MINI HEALTHYISH GROCERY HAUL | 7.11.25

TGIF, ya'll. WHAT A WEEK it has been. What a random grocery haul this is! Things are go go go right now which basically means we're eating what we're eating. The main priorities are still higher protein and trying to maintain some type of calorie deficit. In an attempt to curb my morning Starbies habit, I bought a few packs of these Artisan Kitchen Egg Bites from Publix which I'm happy to report are all still unopened in the fridge. Lol. On the one hand- it would be healthier both physically and fiscally to cut her out. On the flip side, is it really worth giving up to save a few extra dollar for less sleep and all my time and sanity??? The dilemma of first world problems, ya'll. 

On a real note- ya'll know I'm being silly but for whatever reason me and mornings have never been besties which has always made it feel like a chore to prep/eat breakfast at home. I'm sure doing some type of meal prep would help but they have made it a little too easy for me with the mobile pickup. I have a strong appreciation for being able to save a little extra time in the mornings plus it gives me something to look forward to before the work day starts. Ya gotta love the little things in life, even if we'll never financially recover from those d*mn $5 coffees! 

Regular eggs, deli meat + cheeses are always in my grocery hauls. I have to keep it simple for lunch and despite the controversy, you can't really beat the protein/calories of meat and cheese roll-ups. They're yummy, easy to throw together and have lots of protein for low calories. Sometimes I'll make a wrap or sandwich too. Lately I've been trying the Hero Bagels which are insane when it comes to nutrition and ingredients. Each one is only 130 calories with 19g of protein and 21g of fiber. That's actually crazy and they taste pretty good too. They're different from normal bagels- they have a little more of a bread-like texture but I like them and they're super versatile. Great for mini pizza too! 

Strawberries were on sale, I needed butter and the rest is pretty much random! I always have a few outliers from the BOGO deals- I've been wanting to try this Noosa yogurt and anytime Reese's go on sale, I snag a pack. That's pretty much it for this week- super random and just some things to supplement what I already have. 

Hope you have the best weekend! - xx.

HEALTHY GROCERY HAUL | 4.30.25

Hi you guys! This week's grocery agenda is adding in more protein while still aiming for a calorie deficit. It's probably no surprise I tend to keep the staples consistent (eggs, produce, deli meat, bread, etc.) so a lot of this week's haul is the same old, same old. Ya'll know I had to hit up the good ole Publix too and while I resisted most of the BOGOs this week, one I couldn't pass up was the Hero Bread and Tortillas! These are my fave fave fave- the nutrition is great, they're made with clean ingredients + still taste really good. The only downside is the price, womp womp. They're definitely worth the splurge in my book though and every once in awhile, we get lucky and can snag them for half off at Publix! 

I always try to stock up so I grabbed a few loaves of the Seeded Bread and a few packs of the Tortillas! If you can't find in store, you can also order them online here. Love this variety pack! 

I also want to get a little more creative with upping my protein so I bought into the cottage cheese craze. I doubt you'll catch me eating it as is but I'm OK with the idea of blending it in with something, lol. Maybe with eggs or a sauce?? We will definitely see, hah. 

I also grabbed a few bags of Quest chips and the Barebells Protein bars in Salty Peanut + Chocolate Dough.

WEEKLY PUBLIX HAUL | 4.16.25

Welcome back to another weekly Publix Haul, ya'lllllll. They really did the d*mn thing this week with these Easter BOGOs. I was tempted by at least another 5-10 items from the sale but if you don't buy it, you won't eat it haha. Other than blacking out in the baking aisle for cookie mix, *most* things are on the healthy spectrum and actual food I can eat (aka not just snackies).

It's also always a good time when you can find staples on sale- this week that was all of the produce + greek yogurt. I'm an Oikos girl but since Chobani was on sale, we'll give it a go. I also love a good easy peasy salad mix for dinner. The Pear Gorgonzola one is very good if you like a fruity salad vibe. I haven't tried the Truffle Caesar before but I don't think I've ever regretted trying anything with truffle. 

