Today marks day 8 of the Whole 30 'diet' for me. The first week I mostly made due with what I already had on hand, and then just bought stuff as I needed throughout the week. This week I wanted to be super prepared! It was a super busy weekend, full of fun stuff, sleepovers, and I completely revamped my kitchen. My first new years resolution I'm tackling is the tornado zone I live in. De-clutter my space = de-clutter my soul. After I gutted my cupboards and refrigerator it was time to shop! Keep in mind I am shopping for a family of 4, so I did buy some things that were not whole 30 approved, which I'm not going to bother listing, and I did buy enough fruits and vegetables to feed a family for at least 1 week (the root vegetables may last longer depending how often my fiance is home)!
Shopping List:
(organic ingredients preferred, and used whenever possible)
-Gala apples (I bought 10, may need more)
-2 bunches of bananas
- 1lb bag of kiwis
-4 bags of frozen fruit (eg: raspberries, strawberries, and blueberries)
-4 lbs of carrots
-1 butternut squash
-1 acorn squash
-celery stalk
-2 lbs of bell peppers
-5 cucumbers
-2 zucchini
-broccoli
-cauliflower
-6 med. sized yams
-fresh mint, bunched
-fresh cilantro, bunched
-7 avocados
-romaine lettuce
-red leaf lettuce
-small container of spinach
-bag of lemons and limes (at least 10 total, I bagged myself)
-ginger root
-garlic
-coconut manna
-raw cashews
-sun butter
-organic butter (I buy Organic Meadows)
-6 chicken breasts
-2 wild sockeye filets
-2 rib eye steaks
-wild prawns
-4 dozen eggs
-Himalayan salt

Things I Had on Hand (found critical last week!)
-coconut flour
-hemp hearts
-hemp powder
-coconut oil
-olive oil
-balsamic vinegar
-almonds
-cacao powder
-spices (pepper, oregano, basil, cumin, curry)
This week I made 3 dozen Egg Fritattas (recipe to come) for breakfasts on the go, peeled and packed both bags of carrots, I pre-cut all the celery and cucumber for quick salad makings, cooked 3 chicken breasts for quick protein. I baked a huge tray of yams (3 decently big ones cut into cubes, that way I can weigh and measure servings as needed) great post workout fuel! During the week I drink a lot of green smoothies, eat eggs with an avocado, coconut oil-blended coffee, and salads. If I have been hungry in between meals I will munch on carrots or cucumber and cashews or sun butter. I don't often feel hungry when I am eating high fat (which is almost inevitable following a program like this)
While I was grocery shopping I started having the biggest craving for chips and salsa. so when I got home I made..
Baked Yam Chips & Guacamole preheat oven 400C
-1 med. sized yam thinly sliced
-1 tbs olive oil
-salt and pepper
Toss together and lay out on a baking sheet, bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping half way through. While the chips are cooking prepare guac
-half a ripe avocado
-1tbs fresh lime juice
-1/8 cup (small handful) of fresh cilantro (chopped)
-1 clove of garlic
-sea or Himalayan salt to taste
-pepper
-cayenne to taste
I mashed by hand with a fork, but you could use a mini food processor, voila! Serve with salsa, and garnish with cilantro (optional) Enjoy:)
