Your Weekly Grocery List…and mine =)

As a start to being healthy as I mentioned in my previous blog, I wanted to share my weekly grocery list to go with the new rule of thumb aka new Proclamation, lol…which hereby states;

Sunday-Thursday- we eat 100% solely nutritious meals, not half assed nutritious meals we’ve been doing for some time, lol. I say Sunday-Thursday because for us personally our weekend starts on Friday, and Sunday is the beginning of the week; a great day home to get organized for the week ahead.

Friday-Saturday is reserved for eating what you want, but within limitations. I don’t even wanna say “eating what you want”…it’s more of allowing for less than 100% nutritious meals, but with a twist.

So here goes:

• Lemons for lemon water every morning an hour after rising. 
• Water (approx 6-7 gallons a week, if you’re having a cup of lemon water in the morning and 64 oz each day)  
• Bolthouse Farms Green Goodness juice 
• V8 Low Sodium 
• Almond milk (60 cal) 
• Bell Peppers-mainly Red, Yellow, Orange, Green. Mix it up however you like. 
• Broccoli 
• Cabbage 
• Cauliflower 
• Carrots 
• Cilantro 
• Cucumbers 
• Yellow Squash 
• Tomatoes 
• Sweet Potatoes 
• Snow Peas 
• Choice between bigger vegetable for Thursdays (I make thursdays our day to eat a major vegetable cooked indian-style, like Pumpkin, Spinach, Eggplant, you can do Winter Butternut Squash, or Green Squash. Be creative, do it your culture’s way, or try some other cultured recipes. 
• lean chicken breasts/thighs, or turkey your choice but breast is healthier 
• your choice of fish and seafood (no farm raised) 

For fruits you can choose what or how much you like depending on what’s in season as well. Aim for 3-5 servings of fruit per day. I personally prefer:

• bananas 
• yellow apples to eat sliced with either almond or peanut butter for a snack 
• grapes 
• pears 
• long haitian mangos 
• watermelon