My impulse buys of the day were the Savannah Bee Honeys- I grabbed the Honey for Cheese and the Whipped Honey with Cinnamon. PS- if you like hot honey, their's is so bomb. 

Alright the cookie biz is what we call MODERATION. Sometimes you just need a lil' sweet treat, you know? Also putting Reese's in peanut butter cookies is ALWAYS the move- trust!

WEEKLY PUBLIX HAUL | 4.2.25

Welcome back to a lil' random Publix haul this week. I've been avoiding Publix like the plague lately because every time I step foot in there, I always end up impulse buying fifty bucks worth of snacks and only one or two actual "food I can cook" items. They always get me with those d*mn BOGOs... iykyk I guess. That's pretty much what happened this week too- they lured me back in with false promises of a party size bag of Wavy Lays chips. Despite the chip devastation, I didn't leave empty handed (listen to me talking like I ever have, LOL), so in the hopes of one day earning back my $33 in ad revenue, here's a little haulie haul for ya. 😜

I did actually go in with a list this time which helped me buy more actual food and just a few snackies. This week's BOGOs had some Italian vibes going which we always love. I love the Buitoni fresh pastas so I always grab a few of them whenever on sale. I was also feeling a Carbone spicy rigatoni vibe so I grabbed some rigatoni pasta and this Spicy Vodka sauce from Botticelli. Also for whatever reason, I always want to buy Ricotta cheese whenever they put it on BOGO?? I never actually buy it but I always have grand envisions of using it in a recipe. What recipe that will be is up in the air right now but for once I actually bought some, haha. During the winter I wanted to try out a lasagna soup but this hot weather kind of kills my soup mood. 

The last few things were some protein staples and green beans. I also indulged a bit with some ice cream and these Cinnabon swirl masterpieces. I couldn't resist, ya'll. I've wanted to try them before and because they are *only* 270 calories versus like 800, I figured why the hell not? Sounds like a nice little weekend breakfast treat, lol. We'll see if they're any good! I also have a long term love affair going with the Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Bean. It's exceptionally good and definitely the best in the game that I've tried. You can usually find it on BOGO every couple of weeks so I like to grab a pint every so often. Delish!

HEALTHY GROCERY HAUL | 3.12.25

Okay we're back on this lovely Wednesday with another semi-healthy focused grocery haul. I'm always the first to admit when I fall off the wagon which unfortunately happens all too often... after my birthday week and Valentine's Day, it was pretty much balls to the walls on eating everything I wanted. This week we're getting back on some disciplinary action and like with most things, ya gotta put your money where your mouth is (quite literally in this case, no??). Hehe- jokes aside, not having healthy food options at home is pretty much a recipe for disaster with clean eating. I was stuck in this endless cycle of "I'm getting back on the healthy train tomorrow" which just kept going and going and going. I kept thinking WHY can't I get out of this and then I realized like with everything else, spending money would solve all of my problems.

Lol- in reality I *should* be saving by eating at home versus ordering takeout but my grocery bills might beg to differ on that, these prices are still wacky as hell. It isssss what it isssss (and it's not good!!) -lol.

Okay this is kind of a recap of where I started in January but sticking to what works, works! As of now, I've learned I have to keep breakfast and lunch easy peasy if I'm going to eat healthier at home. I bought some eggs to try and kick my current Starbucks habit but keeping it totally real- I'm not too motivated on giving that up just yet. I can moderate my calories pretty well, plus it's something I look forward to that helps get me out the door in the mornings. They've also ruined me with the convenience of mobile ordering- I order as I'm leaving the house and by the time I arrive, it's always waiting on the counter for me. Consciously I know I need to dial it back a bit so maybe I'll aim to replace 1-2 of the days with eating at home. 

