ANOTHER HEALTHY GROCERY HAUL

I spent all of last night watching healthy grocery hauls on Tik-Tok so guess where I ended up today... hehe. Real talk- trying to eat better when you're always on the go is tricky for me. I've found having healthier options at home really helps so I'm going to start trying to plan out + have some meal ideas in advance. Also do you love grocery shopping too? I have the best time walking through the aisles! Everything came from Kroger except for those amazing, boujee a$$ cotton candy grapes and these Quinn Peanut Butter Pretzels. Fresh Market got me, ya'll. A little side note-- it's okay to unzip the "fancier" grape bags + take some out. They only had four bags left (and no scale nearby) so I just grabbed one... they were $11! Expensive but delicious.

I've been into eating salads for lunch so I thought I would try to make my own this week with some spring mix + chicken. I prefer leafier greens and a lot of texture (fruits, nuts, etc.) so I also grabbed a Modern Mill Salad Topper. It didn't make it into the picture but it has pecans, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, blueberries + cherries. Normally I would use some sort of raspberry/fruity vinaigrette with those toppings, however I wanted to try something a little healthier (and with less sugar) so I grabbed the Tessemae's Organic Creamy Avocado Ranch dressing. We'll have to see how it all goes together! Have you tried any of their dressings?

Once I get through the rest of my Ezekiel English Muffins, I'm going to make more of my yogurt parfaits for breakfast. The Oikos Triple Zero is good if you like greek yogurt- it has lots of protein + is lower in sugar than most others. I've only ever tried the vanilla so I grabbed a berry and strawberry. I also picked out two "healthier" breakfast burritos in the freezer section. I can't commit to making something every single day so hoping they will be good for something quick + easy.

Alright I need to know if you've ever tried any of these chicken burgers from Mighty Spark? The packaging + flavor combinations caught my eye. I grabbed the Bruschetta which has tomato, basil + garlic. It sounded yummy for a quick meal idea and the ingredients are pretty clean on them too.


What's on your grocery list for this week?
