We all want to eat nutritious foods and not get caught with our hands in the chip bag, lol! But sometimes our cravings get the best of us, we lack a plan, or worse, we show up to the grocery store HANGRY.

Grocery shopping can be really overwhelming... but it doesn’t have to be! We work with clients to make it simple by:

1. Creating a detailed menu of what to eat for every meal and snack.

2. Providing recipes and nutrition information.

3. Giving a grocery list!

Go grab a pen and take notes, because today I’m going to give you some of my grocery shopping go-to’s, tips and secrets. If you don’t have easy access to this info, you may find yourself aimlessly wandering around the grocery store once again.

My last client who worked with Core Fit on a custom meal plan told me that cooking and eating has never been so simple. She didn’t realize eating healthy could actually taste good and leave her satisfied!

So, here is a behind-the-scenes look at what goes on my grocery list every single week to ensure we are set up for success!

Aside from spices, oatmeal and pasta, I really don’t shop the inside aisles of the store. I stick to the perimeter, (minus a few items my husband can’t let go of…)

When you plan meals, the easiest way to fill up your plate is to literally choose two carbs (yes 2 - one veggie and one starch), one protein source and one fat source for a nutrient-dense meal.

Sweet Potatoes
Yams

For seasoning your food, salt, pepper and garlic are LIFE. They go a long way. I also tend to grab cinnamon, cumin, chili powder, paprika, rosemary, cayenne, dill, basil, mint, oregano or curry to spice things up and add amazing flavor.

You will be set up for success and much more likely to meet your goals when you have these items in your house. Plus you can use a lot of these things together to make some killer combos!

If you’re looking for some guidance on how to use these foods once you get them home and into your kitchen, check out the Core Fit Meal Plans. We have two options so you can figure out what works best for your goals right now.

Don’t waste another grocery trip, wandering the aisles, aimlessly adding easy-but-unhealthy foods to your diet! There’s a better way to spend your time and money at the supermarket that will help you reach those health goals ASAP.
