December Mini Fridge!
I decided this month to show you the meal plan that goes along with my current mini fridge. I cook each meal for myself daily but you could very easily make a big batch one day and store it in individual serving tupperware for grab and go convenience. This plan is lower in calories than most people need because I want you to customize it! Add in your favorite snacks, swap out things you like less for things you enjoy more.
Your meal plan should always be something you enjoyed, filled with foods you honestly want to eat because getting healthy is a lifestyle, never a punishment. Use this as a template to customize your own! :)

Grocery shopping list for the #fall! #healthy #food #local #seasonal #list (Taken with Instagram)
Learn how to grocery shop!
How I Grocery Shop
This is my master grocery list, which means that I always have these in my pantry/fridge. I have this list saved in my phone as a note, so that when I’m in the grocery store I run through it to check if I have it all at home.
I usually buy my berries & seasonal produce at local farmer’s markets, they’re always fresher & sometimes cheaper. Also, I don’t really eat bread/grains/cereal unless it’s really good or I have no other option… I just don’t like it!What I buy all depends on season too. See seasonal chart here.
Tips:
- Always go with a list!
- Shop the perimeter! This typically contains the produce, dairy, meat, deli, and frozen section.
- Inside the “perimeter” you are more likely to stray: the candy aisle, the juice/drinks aisle, and the snacks aisle are all bad places to buy the majority of your groceries
- Look for what is on sale & stock up if it’s non-perishable
- When choosing packaged produce, look at the “Use by” date and choose the longest.
- Check all fruits & veggies for bruises, scratches, & mold. Yuck!
- Buy frozen petite peas, berries (for smoothies or baking), and bell peppers. They’re always cheaper & there isn’t much difference.
- Try to not over-buy, know how long each fruit/veggie will last & don’t waste it!
- Because produce goes off so quickly I go grocery shopping 2+ times a week. This is usually what it takes to maintain a healthy lifestyle!
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask! There is a printable list here.
