Raichael's Standard Grocery List

As I mentioned in yesterday's post I have a standard list I use when I do my weekly grocery shopping. It varies a bit depending on what recipes I'm making that week but for the most part it looks the same:

• 4lbs boneless/skinless chicken breast
• 7 containers Danon Light & Fit Vanilla Greek Yogurt
• 7 containers 2% milk fat Breakstone’s cottage cheese
• 2lbs frozen broccoli spears
• 6 (32oz) containers liquid egg whites
• Joseph’s Flax Wraps
• Ingredients for my Chicken Chili
• 7 Gala apples / Bananas
• 1 box 100 calorie pack Cocoa Roasted Almonds
• 1lb Butterball Everyday Thin & Crispy turkey bacon
• 1 box low-fat Eggo Nutri-Grain waffles
• 4 Hass avocados
• 1 large spaghetti squash
• 1 container steel cut oats
• 1 box Uncle Ben’s brown rice or 1 bag of Earthly Choice quinoa
• 1 jar Skippy All-Natural PB (once a month)
• 1 jar of Heart Smart marinara sauce (in addition to the chili)
• 1 head iceberg lettuce
• 4 tomatoes on the vine
• 1 bag salt-free rice cakes (once a month)

These are my favorite, go-to items that I can mix and match to make some really delicious meals!