The lunch plan that works for me is some type of deli meat + cheese with greek yogurt. It seems to be the easiest meal for me to get higher protein in with lower calories. I'm pretty sure I recapped all of this in my last grocery haul but I like to do the Oikos Greek Yogurt with some variation of meat/cheese roll-ups or a wrap/sandwich. I love these Hero Tortillas or this Hero Seeded Bread for that! Worth the splurge- great nutrition/ingredients + yummy.

We love a protein/potato/veggie dinner but I actually had some new ideas for this week. I found a Baked Mozzarella Tomato Chicken recipe that I want to try out so I grabbed the essentials for it and originally planned to also try the viral TikTok ground beef/sweet potato bowl (it's ground beef cooked with taco seasoning, cubed sweet potatoes, cottage cheese, avo + hot honey on top!), however it's getting pushed to the future. I ordered a new bottle of Mike's which hasn't come yet and they were sold out of cottage cheese so TBD on that. I also ended up finding chicken drumsticks on sale so we love an improv. I'll probably use my fave Greek seasoning for them- it's so easy and is great on chicken with a little lemon and EVOO. 

Everyone did us a solid this week by putting all of the Yasso items on BOGO which I can never pass up and then you've always got a few stragglers, ya know? Mine this week is the Catalina Crunch Snack Mix (on BOGO at Publix!) plus two different breads which is rando, lol.

HEALTHY GROCERY HAUL | 1.17.25

I'm officially back in the groove with healthier eating, ya'll. One of my January goals has been to dial it back a bit on the snackies/junk food/sugar + to up my daily protein intake. This week I also started tracking my calories to cut back with a small deficit. After indulging over the holidays, it feels good to start a new routine and eat cleaner. 

It's always an adjustment to go from eating whatever you want to being a little more restrictive. I love food and all the yummy things! Once you can get into a consistent routine, though, it becomes so much easier. For me, planning out meals I like to eat but that also fit within my goals makes it manageable. Keeping things simple is also key. If you can focus on what you like (and will realistically eat) and stick with it, it's pretty fool-proof. 

Actually having the food you want to eat on hand helps too, lol. Because you all seem to really like my foodie content, here's my mini "healthyish" haul of the week. I mostly grabbed some staples for lunches + dinners at home. I will make breakfast at home some too, however most days I'm running out the door and it's just easier to order something out. I'm not a morning person so I like that I can mobile order when I leave the house and my order is usually ready by the time I get there. I usually stick to egg bites + coffee- it doesn't totally blow up my nutrition for the day and I still feel like I'm indulging a bit! 

Most of lunch has been yogurt parfaits + deli meat/cheese. Deli meat is always a controversy but it's easy peasy and packs a big punch for high protein + lower calories. I like to do roll-ups or throw it in some Hero Bread or a Hero tortilla. I also like to add this peanut butter powder in to my yogurt for some extra protein! Dinner is the typical protein, veggies + carb combo. Most of this week that has been Italian grilled chicken, baby potatoes and French green beans. I've also gotten a little more snackie in the evenings from eating less so I picked up a bag of my fave Lesser Evil popcorn. It's seriously so good + a great healthy snack. My two favorites are the Himalayan Gold + Himalayan Sweetness. It tastes great, has healthy ingredients and is a lower calorie/higher volume snack so you can eat quite a bit without killing your calories.

HEALTHY GROCERY HAUL | 1.3.25

It's time to jump on the healthy train, ya'll. After way too much indulging during the holidays, I'm excited to jump start the new year with eating a little bit cleaner and re-centering my health and fitness. Ya'll know I always preach "everything in moderation" which hasn't changed, however I am making an active choice to eat more protein + veggies while cutting back on sugar + snackies. 

It's also better for me to focus more on being consistent versus going overkill. Extreme diet changes aren't usually sustainable so I like to find a balance between eating the good things and allowing myself to still enjoy treats. 

Having New Year's Day in the middle of the week is kind of a weird setup for starting off with new goals + habits. I definitely took advantage of my last few hurrahs this week before switching to a new mindset yesterday. Since it's a shorter week, I just picked up a few staples.

