21 Day Fix Grocery List

I get asked questions all the time about what a grocery list should look like. While I can't tell you to go out and buy EVERYTHING on this list, I am going to give you an idea of the general things that you are going to be using on a daily basis for the fix. The quick reference guide below really helps as well.

Proteins

So when you hit up the store stick to lean proteins like

Fish- Salmon & Tilapia

Fresh Chicken Breast

Turkey Breast

Eggs

Lean Ground Turkey

Pork Tenderloin

Flank Steak

Protein Powder

Veggie Burgers

Honestly I stay away from processed lunch meats, turkey bacon and ham slices. I know it's on the list but when it comes to clean eating and nutritional value the things I have listed above are much better options. Turkey bacon, lunch meat, and ham all are higher in sodium and can cause you to retain water.

Fruits

Apples

Pears

Berries like Strawberries, Blackberries, Raspberries

Oranges

Watermelon

Cantaloupe

Kiwi

I stayaway from bananas, mangos and grapes during the fix because they are still a good source of natural sugar but they also tend to be on the higher side. So if I do have one of those I only do 1 per day. As you get closer to your weight loss goal this becomes very important to shedding those last few pesky pounds.

Vegetables

Green Beans

Celery

Asparagus

Broccoli

Cauliflower

Spinach

Peppers

Onions

Tomaos

Squash

cucumbers

Lettuce

I also typically do not eat carrots because they are also higher in sugar. I stay away from corn as a vegetable and if I eat it then it goes into the starch category.

Complex Carbohydrates

Brown Rice

Quinoa

Oatmeal (not instant in the packet) Rolled Instant Oats

Sweet Potatoes

Red Skin potatoes

Black Beans

Pinto Beans

Couscous

Ezekiel Bread

Whole Grain Tortillas

I know that on the complex carbohydrate list there are bagels, toast, pancakes, waffles and other breads. But what I can say is this, from a nutritional standpoint even whole grain still turns to sugar in your stomach, it will not keep you full and offers little benefits. Think of food as fuel. Quinoa, sweet potatoes, ezekiel bread are great sources of whole grains that are very natural and will give you fiber, fullness and nutrients where a waffle or piece of toast is more of a filler. Again, you can pick and choose and yes it is allowed but its up to you to decide how you want your results to play out.

Blue

Unsweetened Coconut

Raw Unsalted Almonds

Raw Unsalted Cashews

Hummus

Goat Cheese

Feta Cheese

Avocado

This is definitely a category that I used to go way over! I used to eat hummus, almonds and cheese all in one day and it was totally killing my progress. I actually eliminated cheese from my diet and saw that I was less bloated and more lean during that time.

List of other ingredients that I used frequently:

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Coconut Oil

All Natural Peanut Butter, only ingredients are peanuts and a little salt.

Almond Butter

Almond Milk if you want that for your Shakeology

Chia Seeds

Sea Salt

Pepper

Chili Powder

Onion Salt

Garlic Powder

Garlic

Seltzer Water- Love the Deer Park and La Croix if you have a hard time drinking water.

Green Tea

Honey

Greek Yogurt

Cinnamon

Slivered Almonds
