Grocery Shopping Tips

Yesterday I headed out to our local grocery store to pick up a few things.  It was my first time shopping at Food Maxx in Los Banos and I was impressed.  It was clean, fully stocked and everything I needed was on the outside of the store.  

When I go grocery shopping I always have a list and my 21 Day Fix booklet in case I need to double check on something.  I don't buy processed foods, we've cut out certain snacks for Max and we strive for fresh fruits and veggies.  I know when I don't have my tools I end up buying junk food (I love gummi bears and cookies) and go over my budget.  

Also NEVER go to the grocery store hungry!  It's all bad LOL!

Here's what I purchased:

Fuji Apples - Taste good with Greek yogurt and a dash of cinnamon OR almond butter

Bananas - I always use one for my Shakeology and with my breakfast

Almond Milk

Green Beans - Will use these with the Lean Turkey

Lean Turkey - Great source of protein

Walnuts - A yummy healthy fat (Blue Container)

Strawberries - Max's favorite for breakfast

Greek Yogurt - Alex's favorite and a RED container

Carrots - GREEN container but a good snack for nursing mamas

Spinach salad - I love salads and a easy meal to create

Blueberries - Great source of antioxidants 

Sweet Potatoes - FRENCH FRIES but a healthier version 

I got all of this for $62.12 and it will last for a week.  We have a monthly budget of $200.00 for groceries.  Most of the time we stay under budget but it's nice to have the extra cushion.

For the most part we follow the 21 Day Fix guidelines - they work in our home because we are able to follow a plan with room for modifications. We been able to reach goals.  Our son Maximus is healthy.  My grandma has lost weight doing the program. I been able to follow a plan that does not affect my breast milk supply.  Many of our clients have gained success and have had a lifestyle change! 

  We've been asked to create meal plans and share what we do and all we can recommend is the 21 Day Fix!  It's more than just a meal plan - it teaches how to portion control, stay committed, follow through, prepare meals and attain achievable goals.  It's a LIFESTYLE!

I hope these grocery shopping tips help.  Have a plan and execute it!
