keeping a consistent stock of certain key ingredients makes sticking to the plan- whatever yours may be- waaaayyy easier in the long run. already having your most-repeated snackables and meal prep elements in the fridge or pantry makes lists shorter and sweeter for weekly grocery trips, and makes quick eatz taste and feel better than some random bag of chips.
my typical plan: ginormo costco run at the beginning of the month. every one of these things that i can buy in bulk, i will so that i’m at least halfwayish ready for the days ahead. fruits, perishables, and things i consume in quantities that are hard to justify in bulk usually wind up in my weekly runs. here is what stays on repeat in my household and why:
fridge & freezer
- greek yogurt
- for quick breakfast parfaits, sauces, dairy swaps in recipes, sour cream sub, etc.
- egg whites
- scrambled egg whites on avocado toast (!!) and reg egg swaps in recipes
- fairlife milk
- for not out-growing my childhood milk drinking habits even though im lactose intolerant, and also for ninja creami recipes
- ground turkey & chicken breasts
- meal prep staples! i toss the individually wrapped packages in the freezer and put them in the fridge to defrost a few days before i’m ready to prep
pantry
- rice
- come on this is like half of my lunch diet during the week
- oats
- for overnight & baked oats, healthier desserts, and for grinding up to make oat flour to use in baking
- protein powder (diff flavors for diff vibes)
- i toss these in some of my baked good recipes, overnight oats, ninja creami, etcc
- whole wheat flour
- baking!
- olive and coconut oil
- olive for savory cases and coconut for sweet! i use for greasing pans and as oil/ fat in recipes, etc.
- honey & maple syrup
- common substitutions for sugar in “hEaLtHy” recipes. also really yummy with fruit on greek yogurt!