Eggs, a breakfast protein, greek yogurt + some type of berries always in my healthy food lineup. They make breakfasts and lunches easy and no fuss. You can also never go wrong with the gym bro meal for lunch + dinner, haha. This week I grabbed some chicken for dinner with baby potatoes and green beans. So easy to pop in the air fryer, healthy + delish! 

Ya'll already know my love for Hero bread, too. It's so good and very healthy with high protein, high fiber + lower calories. I also love that it has good ingredients-- that can be hard to find in healthier options that also still taste delicious. I love the seeded bread and the tortillas. I use them for breakfast, lunch, dinner and even snacks. The toast with peanut butter is one of my favorite snacks for lower calorie with a little extra protein. It's a splurge and not available in all grocery stores, however you can order it online here. Both are also linked in my the "Snackies" section of my storefront here. You can also buy variety pack bundles to try out a mix of their different products. I want to try the croissants and the Hawaiian rolls soon!

END OF THE WEEK SNACKIES | PUBLIX HAUL

My love for Publix BOGOs has struck again- this week with all the snackies + junk food. Aunt Flo also stopped in for a visit and is clearly a bad influence, lol. Lately I've been on a peanut butter cookie kick and dying to try out this new recipe-- looks so bomb if you like Butterfingers. You can always count on Publix to do a BOGO on Peter Pan so I picked up a new jar for the cookies. Sometimes you also just need a little quickie so it's always good to have Betty around- easy peasy, lemon squeezy. 

I'm also fully embracing the summertime s'mores vibes. I just saw a recipe for air fryer s'mores yesterday so walking by the s'mores endcap was really a full circle moment. With the 4th coming up, everything was on sale so we grabbed all of the classics + an extra pack of Reese's for good measure. Add in my rogue box of honey bunches and that sums up my very wild Friday night, hehe. 

What's your go-to snack?

HEALTHYISH GROCERY HAUL | 5.22.24

Alright, ya'll. I have a little midweek grocery haul to share which was inspired by a healthy chicken salad recipe I've been wanting to make. I found a greek yogurt based recipe that's less calories + higher in protein for a little lunch vibe this week. Most of today's haul is centered around that (celery, grapes, onion, lemon, chicken, parsley), however I do have a few extra goodies too. 

I'm focusing on lowering my daily calories and trying to make better food choices overall. Obviously I couldn't leave without bread and ya'll know I'm still obsessed with the Hero Seeded Bread. It's just so so good, super nutritious with low calories and higher protein. I like to have it on hand for breakfasts + lunches and this visit I saw my Publix also has the Hero Tortillas now!! I've been wanting to try these out and spoiler alert- they're just as good. Definitely hit up Publix if you have one- if not, you can order any of their products here. Definitely 10/10s. 

Ya'll know it's still all about balance for me so I also grabbed some Rana pastas + a sauce during the BOGO sale. Fresh, cheese-filled pasta is definitely the best kind IMO. I haven't tried their sauce before but we'll give it a whirl. My last few goodies are some arugula for wraps, strawberries + apples! What are you making this week?

A MID-WEEK GROCERY RUN | 5.1.24

This week's grocery haul is super random-- just a few necessities + a few snackies. To know me is to know my Diet Coke obsession. It's an addiction, ya'll, which means when there's a deal on drinks, I'm buying. I've also been having some serious fruit cravings lately. I definitely feel like it has something to do with this hot weather... I planned to stock up but the only thing that was looking good were the Honeycrisp apples. I'm also on the hunt for a whole organic pineapple which seems hard to find?  

I may have gotten a little over zealous on the bread this week but I can't go without the Hero bread now. Still a 10/10 on all fronts- good for you + tasty. You can also buy it online here which is also awesome. I also really like the izzio Sourdough and I saw they now offer it in a whole loaf! The last few times I purchased, it was a half loaf for the same price. Was just too good of a buy to pass up so they'll just be taking turns! 

