"The key to healthy family eating is having a routine and everyone knowing what to expect."
Any other moms out there feel like flexing after surviving a trip to Costco with all their kids?
Yeah, me too.
After having a coaching call with my client Jessie this week and her asking me, "Monica, every time I go to the store I end up with tons of random things and unhealthy snacks...help! What do you get on the regular?" I decided to write this for her and any of you beauties who may be in a similar boat.
Disclaimer:
I do not eat 100% clean because, you know, I like to be happy... But I do believe in overall sustainable healthy eating that supports having high energy and longevity.
Here are some regular items I get from Costco (pretty much weekly) to live a fit, healthy, happy life as a busy mom:
MWH Approved Costco Haul Items:
Produce for smoothies and weekly meal prep:
-blueberries
-apples
-bananas
-carrots
-frozen fruits such as:
--pineapple
--mango
MWH TIP:
I aim to buy as much organic as possible--especially items found on the dirty dozen list. But do not stress if this isn't an option right now.
-whole grain pasta
-ground beef
-sprouted bread
-chicken breasts or thighs
-eggs
-milk
-oat milk (I love this in my coffee)
-agave (our favorite sweetener)
-black beans
-brown rice
-spinach (my go to green vegetable mostly because it's virtually tasteless)
-flaxseeds
-chia seeds (we love these in smoothies)
-oatmeal (I love how filling oatmeal is and how it attributes to those gains baby 😉💪🏽)
-olive oil or butter
-shredded cheese
-Tortilla chips (we love these with our chili)
I may be missing a few items, but you get the gist of it!
Tell me, what are some of your must have when you're a grocery shopping for your family?
And if you need any healthy, easy recipes that I make on the regular using (mainly) the above grocery items?
Then girl, you need my recipe book!
Happy eating!
