A HEALTHYISH PUBLIX GROCERY HAUL

Are you still keeping up with your 2023 New Year's resolutions? We are one week down already! One of mine is to work on eating a little bit healthier/cleaner and at home more. My lifestyle has always been centered on mostly eating out for meals, especially during the holidays when my schedule is busier. Now that things have calmed down a little, I'm looking for easy things I can make for breakfast and lunches. I struggle a lot of the times to come up with ideas for one person that don't involve meal prepping the same thing for five days in a row. 

I also think it's important to work on building sustainable change so I'm starting small with how often I eat at home + the types of food. Always a fan of everything in moderation! I did a little Sunday night Publix run and grabbed a few things for this week. We'll call it a semi-healthy haul? Here's what I picked up: 

THE GOODS

+ TERIYAKI CHICKEN BREAST 

+ GREEK YOGURT
+ HONEY BUTTER
+ ORGANIC BLUEBERRIES
+ SPINDRIFT SPARKLING WATER
+ MINI BAGELS
+ SUPER COFFEE
+ HONEY CINNAMON PEANUT BUTTER

Usually for a leaner breakfast I like to make some version of eggs + turkey sausage. Occasionally I'll add in some carbs too, usually a slice of sourdough. I also love bagels but they can be pretty calorie heavy when I'm trying to moderate so I grabbed these Thomas mini bagels. Can we talk about HOW CUTE they are?! Adorableeeeee, I'm obsessed. I also remember eating them as a kid, hahahah! Usually I just buy the plain for at home but cinni raisin was calling my name this time!

For some other breakfast/lunchie options I grabbed Greek yogurt, organic blueberries, peanut butter and an iced coffee. The Oikos Triple Zero is my favorite Greek yogurt-- it has a higher protein content, no added sugar and I like how it tastes. I love the Mixed Berry flavor + also grabbed Strawberry Banana to try. Danielle on Tik-Tok also influenced me on the RX Honey Cinnamon PB! I'm excited to try it with the bagels or on bananas. Any chance you've tried Super Coffee before? This was a total impulse buy that looks really good. I love iced coffee + it has zero added sugar, 10g of protein, MCT oil and is only 70 calories per bottle. Not bad! 

Alright, lunch is typically where I struggle. I thought this week I would try out a chicken/rice/veggie vibe so I picked up Teriyaki marinated chicken breasts that you can just pop into the oven or cook in a pan. I already have rice and sweet potatoes (will use the honey butter on them!) so hopefully it will be a quick + easy lunch. The Spindrift purchase is my attempt to kick my Diet Coke habit?? TBH I don't know if I ever see myself giving it up completely but I would definitely benefit from cutting back some. I'm well aware of the negatives + I think part of it for me is having something carbonated and fizzy. I'm telling myself that at least, lol. I've never been a big fan of regular flavored water but I'm willing to give the sparkling a go. I was attracted to Spindrift because it has minimal ingredients + seems cleaner than some of the other options. I'll report back how it is! 

If you have any go-to meals or recipes that aren't too complicated to whip up during the work week, please send them my way!!
