Clean Eating Shopping List

For my husband and I to eat clean and real foods it really doesn't cost all that much. He isn't 100% sold on the clean/real foods idea, but he does try a lot of it! He is a man and wants his meat and potatoes-- but honestly that can be made clean as well.

Clean/Real foods are foods that are the closest to their natural state as possible. I focus on eating organic/local fruits, veggies, and honey, organic meats, cage free eggs and chicken, and do a lot of my own canning to stay away from all the added "stuff".

So here is a go-to list for when you start eating clean:


Stuff to always have in stock: Kroger and Meijer carry most products:

• Onions
• Garlic Cloves
• Potatoes
• Whole Wheat Flour
• Rye Flour
• Organic Cane Sugar
• Vanilla Extract
• Kosher Salt
• Various Herbs and Spices
• Coconut, Almond, and Olive Oil
• Salad Dressings
• Nuts
• Nut Butters
• Organic Salsa
• Dried Beans and Chickpeas
• Cans of Tuna Fish
• Whole Wheat Pasta
• Oatmeal
• Wheat Germ
• Organic Broths (veggies and chicken)
• Yeast

A Weekly-Biweekly Shopping List:

-When making this list you want to think of what foods you are going to eat that week. Duh right? Well I mean you have to stick to it as well so that you don't waste food.

• MEAT
• Whole Roasting Chicken (organic, cage free)

• Bananas
• Bag of Apples