For lunches I grabbed some deli meat + cheese which just keeps things easy. I love a good sandwich and besides the controversy on deli meat itself, it's pretty lean in calories + higher in protein. I also love the Two Good smoothies- Strawberry Banana is the best flavor! 

The last few things are some hash browns, Siete Cookies (have you tried this flavor? I'm excited to!) and Chipwich Ice Cream Sandwiches.

HEALTHYISH SNACK HAUL | 4.24.24

My munchie drawer was in desperate need of some sprucing so I went on a little snack spree this evening. I loveee a good snack haul, especially with some healthy finds. It still has to taste good though! Healthy doesn't always translate to tasty but if I'm gonna eat it, it better taste good. With a little trial and error, we've found a few gems over the years. Today's haul is a mix of some faves + newbies. 

We'll start with the one thing that isn't a snack in today's haul, although arguably it very well can (and probably should be)- eggies. Funny enough, I watched a TikTok earlier recommending eggs as an afternoon snack, lol. Definitely a great option but I tend to save mine for meals + Fresh Market had a great deal on the Vital Farms 18-count. Always a staple for me and I like to grab them when they're on sale! 

Alright, on to the goodies. This whole thing started because I saw (once again thanks to TT) that Siete has a new Strawberries & Cream cookie out. I love both the Wedding and Mexican Shortbread cookies so I had to try. I also snagged a new bag of the Little Secrets Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Wafers which are delicious + something new- French Squirrel Peanut Butter Stuffed Dates. Despite all the healthy dessert recipes I've seen with dates, I've only ever had them in a regular date bar. It's giving healthy snickers vibe so I'm intrigued. 

To stay salty, two more rebuys I always love are the Quinn Peanut Butter Filled Pretzels and some classic Mini Pretzels from The Fresh Market line. I've also been having a bit of a beverage moment and recently tried this Grape Good Mood Soda from Rowdy Mermaid. I was a little skeptical since these are lower in sugar and on the healthier side, however they actually taste great. I personally liked the Grape flavor and that they have ashwagandha so I can calm the f*ck down. Lol. 

Okay, I might have lied- the last few things are also walking the line between breakfast and snack. I'd even go so far to say more dessert snack for these Evergreen Peanut Butter & Banana waffles. I haven't tried these before but the packaging + extra protein grabbed my attention. They also have a Carrot Cake Zucchini flavor that sounds good too! Greek yogurt is on constant rotation for breakfast, lunch and snacks. I also love a drinkable yogurt/smoothie vibe so these Pillars yogurts look interesting. They're drinkable with no added sugar, pre & probiotics, 20g of protein per bottle and 100 calories each. It's also a pretty good size at 12 ounces. If they taste as good as the Too Good Smoothies, they'll be a major win for the amount of protein + calories. 

What's your go-to snack?

BREAKFAST GROCERIES HAUL | 3.27.24

Alright, ya'll. I've been slipping a bit on eating healthier breakfasts at home these past few weeks. Despite a few too many coffee runs, I think I'm starting to find a good balance + moderation with my meals. I've tried to ease my way in by to cutting back on calories and some of the unhealthier foods I tend to indulge in. My goal has been to make more mindful decisions while still allowing myself to indulge a little bit here and there. I also try to go for higher protein options, less super carby/high fat options + less empty calorie foods. When I do indulge, I also play a little bit of pick a side where I'll skip out on one thing for something else later on. I'm always an "everything in moderation" kinda gal because it's easier for me to make progress through compromise than extremity. 

Right now that might look like skipping out on chips at lunch because I already had an iced coffee with breakfast or maybe instead of chips, I'll eat something more nutritional like pistachios or yogurt. It really just depends on the day. Some days I do great, others I could've definitely done better. I've also still consumed my fair share of sugar which I'm still working on. I have a huge sweet tooth so I always struggle here. 

