A Week in My Paleo Life: Late April

Busy weeks call for prepping! Today I made a trip to the grocery to get my food for the next two weeks. Although some weeks I travel to Whole Foods 2-3 times, the next two weeks I won’t make it back there.

Here’s what I bought and what I’ll use it for: 

Coconut milk: I love it in my smoothies and in my coffee. It’s a great source of healthy fats.

Frozen Berry Medley & Frozen Blueberries: These are perfect for smoothies, and I like eating the frozen blueberries plain. They taste like popsicles!

Frozen Cut Green Beans: I haven’t experimented with these yet but will probably steam them.

Frozen & Fresh Broccoli: I steam my frozen broccoli in the microwave and cook my fresh broccoli in the oven. Broccoli is my favorite!

Frozen Cauliflower: I steam these in the microwave or on the stove. Then I mash them, top with some butter, salt and pepper. Recipe here.

Ham: I love ham in my eggs for breakfast.

Apples: Perfect study snack.

Avocados: Healthy fats! Love them for breakfast or an afternoon snack.

Sweet Potatoes: I make my sweet potatoes in the microwave (6 minutes on high in a bowl of water). Then I top them with some butter and cinnamon. Recipe here.

Kombucha: Kombucha is the perfect probiotic drink.

Eggs: Perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner! And they’re fairly cheap.

Cold-Brew Coffee: Trying this out for the first time, I’ve read great reviews about it.

Bananas: Snack or for smoothies

Cashews & Pistachios: Nuts are perfect for snacking while studying. If I get nut butter I always eat it too quickly; real nuts last me longer!

Lara Bars: Fruit and nut bars. Great emergency snacks. I keep them in my backpack or purse.

Hope that helped! I also eat meat of course. I try to buy it on sale, so I have some in my freezer and take it out. This week I’ll be eating fish, chicken, and some pork loin.
