hello and welcome to another keto low carb and diabetic friendly grocery haul a little bit of information before I get started just in case you’ve never seen one of my grocery hauls in the past first I go to several different stores in my area and that’s for a couple of reasons I’m looking for the best deal and I’m also looking for new low carb products so that I can try those out and share them with you but the good news is I do section the Halls up so you’ll know exactly what products came from what store second I’m going to include prices for you third this is more of a question but what happened with bacon prices this past month let’s take a moment of silence for all the bacon I’m not going to be buying until price goes back down I’m gonna miss it I’ll be back at the end of the video so we can go over a few things but for now let me show you what I picked up this week [Music] let’s start out with the Walmart haul I found two new drinks both of these are limited time flavors the first one is the limited edition flavor y 3000 zero sugar by Coca-Cola the only ones they had were the mini cans so I got a case of those there are 10 in here and each one is 7.
5 ounces this drink was created with AI technology and is supposed to let you know what future drinks might taste like basically in the year 3000 as far as nutritional information everything is zero except for sodium and that’s going to be 35 milligrams it was five dollars and 88 cents the other new drink was Mountain Dew zero sugar mystery flavored Voodoo this is Mountain Dew’s version of a Halloween themed drink this is their fifth year with the voodoo flavor I got the case of 12 cans nutritional information again everything zero except for sodium and this one has 50 milligrams the Mountain Dew zero sugar Voodoo was 4.
98 we go through a lot of cheese in this house so I picked up the massive two pound bag of Great Value Fiesta blend it is a mixture of different cheeses 7.48 Daisy sour cream pure and natural this is the 14 ounce squeeze tube 2.
68 Great Value sliced provolone cheese I like to pick up the thinly sliced its net weight is 7.6 ounces okay hold on a second that’s not right let me pull up my Walmart app and check something out this has changed remember we talked about shrinkflation the current provolone cheese that it shows on Walmart’s website is the Great Value sliced provolone eight ounce and it says 19 thin slices the one that I just picked up net weight has went down to 7.
6 ounces but somehow the slices went up to 21. price did stay the same it was 2.22 but that was some sneaky work they got going on there Great Value drink enhancers picked up two of the grape flavored these are the 3.
11 fluid ounce 3.96 each and for those of you that are wondering about nutritional information and ingredients here it is in case you want to pause I got two packages of the Hormel turkey pepperonis five ounce bag these packages are 3.
94 each and they’re over in the refrigerated section they were doing quite a few markdowns in the beef section while we were there so I picked up two I got a package of the 9010 ground beef it is the 16 ounce or one pound tube oh beef 5.

Clean Eating does NOT have to be complicated. Simple whole food recipes with everyday ingredients available at any grocery store, and no more than 1 hour of standing in the kitchen for the whole day.
The old saying “we are what we eat” couldn’t be more true. We don’t want to be fast, cheap or fake, right? When you focus on preparing meals almost entirely from scratch, your body and mind will thank you.
My goal is to help you choose consistency over perfection when it comes to cooking. My Clean Eating Meal Plan is an amazing place to start. Meet all your nutritional needs in a delicious way and enjoy cooking!
How to start a Clean Eating Diet
1. Include a lot of healthy whole foods in your diet.
If you are currently on a diet full of highly processed foods containing large amounts of refined sugar and sodium, don’t start by excluding anything in your diet, but rather by INCLUDING a lot of healthy whole foods.
Go to the grocery store and first fill your cart with all the things you want to include in your diet that will nourish your body.
Buy tons of vegetables, a lot of fruit, a reasonable amount of protein, and healthy carbohydrates. You will most likely reduce the amount of processed food in your cart by 80% simply because your cart is already full.
2. Meal Plan.
Meal planning is key for successful grocery shopping. You will not only buy the ingredients you need, avoid food waste AND save money! But you’ll also spend way less time wandering around the aisles with the chance of grabbing some junk food.
Before going to the store, go with a plan. Write down the recipes for the days you want to plan ahead for and make a list of the ingredients.
Plan ahead your meals from breakfast to bedtime. Some people like to plan day by day and include their cravings for certain foods or deals of the day in the store. Others like to plan out the whole week. Do whatever works best for you, but write it down on a list and bring it to the store with you.
Buy all the things your clean eating meal plan calls for. Only then, when you have all of it in your cart, if you can’t help it, then go down the junk food aisle.
3. Choose easy recipes.
Go for recipes that don’t take longer than 30 minutes to prepare. Over time, you will feel more confident and might want to try more complicated recipes. But first, keep it simple. It will help you realize that cooking healthy meals from scratch is not a daunting task, and it will make it easier to continue eating healthy in the long run.
