My grocery list has acquired the same growth mindset I have, over the years.
The cart was once overflowing with frozen dinners, Oreos, cereal, and processed meats. Now it fills with things that entice the mind, body, and spirit. Here’s a glimpse into my kitchen.
Greek yogurt—Chobani or Oikos, to be exact.
Chobani for creative desires and creamy goodness.
Oikos when I’m feeling disciplined and structured, for the routine mind.
Both offer a gentle sensation. Add honey and it twists your toes just enough to feel alive.
Old Fashioned Oats—or Kodiak Protein Oats when I’m not balling on a budget.
Old Fashioned because they’re bigger in diameter and don’t sog as quickly. Perfect for overnight oats.
A teaspoon of light brown sugar satisfies the taste. A drizzle of honey does the rest when sugar cravings start to clutter my mind.
Bananas.
More green than yellow—but never overpowering. Just subtly dominant.
For grab-and-go mornings. Days. Nights.
Boneless chicken breasts.
Lean. Juicy. Filling.
The essential grab.
Brown rice.
When money for food was scarce and the fridge felt like a dessert—
I learned rice is a firm foundation in a kitchen, unwavering in love.
Apparently, I don’t know how to make a list without turning it into prose.
