[@juliakalinowska2100]

@@jennifernahomi9864 yes, thank you😘

[@davidthescottishvegan]

I buy the first 7. Nut butters I find are expensive with the exception of Peanut butter so I don't buy them weekly instead I would replace with Broccoli ( My No.8) 🥝 is my No.9 and my No.10 is Frozen vegetables or berries ( it may vary week to week).

[@emiliebouchard207]

Very nice video. Suggestion: I would like to see a video with a budget grocery and balanced and cheap recipes for the week 😃 really like your ideas.

[@jodrew1845]

Hey Alicia, may I suggest that you head to Trader Joe's for your organic nut butters. I'm a New Yorker as well and I also got tired of paying $20 plus for a nut butters, they offer good quality at wonderful prices. My 10 are; 1) lemons/limes 2) arugula 3) beans or lentils 4) berry's in summer, other fruits in winter 5) olive's or sun dried tomatoes 6) rice cakes, bread or matzo 7) herbal tea 8) trail mix ingredients (I make my own) 9) plant milk 10) grain/starch

[@luciasimonton2058]

[@crystalautumnluna]

Use that vitamix to make almond butter:) way less expensive

[@jeanneamato8278]

I reuse plastic containers to start seeds. They make great mini greenhouses. Also I use them to consolidate greens and bits of other veg.

[@jacqueline2258]

No one is perfect,great video thank you.

[@kaddaxoxo]

I always buy: bananas, spinarch, zucchini, pasta (I´m a student so I eat pasta almost every night XD #sorrynotsorry ), a can of chopped/ sieved tomatoes, yogurt, salad greens, milk, bell pepper and avocado

[@Simplyquinoa]

Love it!!

[@Landnofortnitegaming]

Is there a recipe for that bowl you showed that had quinoa, sweet potatoes, broccoli, chickpeas, and a sauce? it looked amazing!

[@Simplyquinoa]

Yes! Glowing Winter Quinoa Bowls : www.simplyquinoa.com/glowing-winter-quinoa-buddha-bowls/ it is SO delicious!

[@madolynnduckwall8720]

Avocado is the first thing I fed to both my daughters. They both still love them! My 5 year old can eat a whole one plain if I let her. 😍

[@phinephilm]

Ello! Our favorites are quite similar to yours depending on the season and prices for organic. Grateful to have access to a wonderful food outlet that has lots of organic produce and dry goods. The items vary so it's best to be unattached to any shopping list and go by what looks vibrant and zippy. Green is my favorite color, especially in a vegetable. 💗😎

[@samamn5486]

Wow thank you Alyssa! Appreciate your sharing ❤

[@Simplyquinoa]

You're so welcome!

[@maggie2936-q1m]

Bananas, carrots, blueberries, beets (the golden ones are delicious!), green leafies, sweet potatoes, garlic

[@alwaysneed2learn806]

Thanks for the tips! My must-have list is quite similar although I typically rotate greens as I have a genetic condition that causes chronic pain and must be mindful of oxalates. Unfortunately, I am obsessed with Japanese sweet potatoes so I have to watch spinach intake :) I always have frozen peas on hand for vegan pesto and hummus varieties. Cauliflower is another staple... I spray with coconut aminos and throw in the air fryer. I also eat a TON of iceberg lettuce as my health issues make other greens difficult to digest unless they are completely pureed (and I love the crunch). Can't wait for the Whole Foods haul!

[@Simplyquinoa]

Those are some great staples!

[@amandawelch549]

how do u make vegan pesto out of peas?

[@alwaysneed2learn806]

@@amandawelch549 There are several varieties out there... The one I like consists of peas, basil and walnuts with lemon juice, garlic and nooch. I use recipes as "inspiration" rather than rule so I tend to get a little overzealous with my adaptations, but that's where I started ;)

[@traceycosta9196]

As always, love your videos💕

[@Simplyquinoa]

Thank you so much, Tracey!

[@charlenewagoner9523]

Good list! I buy avocados, lemons, spinach, lettuce mix, almond milk, frozen fruit, fresh fruit, cucumbers, a nut butter what ever I feel like having.

[@Simplyquinoa]

So similar!

