Hi everyone, just had this idea of creating a healthy grocery list with all of your ideas and experiences! I will start by sharing some items I usually buy when shopping for food and you can share yours? What do you think? Ok, here are my suggestions:
OATS - Basic but still brilliant in any healthy grocery list
BOUILLON - A (low sodium) vegetable bouillon powder or liquid can be an asset when cooking rice, soups, stews and more. It gives a good flavour easily and might diminish you need for adding extra salt! Plus, when you run out of food you can always snack on it as a hot drink/soup in a cup.
DRIED APRICOTS – Nice sweet snack to have for moments of craving. Also a fruit that can actually be forgotten on the cupboard without going off quickly. You can also chop it and add to other food preparations like bread, rice, desserts and salads.
SUNFLOWER SEEDS - Lovely crunchy thing to have as a healthy snack. You can also use it for as a finishing touch in many dishes, and it is not as expensive as pine nuts!
TURMERIC - This yellow/orange powder actually doesn't have much taste, BUT it has many potential health benefits and the colour can lift many boring dishes. You can add it to the hummus, bread, rice, soup...

If you are having a salad, mix in Raw white cabbage for a real crunchy effect and nutritionally great
This food is very low in Saturated Fat and Cholesterol. It is also a good source of Thiamin, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus and Potassium, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, Vitamin B6, Folate and Manganese.
I love making an easy guacamole (avocado, lemon juice, garlic and cayenne or chopped chillies and a few coriander sprigs) and put on seeded Ryvita for a quick and delicious lunch.
Wholemeal rice, wholemeal pasta, brown sugar (only for baking), wholemeal bread, wholemeal pitta/tortillas-can be freezed,buckweat, red/green lentils - these can be kept in the cupboards, so you can always make a meal if you have some vegetables and meat in the fridge.
For snacking carrot sticks, celery sticks, cucumber sticks, radishes and houmus to dip them in and ice cold water to accompany and make us feel full without many xalories. Also helps skin become more clear.
Slimming world haribo, don't do slimming world but my friend does and I stole the receipe from her. Keeps sugar sweet cravings at bay. All you need is jelly, geletaine and yogurt. Lovely. X
