Health Grocery List

Here is a list of things I almost always have in my pantry/fridge... These options are:

•  Healthy
• College-student-budget friendly
• Delicious 
• You can make so many different things out of them (sandwiches, salads, wraps, breakfast burritos, dinner burritos, omelettes, desserts, etc. etc.)

Refrigerated Section 

Spinach

Almond milk

Sandwich meat

OPI greek yogurt salad dressing

Thinly sliced provolone 

Fat free cheddar cheese

Eggs (sometimes I'll buy the egg white containers)

Veggies & fruits:

• Apples
• Bananas
• Zuchinni
• Butternut Squash
• Carrots
• Tomatoes
• Avocados
• Grapes (freeze them and they become addicting - I got my mom HOOKED 😉)

Hummus

Greek yogurt (non-fat)

Frozen Section

Pre-cooked grilled chicken

Frozen fruit (for smoothies)
Frozen fish (Salmon, Shrimp, Cod etc)

Not Refrigerated or Frozen Section

Spinach & herb wrap 
45-calorie wheat bread

Lightly salted Almonds 

Oats (not the pre-flavored kind) (trust me... just throw honey, cinnamon and chopped apples on and it becomes AMAZING - my fav comfort food**)

Honey

Peanut Butter

PB2 Powder

Stevia sweetener 

Cocoa Powder

Dark Chocolate Chips (a must)

Tuna Lite (In water)

Crackers (shoot for multi-grain, low-fat, lightly salted, low sodium etc.)

Chewy 25% reduced sugar granola bars

Kind Bars

Lightly salted rice cakes 

***I always look for the LIGHT versions (less sodium, low-fat, less calories, wheat, etc) (I very often look like a total nerd cuz I spend so much time comparing each different food label) 😆  

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

***Quick Caveat: Sometimes if food claims to be "low-sugar", "low-sodium", "low-fat" it is often neglecting other nutrients. For example a "low-sugar" food item could have a higher fat content than normal to compensate for the taste. It might seem complicated, but this is a process that will begin to make so much sense once you start paying attention! Promise!
