After returning with groceries the other day, I thought…
“Why not pop it up on the blog?“
So I did!
I thought it might be useful to see a glimpse of what I normally buy for vegan groceries. Some days it’s a big produce shop, other days it’s picking up more staples or some of our favorite vegan products. This shop was mostly produce, but still some vegan food goodies to highlight.
Below I’ve detailed the groceries, as well as links to the products and recipes…
Produce
organic romaine, organic seedless grapes, organic kale, organic green beans, organic spinach, cara cara oranges (not organic), organic golden delicious apples, organic spuds, yellow/golden kiwi (not organic), yellow sweet spuds, organic cauliflower, bananas, butternut squash
Pantry Staples
* Ground White Chia Seeds –> I get asked about this A LOT! I think it’s harder to find in the US than in Canada. (True?) I bought this at Winners/HomeSense in Canada. I did find a link on amazon.com for the ground, in a Nutiva combo.
*Canned Chickpeas
*Organic San-J Reduced Sodium Tamari
Fridge/Freezer Staples
*Happy Planet Soups –> see this post for meal ideas!
*Breads (scored on special, here are )
Treats
*So Delicious Coconut Nog (this is sweet, helps to cut it with plain dairy-free milk)
*Sweets Sweets candy Halloween package
*So Delicious Sugar-Free Vanilla Ice Cream (I also sometimes buy the cashew ice creams. Just sometimes.) 😉
So guys, did this video give you any ideas? Would you like more of these? I’ll try to become more savvy with the vids. x Dreena

Thanks Dreena…really enjoyed your post and the spontaneous nature of the video. My husband and I are no oil, plant-based ‘starchivores’ and have no trouble finding delicious meal ideas. Feeding our kids and grandkids when they visit though…..challenge of the year. Hearing what your kids eat and how you amend recipes to appeal to their palates always gives me good ideas. Love what you do and love your cookbooks.

Loved the video, thanks! And I would especially love to try your new recipe for brussels sprouts, when you’re ready to share… that’s one veggie my family doesn’t really like (truth is, I don’t usually like them either!!).

As a working mom of three young kids, I am always looking for any info related to feeding growing kids, time management, etc. I have and love your PPF book (the White Bean Guac is on our regular lunch rotation, the kids love it!!), so I’ll welcome posts like this or anything else about weekly routines. It is really time-consuming for me to do the menu planning, grocery shopping, cooking, clean-up, and still actually enjoy my kids. Probably not an uncommon issue 🙂 Thanks for all the incredible work you do!

I’ve never seen So Delicious Sugar-Free ice cream. What is it sweetened with? Right now my husband will only eat the Ben & Jerry’s.

Our produce staples are a little different, but otherwise we have exceptionally similar shops! :o)
