Dairy & Extras

These add extra protein and flavor to meals and snacks.

• Cottage cheese – High-protein and delicious with fruit or as a savory snack.

• Greek yogurt – A breakfast favorite or good as a snack.

• Liquid I.V. – Great for hydration, especially after a sweaty workout or a hot day.

Fruit

Fruits are my go-to for snacks, smoothies, and natural sweetness in meals.

• Apples – Perfect with nut butter for a snack.

• Bananas – Ideal for pre-workout energy or blended into a smoothie.

• Cuties (clementines) – Easy to grab-and-go and packed with vitamin C.

• Pineapple – Fresh and juicy for a sweet treat or added to Greek yogurt.

• Dates – Great for natural sweetness in snacks or energy bites. I will be meal prepping these into some date energy balls.

Meat & Protein

Protein is essential for building and maintaining muscle, so I always make sure to stock up.

• Chicken breasts – A lean protein for countless recipes, but I will be using it for easy lunches.

• Chicken sausage – A quick and flavorful option for breakfast or dinner. I will be meal prepping some breakfast options with this.

• Steak – Perfect for a hearty dinner, paired with potatoes and asparagus.

• Ground turkey – Lean and easy to use for tacos, meatballs, or meal prep bowls. I will be meal prepping meatballs.

Vegetables

I always start with the produce section! Fresh vegetables are a staple in my meal planning because they add fiber, vitamins, and plenty of color to my plate.

• Green beans – Perfect for roasting, steaming, or sautéing for an easy side dish. I am going to meal prep these for the week.

• Asparagus – A spring favorite that pairs well with chicken or steak.

• Salad mix – Quick and easy base for lunch or dinner.

• Potatoes – Great for roasting, mashing, or air frying as a satisfying carb source. I am going to meal prep this for the week.

• Peppers – Add crunch and sweetness to salads, stir-fries, and omelets.
