10 Day Cleanse Grocery List


Here is a bare-bones list of the things I always have on hand when I'm cleansing.  Basically, I grocery shop only for things I will be able to eat and eat all of the existing no-no items the weekend before (within reason LOL).  It's really easy to stick to the plan when you don't have anything around to taunt you!  Feel free to add items in the comments section if you have a question or think I've missed something :) While you're shopping, keep in mind that you should mainly be consuming plant based material (PRODUCE) and only small amounts of PROTEIN, DAIRY OR DAIRY SUBSTITUTES and GRAINS.  Buy mostly PRODUCE and you will have a super easy time staying on track and feeling amazing in no time.

PRODUCE:
Greens (kale, spinach, broccoli, romaine, collard greens etc.)
Carrots
Celery
Tomatoes
Yams
Cucumber
Avocado (LOTS!!  This will save you when you're craving cheese or something fatty)
Garlic
Onion
Beets
Turnips
Radishes
Apples
Pears
Bananas
Apricots
Peaches (fresh and frozen)
Berries (fresh and frozen)
Lemons

CANNED/DRY GOODS:
Tomatoes (all kinds)
Beans (all kinds)
Coconut milk (not cream)
Tuna
Dries beans (all kinds)
Brown or wild rice
Quinoa
Chia seeds
Pepitas
Nuts (any kind except peanuts)
Nut butter (any kind except peanut)
Organic apple butter ("Just Apples" brand)
Rice cakes (not rice crackers)
Organic puffed rice
Organic non-GMO puffed corn
Steel cut oats
Flax meal
Olive oil

Vegetable oil

DAIRY/DAIRY SUBSTITUTES:
Butter
Almond milk (unsweetened)
Soy milk (in great moderation.  Don't drink it if you don't need it)

PROTEIN:
***Fish (as much as you want and anything except shell fish.  Try to find wild if you can!)
**Chicken (non-medicated, free run organic\)
**Turkey (ditto)
*Pork (in great moderation)
*Beef (in great moderation)

HERBS & SPICES:
Curry powder
Curry paste (red or green)
Turmeric
Cayenne
Chili powder
Cinnamon
Paprika
Cumin
Sea salt
Pepper
Rosemary
Basil
Oregano
Thyme
Dill
Chives
Sage
And anything else you want!!

Usually I say experiment with ingredients, but while we're cleansing it's really important you stick to the meal plan and not go outside of the list of groceries and that you do not eat anything on the \DO NOT EAT list! :) You won't regret it...after the 10 days you really will feel great!