Cook ahead! Have your meals ready to eat or half prepped, ready to cook. How likely do you think you will grab a microwave dinner or go to a fast-food restaurant if you could have your delicious planned dinner instead?
Aim for only having healthy things ready to grab instead of unhealthy stuff, and you’ll automatically improve your diet.
Exactly like my 6-Week Clean Eating Mastery Program. More about that at the bottom.
Recipes for One Day of Clean Eating For Beginners
- Breakfast: Overnight oats with berries and coffee with a splash of milk.
- Lunch: Quinoa meal prep bowl with lemon dressing
- Snack: clementines
- Dinner: Chicken thighs with sweet potatoes and asparagus
How to Make:
Clean Eating Breakfast:
The simplest way to make a healthy wholesome breakfast is to take a minute the night before to prepare it.
1 . Add ¾ cups of old-fashioned rolled oats and ¾ cups of your favorite milk into an airtight container, mix with a spoon and place it in the fridge overnight. That’s it!
2. The next morning, take it out of the fridge and top it with some berries and a drizzle of maple syrup. Enjoy!
Clean Eating Lunch:
If you work outside the home, you might want to prepare your lunch the night before. But even if you work from home, having lunch prepared and waiting in the fridge is always nice isn’t it?
1. Add 1 cup of quinoa and 1 cup of water to the Instant Pot. That is the minimum necessary to get it to pressure. Then place a trivet into the pot as well and add 2 large fridge-cold eggs to it. Set the timer for just 1 minute on high pressure + full natural pressure release. I love that I can cook quinoa and hard-boiled eggs at the same time.
We will only need one egg for the lunch bowl, but since you’re cooking double the amount of quinoa, you might as well add another egg and have everything ready for a second lunch bowl for another day.
2. While the quinoa is cooking, prepare an ice bath for the eggs and set it aside.
3. Prep your veggies. Get a Lebanese cucumber, a carrot, a handful of grape or cherry tomatoes, and a small handful of parsley. Peel the carrot and then julienne or grate it. Cut the ends of your cucumber and cut it into slices. Lastly, finely chop your parsley and set it aside.
4. Prep your dressing. In a sealable jar add the juice of half a lemon, 1 Tbsp of olive oil, sea salt, and pepper to taste. Shake until well combined and place it in the fridge.
5. By now your quinoa and eggs are probably ready. Remove the eggs immediately after the safety pin dropped. Add them to the ice bath to stop them from cooking further.
6. Assemble your quinoa lunch bowl. Add half of the cooked quinoa into a sealable container, then top it with the julienned carrot, sliced cucumber, grape tomatoes and the hard-boiled egg. Sprinkle some chopped parsley on top and seal it. Place it in the fridge overnight.
7. Pour the dressing over your lunch bowl only seconds before you’re ready to eat it, and dive in!
Clean Eating Dinner:
Let’s keep it simple but still super delicious!
1. Get two skinless boneless chicken thighs and season the heck out of them. Use ½ tsp paprika, ½ oregano, ¼ chili powder ½ tsp sea salt, and black pepper to taste.
2. Rub the spices well on both sides of the chicken and set them aside.
3. Get a small sweet potato, peel it, and cut it into ½ inches slices. Make sure they are not much thicker than that or they won’t cook through.
4. Preheat a large pan over medium heat. Once it’s really hot, add a splash of avocado oil then place the chicken thighs and the sweet potato slices into the sizzling oil. Sear brown for 5 minutes on one side, flip and sear for another 5 minutes on the other side.
5. Add a handful of green asparagus to the pan and a splash of water to deglaze the bottom. Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Steam for approximately 20 minutes or until sweet potato is tender.
6. Serve the chicken thighs, sweet potatoes and asparagus on a plate, and pour the delicious pan juices all over it. It’s the best part!
How To Make Clean Eating Part Of Your Lifestyle
And there you have it! A full day of Clean Eating! Breakfast takes 1 minute to prepare the night before and another minute to top in the morning. Lunch takes 15-20 minutes to prepare, and dinner takes 40 minutes tops, of which 20 minutes require you to do nothing at all but wait.
Now, if this day sounds delicious to you and you want to make healthy clean eating a part of your lifestyle, the best way to change your eating habits is to commit to the change for at the very least 6 weeks, so it really sinks in and becomes part of your routine. You will find that later it will become an automatic daily decision. After 6 weeks of eating healthy, you feel amazing and can’t imagine eating junk food or processed food on the regular ever again.
My 6-Week Clean Eating Mastery Program is a complete “done-for-you” solution. A macro-nutritionally balanced meal plan with grocery lists and recipes all in one place so all you have to do is follow the plan and not spend any time worrying if you’re “doing it right”.
If you are finally COMMITED to turning your life around, then start TODAY!
