A Week in the Life

A Week in My Paleo Life: Late April

By Monica Bravo Leave a Comment

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.

My past week has been great! In Louisiana, the sun is out and I am finally getting a good dose of Vitamin D. My latest cravings for broccoli and sweet potatoes have not ceased, and my wallet is not complaining. Although I usually meal prep regularly, lately I’ve had some free time and consequently have made 3 trips Whole Foods in just this week. Yes, it’s a guilty pleasure, and WF makes everyone happy.
