GROCERIES FOR THE WEEK (5 DAYS)
1.5 cups of nuts – any kind you like! And I generally think roasted & salted nuts are fine
10 cups Brussels sprouts

20 oz deli turkey slices
5 romaine heart bunches lettuce for lettuce wraps
5 2% Greek plain yogurts
4 cups frozen raspberries (or other berry/ fruit)
5 avocados
5 100-calorie amounts of chocolate

Note: I’ve tried to make this meal prep as EASY as possible – so every single day is the same. HOWEVER, if you’re anything like me, it’s quite boring to eat the same thing every day! Please feel free to switch out different protein sources, vegetables, and fats. Also, as with the rest this website, this information is general, not specific to you. You, personally, may need different amounts of calories, nutrients, etc.
