Normally, I am a fan of Jimbo’s, Sprouts Farmer’s Market or Trader Joe’s, but when I am in a bind I’ll settle for Ralph’s. When my friend, Brittany, recommended that I share my personal picks from a regular grocery store chain, I got excited!
I try & tackle my grocery shopping after I’ve eaten, otherwise I end up buying way toooo much food. My personal favorite in the cart? Jalapeño hummus [ which goes perf with Belgian Endive lettuce instead of chips ].
Lauryn’s Grocery Store List
- + Pirate’s Veggie Booty
- + Light butter with canola oil by Land’s O’Lakes
- + Heineken Light beer
- + Horizon organic non-fat milk and/or Rice Milk
- + Greek yogurt 0%
- + Ezekiel low sodium bread and/or Oasis bread
- + Gluten-free Bisquick pancake mix
- + Sunflower seed buter [ just like peanut butter ]
- + Jalapeño hummus
- + Ready Snack Packs: pretzels, light cheese, grapes & hummus
- + Strawberries
- + A mini watermelon
- + Blueberries
- + Raspberries
- + Organic apples
- + Bananas
- + Baby carrots
- + Baby spinach leaves
- + Broccoli
- + An array of bell peppers
- + Pouilly-Fuissé white wine [ a must try! ]
- + Perrier grapefruit sparkling water
- + Smart waters
- + Mighty Leaf green tea tropical
- + Simply Orange juice w/ vitamin D & calcium
Cucumbers, carrots and bell peppers go perfectly with hummus as well. Your grocery list is almost identical to mine sans bananas, pancake mix and bread. If you’re looking for a low cal nut butter, try better n’butter peanut butter from Trader Joes (they have a low sodium version).
You’re right! Yum! Thank you for your recommendations- I’ll have to try that : ).
