Family Healthy Grocery List To Simplify Your Diet
Weekly Grocery Haul For Busy Parents
On today’s episode of Live Lean TV, I’m sharing our family healthy grocery list, from our weekly grocery haul, to help you simplify your diet.
We get a lot of questions about our grocery list and what our family eats on a weekly basis.
Well I’m about to show you.
The healthy grocery list we used for this food haul, is especially useful for busy parents, interested in a simple, but delicious meal plan.
Lets lay out the food and take a look at what our family is eating this week.

As mentioned, since we don’t have a lot of time to go grocery shopping or prepare big meals, our goal as busy parents is to simplify our nutrition as much as we can.
I’m sure the business of life may sound familiar to you too.
The way we simplify our nutrition is by following the grocery list and meal plans from our Live Lean 20 Diet program.
Lets get into it.
Here are the ingredients from our recent grocery food haul to make all the meals from the Live Lean 20 Diet program.
Healthy Grocery List
Protein Sources:
- Canned tuna
When buying canned tuna always look at the ingredients.
The can of tuna that we purchased is from Wild Planet, and only contains: albacore tuna and sea salt.
Make sure the canned tuna you buy does not contain any preservatives or unhealthy oils.
Although we typically only eat canned tuna a few times per week, Albacore tuna is a tasty type of fish.
- Chicken breast
- Ground turkey (frozen)
- Grass fed ground beef
We use 85/15 ground beef as the fats in grass fed beef are filled with healthy CLA and omega-3s.
- Whole eggs
We love whole eggs as they are filled with protein and healthy fat.
Hard boiled eggs are also an excellent, on-the-go, high protein snack.
Healthy Fat Sources:
- Almond butter
- Raw almonds
Raw almonds make for convenient and filling snacks.
- Avocado
Condiments:
- Salsa
One thing when choosing a salsa is to pay attention to the ingredients.
Some brands of salsa contain the very unhealthy soybean oil and other nasty additives.
Always look at the ingredients of your salsa.
The brand we chose contains all organic ingredients such as, natural tomatoes, green pepper, sea salt, and a bunch of other healthy stuff.
Invest in your food, invest in your food.
- Marinara sauce
Marinara sauce is a great low calorie sauce to add flavor to your meat.
The brand we brought only has 70 calories and 4 grams of sugar for a 1/2 cup serving.
Also, when you look at the ingredients it should be primarily made up of vegetables and healthy ingredients.
Healthy Carbohydrate Sources:
- Bananas
- Apples (we choose fuji this week)
- Blueberries (we went with frozen but fresh is good too)
- Lemons
- Cauliflower
We love cauliflower because you can use it to make a lot of different low carb alternatives such as cauliflower rice and cauliflower mashed potatoes.
- Sweet potatoes
- Broccoli
- Spinach
- Onion
Here are a few commonalities with the foods on our healthy grocery list:
- Primarily one ingredient, whole foods
- High protein
- Healthy essential fats
- Unrefined, low glycemic complex carbohydrates
- Mostly organic, if it fits your budget
- Lots of vegetables
- No processed, refined, and sugary packaged food and drinks
How do you make these healthy ingredients taste delicious?
Now, you may be thinking:
- These ingredients look boring
- How do you make them taste delicious?
That’s when the recipes come into play.
We have to keep pounding that into everybody’s heads.
