WEEK 25
Week 25 Grocery List (For Substitutions See bottom of Post)
This grocery list is for my wife & I (Hopefully based on shopping last week you have a better idea about the quantity you need for your family) **Changes from Last Week’s Grocery List are Highlighted in Red** ** Please note that many of these items you still may have from LAST week’s list. Example: Salad Dressing. Only replace items you no longer have. No need to buy more if you still have some. **
Fruits:
1 bananas
2 containers fresh blueberries
1-2 containers fresh raspberries
1 container of fresh strawberries
Vegetables:
2 16 oz containers of sliced mushrooms (we will be using almost a full container for the chicken pizzas. If you don’t like mushrooms you can omit this)

1-2 Red Onions
1 small bunch of cauliflower
2-3 bunches of romaine lettuce
Meats:
Salmon (Fresh or Frozen or ANY kind of fish- between my wife and I we will be using 4 small filets)
Turkey Lunch Meat (We will be using more lunch meat then usual as we’ll be using it as “snacks” some days too)
10 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (small size- If you’re buying larger ones you can reduce this amount)

5 oz. of pepperoni

1 small container of garlic powder
1 small container reduced sodium soy sauce
1 small container sesame oil
1 small container ginger
7-9 garlic cloves
1 small jar red pepper flakes
1 large jar pizza sauce (You can switch this up and do some pizza’s with pesto sauce or low-sugar BBQ sauce if you’d like)
Snacks:
Almonds (Many brands make different flavored almonds like sea salt, chile lime, etc. Any flavors are fine)
Protein Bars (LOW CARB/SUGAR, HIGH FIBER BARS. Be careful on this one to review the nutritional facts on the back of the box. Many protein bars have high sugar content. Right now my wife and I use Quest Protein Bar)

Unsweetened Almond Milk
Zero Calorie Butter Spray

Packets of naturally sweetened lemonade or strawberry lemonade flavored powder
1 can Pumpkin Puree
1 container of cinnamon

Substitutes and/or Further Recommendations
Feel free to substitute the fruits for other fruits you enjoy more: ie. Peaches, pears, etc. However, you will need the bananas for the spinach shake.
Feel free to substitute the vegetables for different vegetables you (or your family) prefer. Also, if cost is a huge issue and you don’t feel like you can afford fresh vegetables then buy frozen. It’s better to have frozen vegetables then none at all, though it’s always preferred to steam vegetables when possible).
If it’s necessary for you to eat processed carbs stay away from ones with: High Sugar, Sodium, and saturated fats. SO STAY AWAY FROM THOSE THREE S’s!!!
Try to drink enough WATER so that you have at least one clear urination a day
Prepare your meals in ADVANCE! I cannot stress this enough. I will discuss this is greater detail starting day one on my journey back to Fit. This will help you save TIME and better prepare you to avoid bad eating habits.

** Please remember you do NOT have to use the supplements that my wife and I are using above. People asked we include this in the grocery list so that they see what supplements we’re using in advance of the day we’re using them. Supplements can be found here!
