If you’re here I am guessing that you have decided you want to go (or are contemplating going) Vegetarian or Vegan oooooor eat less meat in your diet … now what? Well, now it is time to shop! You may or may not enjoy grocery shopping, I honestly find it to be a hobby and so it is super fun for me (I know, I am weird) … BUT whether you are someone who loves grocery shopping or someone who wants to get in and out of the grocery store as quick as possible here is a “Meatless Must-Haves Grocery List” for you.

I am going to share my little cheat sheet! The picture above is NOT all the food on the list, it is also not the heaaalthiest haul, it is simply a picture of a random grocery haul I recently had. Now, you may only like some of the things I list, you may like all of them, I am just sharing my own faves and staples. Tweak the list, try some foods, and find your own preferences! 🙂

I would be lost without them.

So there we have it! Hopefully this meatless must-haves grocery list is helpful in your meatless journey! ♥
