Hi friends!

I thought it may be helpful to share what a typical grocery haul for a family of 5 looks like as we’re eating mostly whole-foods plant-based, plus how I use the ingredients for meals and snacks.

I keep our pantry and freezer pretty well stocked with brown rice, pasta, marinara sauce, peanut butter, bread, canned beans, frozen fruit and veggies, dried herbs and spices, oils and vinegars, etc. and I usually buy a lot of those at Costco or Trader Joe’s. So this is a typical haul for weekly produce. I’ve been loving shopping at Sprouts Farmers Markets because they have a really big selection of produce, organic produce and items made from high-quality ingredients.

The Meal Plan

Here’s what this week’s meals looked like:

  • Breakfast: Smoothies, Peanut Butter Chia Oatmeal, scrambled eggs with veggies or Kodiak pancakes are always in rotation.
  • Lunch: Leftovers from dinner or a Rainbow Sandwich with all the veggies
  • Snacks: Fruit and nuts are my go-to
  • Dinners: While our breakfasts and lunches are similar every week, our dinners are always changing. For this week our dinners included Simply Real Health’s Veggie and Turkey Polenta, a Mediterranean Salad with roasted chickpeas, a Vegan Taco Salad (recipe coming soon!), a leftover night, Pinto Bean Pizzas and a pasta night with veggies.
