Trainer's Grocery Lists: Alicia's List!

The start of 2013 is the start, a renewal, or a continuation of living a healthy lifestyle for many of our recruits. Today's trainer's grocery list will help with any of those resolutions! Hickam trainer Alicia Palmer has shared her typical family grocery items with us today, and we love how well-rounded and tasty her normal haul is! Have any additions or questions? Post it in the comments section! 

This is what I usually have in the house. I don't generally buy cookies or granola bars or anything like that, but I do make them for my kids. I also try to make some sort of muffins or waffles or something like that for breakfast for the week on Sunday. My kids are pretty picky eaters, but I try to make them eat as clean as I can- but they definitely do not eat like I do.

My typical meals:

Breakfast: overnight oatmeal (oats, yogurt, milk, honey, raisins, vanilla, cinnamon) and a banana

Lunch: leftovers, or peanut butter and jelly sandwich and apple

Dinner: about 80% vegetables, then some kind of protein- either meat or beans

I also get a bi-weekly fruit and veggie delivery from Kula fields.

Costco:

Tillamook Cheddar Cheese

Kirkland brand wheat bead (no high fructose corn syrup, and a deal! 2 huge loaves for 4.50)

Craisins

Some sort of trail mix, I like the dried fruit and nuts mix

Organic frozen chicken breast

Panko-coated frozen chicken breasts (the raw ones)

Any fruit/veg that is in season. Berries in the summer, clementines in the winter
