Sprouting into a Gluten-Free Grocery Wonderland: Discovering Weekly Staples and Simple Basics at Whole Foods
Hi welcome to the balance life kitchen I just did a Monday Market grocery haul from sprouts and I wanted to share a few um go-tos on what I always have in my car what my refresh looks like a few meal prep ideas as well as a healthy um some healthy recipes to get you through your week first I want to start with the.
Proteins also what saved me I was really hungry when I was grocery shopping so my little tip is to grab something that’s high protein if you eat eggs the hardboiled vital protein eggs they make organic options now I had two and it saved my life I almost went to In-N-Out and in and out always hurts my stomach it’s great for once in a while but I.
Wanted to get on track that’s I was going to the grocery store so I was able to make it through with my hardboiled eggs and I’m too lazy to ever make them so this is a great onhand snack option to have so the proteins that I have for the week is organic chicken breast definitely a tip is if you look for ones that are um cut into.
Strips the cost per pound will increase so always look at your price per pound make sure it’s just the simple um organic chicken breast it’s the less expensive way to do organic and it saves you a little it’s only like 50 cents a pound but just slicing it yourself one extra step that saves a little bit of.
Money oh with the um chicken breast so the chicken breast some ideas that I might do I think I’m going to make my Mediterranean Olive and feta baked chicken this was so good I made it at my summer launch kickoff party this weekend people loved it it was so juicy moist flavorful and really really simple and really easy basically you just bake the.
Chicken with feta olive oil um organic olives and pre-diced garlic those little jars they’re super handy I bought some to show you bake it for 40 minutes on 4:25 and it is a great recipe that on top of the quinoa salad I think that’s what I’m going to do this week I got um I love the binsky chicken sausages the red pepper flavor is my.
Favorite just a few simple ingredients organic chicken water organic red and green peppers sea salt paprika fennel black pepper and organic onions like these are examples of ingredients that you can pronounce I look for under 10 ingredients minimally processed food it is a sausage so it is processed but it is going to save me in a pinch for high.
Protein quality um options so for the turkey I got two turkey options one turkey is 98% lean and one is 93% lean so one has a little bit more fat and that one is going to be really flavorful um I can add that to for tacos and have the lean one maybe more in like a sauce or maybe mix them together.
Basically just trying to mix it up they both are great especially when you’re cooking with them and add a little bit of water it adds a lot of moisture and makes it more flavorful not so dry cuz turkey can really dry out so just be careful and mindful of that when you’re shopping for turkey meat and when you’re cooking turkey.
Meat now I have some produce I have a bunch of hummus in my fridge so I got some easy healthy snacks I got organic snap peas I got two cases of them because they’re just so good to dip this in hummus or in a homemade tziki that’s what I plan on making this week um with cocoa June the coconut yogurt dill lemon and garlic making a.
Little dairyfree vegan taziki and dipping the snap peas in there sweet potatoes these are so good they have so much vitamin A they’re really healthy for you they’re good for your SK skin I like to bake them this is my favorite carb I toss them in olive oil salt and pepper little bit of garlic powder bake them on I think 425 has been my favorite.
Cooking temperature and everything has been turning out awesome so about 425 for 40 minutes amazing I put them on salads I use them um in my turkey bowls they’re just great to have at home I also got shallots which are kind of one of my new favor things they’re little and they add so much flavor it’s.
Basically like a little garlic um I chopped these up raw I put them in a salad dressing this weekend for my summer salad it was really good A little bit of Shallot some dill olive oil salt and pepper it was great so I also like to add them in my quinoa salad so this one’s probably small this is about medium shallot I’d use like I mean.
They’re really good it really doesn’t matter but to your preference I’d say between one and one small and or one medium diced shallot toss that with a chopped red pepper feta cheese and cooked quinoa a little bit of olive oil and lemon and salt and pepper and it’s a really good quinoa salad that you can put turkey meatballs on top of or do.
Veggies on top it’s a great side dish can breast friends and bring over to summer barbecue and really easy and really healthy so happy it’s peach season this is my first time buying peaches this season eating seasoning is something that I’ve learned it really just benefits you because the food just tastes so much better I hate eating.
Berries or avocados or apples and just not fully tasting right and its full potential I’m like what is going on because we can buy things year round at our grocery stores so so I like to look at what’s in season if you pop into your uh local farmers market you’ll be able to kind of see what the summer fruits are what the fall vegetables look like.
Just keep an eye on that and um remember that things are going to taste way better when they’re peak in season so right now we’re in June look for peaches strawberries we’re in Avocado Season um there’s some more on the list and I’ll follow up with that too because I need a refresh oh Tomatoes I had the best tomatoes from the Ecology Center the.
Other day my boyfriend were like freaking out about how good it was came from organic soil regenerative agriculture soil was sourced locally and was in season and it was amazing so look for the more protein I’ve been trying to eat more protein something that I was concerned about was my skin and I thought I might.
Be sensitive to eggs but the one thing I couldn’t get rid of in my diet was Greek yogurt so I finally said goodbye to Greek yogurt and my skin has been clearing up so the only sources of dairy that I’ve been ingesting are from sheep or goat milk sheep and goat cheese are amazing and it doesn’t have lactose it’s easy to.
Digest those animals usually just eat grass and they’re not um ingested with all the antibiotics and eating GMOs and corn so from what I’ve learned and understood is that it makes me feel good doesn’t make me break out and just avoiding cow’s milk altogether now that I finally got rid of Greek yogurt which I miss every day um has been working.
Really good for my skin starting breakfast with um eggs sometimes a lazy lunch it’s great to have on hand for my eggs I always look for organic on everything that I buy um as much as possible I also look for what else is this pasture raised know there’s so many things it’s so confusing but um those are the two things that I look.
