To make grocery shopping for healthy meals fun, easy and motivational you should give a designed shopping list a try. I created a shopping list for myself to help me stay focused in picking up items that are necessary for my “clean eating” meal plan. My first grocery list was something that I made with a notepad and my label maker. It was a little time consuming to create, but it really kept me focused.

In order to cut down on prep time, I then decided to go to Vistaprint and design my own shopping list. The notepads that I designed only cost about $5 each and you get 50 sheets/notepad. This really motivates me to pick up my items on time (every 3-5 days) so that I can meal prep and bring my healthy lunch and snacks to work on a daily basis.

So, now I just clip my grocery list to my agenda and go! I check off items as I pick them up. This keeps me away from any aisle with items that can sabotage my grocery trip (e.g. pastries, candy, chips, soda, etc.).