To get back on my breakfast groove, I picked up some go-to's + staples. I always like to keep eggs, greek yogurt + the Two Good Smoothies in my fridge. I'm also still obsessed with the Hero Seed Bread I raved about in this post-- it's THE best. It tastes great and I love that it's low in calories, high in fiber/protein + has no sugar. 

New to me are the Three Bridges Egg Bites, Organic Valley Milk and the Applegate bacon. I tend to switch around with protein- I go through cycles with turkey sausage, ham or bacon. Bacon is a controversial one but for a healthier option, the Greenfield Natural Bacon is so yummy and cleaner than a lot of alternatives. I also trust Applegate for cleaner products so I'm excited to try their's out too. 

Butter, jam + the Pacific Valley Tater Patties are also staples in my kitchen! The hash browns are definitely a little indulgence but twelve minutes in the air fryer + a 10/10!

ANOTHER HEALTHY-ISH GROCERY HAUL | 1.5.24

Welcome back to my first healthy-ish grocery haul of 2024. Per my 2024 resolutions, I'm slowly easing my way into healthier eating this month. I've been fighting a nasty cold for the last few weeks which has been AWFUL, you guys. I've had the worst congestion and coughing, it's been rough. Since being sick, my motivation to do pretty much anything has been put on the back burner, healthy eating included. Whenever I do get sick, I'm always reminded what a blessing it is to be healthy and not sick! My main priorities these days have been resting, getting through the days and to stop coughing, lol. I think we're almost back to normal so I'm crossing my fingers next week I'll get back into the gym + start eating a little cleaner at home. In the meantime, I've been mentally going over what I want to start making + have made a few mini grocery runs. 

Today's haul is a small one with just a few essentials + a few of my favorite healthier snack options. I also found a few of these items on BOGO this week at Publix which was nice BUT I also had to go on a scavenger hunt for eggs this week which was crazy. Who knew pasture raised eggs were on everyone's grocery list for the new year?? Lol, I can't blame them! 

Alright, as far as my food goals go, the plan is to be more intentional with what I'm eating, up my protein intake, add in more fruits/veggies + limit snacks and "junk" food. Over the holidays I gave myself a lot of leeway to eat whatever I wanted. I'm always a "everything in moderation" gal but right now I could use a little sugar detox. 

DAIRY/NON-DAIRY
+ Truly Grass-fed Natural Aged Sharp Cheddar Cheese 

PROTEIN

+ Greenfield Diced Ham

+ Vital Farms Pasture Raised Eggs 

+ Rotisserie Chicken 

GRAINS/BREAD

+ The Better Bagel Classic Bagels

+ Veggies Made Great Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins 

MISCELLANEOUS 
+ Kodiak Chewy Granola Bars (S'mores + Chocolate Chip)

+ Lesser Evil Himalayan Sweetness Popcorn 

Because breakfast is always the easiest for me to prep + stay on track, I picked up all of my go-tos which includes: eggs, cheese, diced ham + these The Better Bagels which I'm excited to try. I always try to get a somewhat leaner protein for breakfast, usually this Greenfield Diced Ham (it has no yucky additives) or turkey sausage. I also love bagels but normally they're high in calories and carbs. I've been wanting to try these The Better Bagels so I picked up the classic flavor. If they taste good, they just might become my new go-to!

They're low in sugar/carbs with 160 calories + 26g of protein per bagel. If I'm in the mood for something sweet, *occasionally* I'll also have one of these Veggies Made Great muffins. Compared to regular muffins, they're also pretty low calorie but still taste great. They make great desserts too!

The rotisserie chicken was for lunch this week so everything else is just snackies. The Lesser Evil popcorn is always a go-to. It's delicious, made with clean ingredients + you get a good portion size for lower calories. I also really like the Kodiak Granola Bars. I'm not big on regular protein bars but I like the taste of these + that they have a little extra protein than regular granola bars. 

I always struggle with what to make for lunch that's healthy + quick to prep. Once I figure that out, I'll do another grocery haul with some other protein, fruits + veggies. If you have any recipe ideas, please let me know!
