Getting groceries on weekends is one of my favorite things to do! It sounds silly but I enjoy being prepared for the week ahead and having some extra time on weekends to make some yummy healthy meals. It’s fun!
Below I’ve put together a basic shopping list that you can feel good about buying. Each item is broken down into categories so that you know which macros you are taking in. Then you can prepare some fun healthy meals for the week.
