Chapter 7: Grocery List – Simple, Accessible, And Affordable Ingredients

This grocery list is a rough guide to healthy shopping and these ingredients are all featured in the recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Please feel free to adjust the list according to what’s in season, especially when it comes to fresh produce.

I haven’t added quantities for you, because you may be feeding one person, or you may be feeding many! So simply plan your meals for the week, figure out how many portions you will be making, and choose your quantities accordingly.

Happy shopping!