For organic bananas for protein smoothies I recently heard that you should be eating your pound of body weight in protein which is kind of ridiculous I mean it’s impossible for me right now but being mindful of what quality food I’m eating to help maintain a lean body mass is important um I recently shared that with my boyfriend.
And he’s been incorporating more protein in his diet and I swear he looks like ripped lately even his mom said something the other day so something that I guess my favorite high protein things if you start looking like one of these sausages has I remember it was a lot 12 gr of protein and one egg has six gr of protein so there you’re.
At what is that uh wait okay so this is 12 g of protein I’m pretty sure the eggs are six let me double check and I heard starting your day with 30 gr of protein within 30 minutes of waking is ideal 12 24 okay so if you have two eggs and a sausage 24 gam of protein add some.
Half an avocado on top of spinach that’s one of my favorite go-to breakfast you’re hitting about 30 gr of protein avocado is a good source of protein as well um probably adding another like four g of protein for half an avocado great breakfast spinach I’m obsessed with spinach I put this I put my turkey meat on top of spinach I put it in my.
Smoothies I’m obsessed with spinach kale sauteed kale is really really good um it’s hard to digest and to get it to taste good if you have it raw so I definitely recommended sautéing it maybe putting into an egg scramble is really really delicious broccolini I’m obsessed with.
Broccolini I’ve worked at f restaurants my entire life and we always had broccolini on the menu it was usually like a winter side dish but this roasted with salt and pepper olive oil it’s great for a seafood dish on top of like a veggie bowl with quinoa I love it strawberries I always give my berries a sniff oh it smells so good um these are.
Organic what are you from I can’t tell but strawberries are in season they smell delicious they looked ripe and great I’m going to soak these in baking soda and apple cider vinegar so they get nice and clean and I love Persian cucumbers these are great I’ve like gone back and forth with all these different type of cucumbers and.
These seem to be my favorite um I’ll skin these peel them dice them put them in a salad I’m going to make homemade vegan taziki with the cocoa June so these Dy stuff with this Dill lemon and garlic should be really good for a topping with my maybe I’ll make turkey meatballs I don’t know I love getting all these basic Foundation options and.
You can make so many different things with them so I was mentioning earlier I got chicken to make this chicken my Mediterranean chicken dish so I got two jars of olives and minced garlic make sure that the olives are pitted so I got the pitted organic green.
Olives and pitted GRE colam colada olives and make sure that these are marinated and healthy things not seed oils not all that crap um so read your ingredient labels minced garlic I just grabbed this okay has citric acid in it which I usually try to avoid but in a pinch pre- Cho garlic is really nice to have so I’m.
Trying a new red sauce I also thought that making chicken parmesan with some chicken this week would be really nice my boyfriend loves it doing um just chicken breadcrumbs I like to use Pinko it’s really nice and light or a gluten-free breadcrumb this is a Dave’s organic spicy heirloom non gimo pasta sauce I.
Haven’t tried it yet but it looked like a clean option to have I always like to store um some marinaras on hand if I want to feel creative or my I’m having a pasta craving you know whatever it might be my favorite the only um the only milk that I’ll drink is almond milk from Mal um I like the.
Vanilla one I use it for my matches or if I have an ice latte at home if I have a smoothie I know it gets expensive but these are the only things that I trust I tried califia organic almond milk and it was so chunky it was disgusting and I’ve gotten a lot of rancid ones um I think they just don’t really know how to do it.
Yet because M has been on the market and califia’s has great milk options but when they tried to do organic like I don’t think that they had the recipe right might be better now but maybe 6 months to a year ago it was just awful so I’ve never had a bad experience with MK um vanilla I got four of those cuz I go through them like crazy if I’m going.
To eat that much of something it needs to be really good quality I got a bunch of cocoa Junes because my boyfriend just started being obsessed with them and again I miss my Greek yogurt but this is my substitute that I’m trying I put a little bit of Spirulina on top which is a detoxifier almonds a little bit of honey.
And then depending I’ve been learning more about seed cycling for women in your hor hormones basically in your different Cycles you should be or in your different hormone Cycles I don’t know the right way to say it in the different cycles that your body goes through throughout the month there’s a few different phases so.
Depending on that it might be better to add more pumpkin seeds to your diet I like pumpkin seeds because they’re antiparasitic um adding flax seed which are high in testosterone might boost your testosterone chia seeds I believe it’s correlated to boosting your estrogen so if you’re low in one hormone looking at the right seed in your cycle.
To add to your yogurt so I’ve been trying to be more mindful of that to put as my topping Alex ice cream I know I said that I’m lemoning cow’s milk this actually is the last thing in my diet that I should be limiting um but having a little sweet treat I’m in that time in my cycle where I really craving something sweet and a high quality these.
Are regenerate agriculture high quality the highest quality Dairy that you can get it’s too and it’s organic so if you are going to do dairy make sure it is very high quality again it’s getting away from the antibiotics that cows are ingested with having something that’s easier to to digest and I’ve noticed because if I do buy Alex ice cream I eat.
It very quickly it hasn’t been making me break out it hasn’t been giving me a stomach ache and I’m saying this based on experience and I’ve eaten a lot of these so I’m really excited because this time I finally didn’t get my favorite chocolate triple chocolate fudge or whatever the chocolate one is I always have vanilla in here because my.
Boyfriend loves the vanilla one but I found three different new flavors that I haven’t tried yet and I’m really excited so there’s we’re going to do a little date tonight we’re going to do a little Alex taste testing in our new renovated backyard so we’re trying Maya lemon cookie honey blueberry lavender and mint chocolate chip so.
That’s my halul stay posted for some easy recipes this week and maybe a little meal prep let me know what else you want to see from me and looking forward to seeing you all soon bye