[@cherylperkins7538]

I reuse the plastic tubs as mini greenhouse for the lettuce and mini greens i grow on my window sill. And I have many more but I would sound like a crazy oerson. My neighbor stores her yarn.

[@ellie4358]

I got 6 out of your list! Haha my other four are Fage, egg, a snack (yes) and tomatoes.

I am not a vegan yet, so the 10 things that I buy every week are: eggs, cheese, onions, apples, bananas, greens of some sort, tomatoes, fresh herbs of some sort, whole grain bread, and beans or other plant protein. Slowly moving away from animal products.

[@surlespasdondine]

That's a great list!!

I love the story of avocado :D

thanks Simply Quinoa, I love your video.

Could you do a cranberry, chickpea & pecan or walnut salad? I enjoy your videos. Thanks

[@JoyfulLivingLinda]

Really inspiring to see what you buy :)

[@koko6609]

Do you recommend frozen spinach for smoothies? Seems like it’s more cost efficient and it’s already frozen!

[@DGNNS]

Nice video !! 😊 I have approximately the same list Have you tried to buy them unpackaged?

[@1auntievenom]

Just started making my own nut butters. It is so easy in the vitamix and nuts at trader joes are pretty cheap. 7ish dollars for a lb on almonds which equals 1 lb of butter!

[@Simplyquinoa]

yes! love homemade nut butter :)

[@jumpingturnip]

Unpopular opinion : I don't like avocado. I can tolerate it in small portions as guacamole with onions and a lot of tomatoe but otherwise.. I got sick of it from eating too much lol.. now it reminds me of tree flavored butter.

[@BenjaminGessel]

Tom Selleck hates avocados as well. 😁😁😁🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑🥑

[@vanitytee0158]

I’m surprised that you don’t make your own nut butter! I’ve just started last month and I’m never buying nut butter again! So easy and less expensive to make homemade!!!

[@estherh.e.867]

I was gonna ask about quinoa... Cheers!

[@Simplyquinoa]

I think of that more as a pantry staple and isn't something I get every week!

[@gladyschristian7093]

Surprised almond butter was so expensive do you have a trader joes or an aldi near you?

[@jaycee157]

Thanks for sharing. I just happened on to your channel. I watched your video on making nut butters so don't understand why you buy nut butters.

My list is basically the same as yours 😀👍🏽

[@jillt.3195]

I eat a ton of spinach as well but I’m going to try and mix it up a bit more because Goji man and Dr. Greger have mentioned it’s high in oxalates. They recommend no more than a cup a day.😩

[@579curly]

Love your videos. What kind of bread do you use or recommend for someone with diabetes? Thanks.

[@Simplyquinoa]

Try making a paleo bread!

[@hongm_]

$20 for organic almond butter it’s absolutely crazy. Target has it for about $10 and organic almond is the only ingredients. Almonds soaks up so much pesticides, because of their high oil content, it’s always best to try to get organic almonds.

[@ainomariaaurora9748]

My staples: carrots, sauerkraut, frozen berries, broccoli and eggs

Doesn't Trader Joe's have organic nut butters for a really good price? :)

I don't shop there so I'm not sure!

-Spinach is good. Kind of... -Kale is kinda good... 🤷‍♂️😁😁 -Broccoli is def. something we need to be buying/eating on a very regular basis. Like, INSTEAD of oatmeal or bread, etc. -Sweet Potato... 🙄🙄🙄🙄 It tastes fine, but meh... -Lemons... Yep. 😁😬😁 -Apples can get a tad dull, to be honest... Its why its an off and on fruit for me, more or less, and I prob. eat less apples now than in the past. -Avocados, yep. 👍 -Tofu, tempeh, meh... -Nut butters are overrated... But I suppose they are economical, etc. -Forget the smoothie. Just eat the berries. 🤷‍♂️ You must be a vegan, or at least a vegetarian... 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@lebogangsekwati6222]

Why did God punish me with palettes that cannot handle sweet potato. Whyyyyy? How can I make this better?

[@Simplyquinoa]

Try roasting it with salt, pepper, garlic and smoked paprika. It's delicious!!

I feel the same way with beets! I want to like them soooo much. I just can’t do it! xoxo
