Clean Eating Grocery List

When it comes to eating clean, you want to stay as natural as possible. Basically, you want to eat REAL food...nothing processed. When I first started eating clean, it felt a little overwhelming. But, then I researched some food lists and planned my meals around them. It made things so much easier!


Good rule of thumb: When choosing food, try and go with the one with the fewest ingredients.

I have found that planning out meals for the week is a huge time saver. No guessing when shopping or when at dinnertime. You already know what to make! I hope this list helps you on your next shopping trip!
