from dinner the night before, a healthy sandwich on gluten free bread or a salad topped with veggies, avocado & pecans.

*Dinner is usually something simple:

Chicken.... grilled in a pan with coconut oil, roasted/sautéed veggies & either whole grain/Gluten free pasta or rice or quinoa.

Ground beef or turkey such as....
--Stuffed peppers with brown rice or quinoa
--Burgers on the George Foreman grill with side of veggies and roasted potatoes
Or I try and get creative and find a fun healthy recipe on pintest.

**My recipe for
Best Roasted Veggies:
(seriously love veggies this way & pretty much only cook them this way)

*Heat oven to 400-420
*Line baking sheet with aluminum foil
*Grease sheet with olive oil to prevent veggies from sticking
*Prep veggies....dice potatoes or sweet potatoes, defrost a bit any frozen veggies or they get soggy, rinse & chop veggies etc...
*Toss your choice of veggies in large bowl with a dash of olive oil & your favorite seasonings --be careful to use I individual herbs etc...many premixed ones contain MSG :(
*Toss onto lined baking sheet, single layer
*Bake for about 15-25 mins based on your oven (ours cooks really fast)

***Great veggies to roast: potatoes, sweet potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, thick cut zucchini/squash, carrots...if you have any questions about any more just ask :)
