Hey Bombshells!
As you know, I’ve been on my healthy living kick for a while. In fact, I’ve been on it so much that I can honestly say it’s turned into more of a lifestyle now. Of course I have little slip-ups here and there, but overall I make much better choices when I eat. I could probably do a week’s worth of posts on healthy eating alone (which I may just do in the near future lol). However for today’s post I decided to focus on what the components of a healthy grocery list look like. So many people want to make healthier meals, but just don’t know where to start. These are just basics that you can use to make countless dishes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.
Vegetables
Spinach, mixed salad greens, onions (yellow and red), mushrooms, bell pepper (red, yellow, green), asparagus, tomato, broccoli, green beans (fresh), carrots, cucumber, avocado

It is easier if you plan your meals at the beginning of the week, therefore you aren’t frantically trying to figure out what you’re going to eat when you come home from work and are dog-tired and hungry. The bulk of your meal should consist mostly of veggies, with a side of protein and a side of grains. Please note that I don’t have sugar or butter listed. Your food and veggies can be prepared using extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), coconut oil and/or cooking spray. You can get your sugar fix from fresh fruit or using vanilla extract and/or a small amount of maple syrup in your food.
