Vegan Shopping List

by lilla on July 5, 2009

As many of you already know, I’ve followed the Turbulence Training (TT) exercise program in the past. It’s really quite good, especially if you don’t have access to a gym and are limited on workout equipment because most of the exercises involve just bodyweight.

Anyway, the personal trainer who developed TT, Craig Ballantyne has recently gone vegan! Yep, that’s right - a serious exercise professional who doesn’t believe chicken breasts, eggs and whey are necessary to be fit and muscular. He published his shopping list on his blog - check it out below:

“Here’s my vegetarian grocery list that I shop with twice per week…

  • 2 pints blueberries
  • 6 bananas
  • 6 red delicious apples
  • 6 pears
  • 2 grapefruit
  • 1 watermelon
  • 2 bunches broccoli
  • 2 red peppers
  • 1 orange pepper
  • 1 yellow pepper
  • 1 green pepper
  • 2 avocados
  • mushrooms
  • bag of baby spinach
  • quinoa
  • wild rice
  • oat groats (i soak these for 24 hours and eat them raw with berries)
  • barley
  • 1 jar sugar free tomato sauce
  • 2 containers hummus
  • 2 boxes almond milk (vanilla)
  • 2 boxes almond milk (unsweetened)
  • 2 cans black beans (low sodium if possible)
  • 2 cans kidney beans (low sodium if possible)
  • 2 cans Amy’s organic chili”

Sounds pretty good, Craig!

Personally, I prefer to make my own tomato sauce, hummus, almond milk, etc., but this is GREAT list if you don’t have time or want to prepare those items yourself. Back in the States, I used to be addicted to Almond Breeze Unsweetened Chocolate Milk - soooo good with a dash of stevia. Yummm - kind of glad I can’t get it here in Oz. That way I have to make my own - fresh and activated.

  • Hi Lilla,
    If you don't mind me asking, how much does your shopping trip usually end up costing?

    Hi Ashley!
    This is Craig Ballantyne's shopping list, not mine. I tend to make daily
    trips to the market and I 'm not sure how much it all comes out to weekly -
    maybe around $12/day or $84/ week-ish? :)

    Thanx for telling me about Craig. Didn´t know that. Love seeing what he eats. Sounds so good! Are you doing ok? Haven´t seen you on the Shred, but that´s easy...so many people.
    Hugs,
    Lynda

    Hiya Lynda!
    Yes, I'm doing great! My internet time is limited so haven't been in the Sphere as much as I would like. :(
    Suz and I were talking about setting up a chat with you and Debbie in the lounge. What do you think?
