VSG Grocery List Essentials
I couldn't find the Koch so I got Barber Foods from Publix Supermarket. Walmart and Kroger only have the breaded ones.
some of these are repeats but things I always have in the house. Premier Protein shakes, Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurt, RF cheese sticks or slices, mini baby bell light, fat free reduced sodium turkey deli meat (costco), Jacks Links turkey jerky, SF popsicles, pb2, SF Deviance coffee syrups, eggs, lean protein (chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, fish)
My VSG must haves:
- Jack Link's Turkey Jerky
- Weigh****chers Chicken Breast Tenderloins
- Large Cooked Shrimp (peeled-deveined)
- All Whites-Liquid Egg Whites
- Hormel Turkey Pepperoni
- Jenni O Lean Ground Turkey
- RF String Cheese
- Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage Crumbles
- Dannon Light & Fit Greek Blueberry Yogurt
- Jay Robb Protein Powders (chocolate or vanilla)
- Quest Bars
- Almond Breeze SF Vanilla Almond Milk
Campbell's Tuscan White Bean and Chicken soup
Manischewitz soups - these are dry ingredients to add to water - I like the Minestrone, to which I've added chicken and green beans
Frigo low fat string cheese
PB2 - powdered peanut butter
Canned tuna
Eggs - be careful here. I like to poach them, or lightly scramble. If you overcook them they can be hard to eat for some people.
Dannon Light and Fit Greek Yogurt
Non-fat milk (I really like Vanilla Almond Milk better, but it only has 1 gram of protein)
Non-fat cottage cheese
Plain Greek yoghurt
2x protein yoghurt cups (50 calories, 8 grams protein)
Home cooked cooked pinto beans (crockpot overnight, salt to taste)
Premier shakes
Syntrax vanilla, chocolate and cappuccino (I have others, but use those the most)
Dry milk powder
Unsweetened almond milk (cuts the sweetness of the shake powders)
Wide variety of kcups for my Keurig
Herb tea
String cheese
Deli cold cuts (tastier than the blister pack ones)
Berries
Frozen veg
Hi Lo cereal
Oatmeal
Canned pumpkin (for pumpkin custard)
Eggs
Ground turkey
Boneless, skinless chicken breast
Salmon
Canned tuna
Hummus
Baby carrots, snap peas, cauliflower, celery, peppers (snacks)
Peanut flour (PB2 without the added sugar and salt)
High protein flax bread (kept in the freezer, since I only eat 1-2 slices a week)
Flax meal (we prefer the roasted kind from Costco)
Peanut butter
Cashew butter
Almond butter
Butter
The last few things are because I need to increase my fat intake a little. I'd have avocados as well if I knew how to tell when they're ripe.
