10 Things On My Grocery List Every Week

My main goal when starting this blog was to help others see how easy it is to be vegetarian! Each Tuesday I share with you the things I have learned eating vegetarian meals, cooking vegetarian meals, and feeding my family.  Look at us! Healthy + productive, happily logging in lots and lots of plant-powered miles each week.  We are not hungry or protein deficient or bored of our meatless meals! Grocery shopping (especially for new vegetarians) can be so overwhelming. So today let’s go behind the scenes and get the shopping hacks that I use to make eating + living vegetarian so easy!

These are the 10 things that you will find in my grocery cart every week that I have found keep us healthy and fit into our budget.  I can always find different ways to use these 10 things combined with other pantry + freezer staples to keep our meals nutritious + delicious + fun!

Apples

  • Primarily organic honey crisp apples but that does change now and then. One apple for every day of the week for everyone in my home. Yes, that’s a lot of apples (depending on how many MVF teenagers are home from college at the time). Why are apples make it to on my top 10 list of things on my grocery list? Fiber + vitamins + they are (in my opinion) one of the best low-calorie-density foods on the planet. Curious about calorie density?

  • My favorite ways to use apples: eat them as is or dice them up in your breakfast bowl or salad! Fennel Apple Salad with (No) Honey Mustard DressingApple Cinnamon Granola Recipe.

Cinnamon Oat Milk | My Vegetarian Family #homemadeveganmilk #dairyfree #milkalternative #oatmilk

Oat Milk

  • Every kitchen needs a ‘milk’ product.  We choose to exclusively use plant-based milks.  My top choice is Oat Milk (we use Oatly).  Every single week you will find this in my cart.  Be careful when choosing a dairy-free alternative milk.  Lots of them are loaded with oils and fillers. Check this out: How To Choose A Dairy-Free Milk Alternative.
  • My favorite ways to use Oat Milk: for cereal, to bake with, to drink, in my coffee, to make homemade icing.

 

 

 

 

Don’t Forget!

I use these 10 fresh things on my grocery list every week in conjunction with the pantry staples I keep stocked up on such as rice, pastas, condiments, and dry beans.  I also use frozen fruits + vegetables to combine with these 10 items to make complete meals. Check out these guides to see how: What’s In My PantryGuide To Cooking Recipe-Free Meatless MealsGuide To Frozen Vegetables (Myths + Methods!).

 

 

I hope this helps you on your plant-based journey! Stay healthy, fam!

All the best,

Tara 💚
