Clean Eating Grocery List

I love Tosca Reno's Eat Clean Diet! Her books and recipes are amazing! She breaks down eating to the basics! Eat food consumed in its most natural state, or close to it- REAL FOOD! (Which means nothing processed). If you haven't read her books before I highly suggest picking up one of her clean eating books!

Fruits and veggies.
Nuts, legumes, natural nut butters, nut oils. (no additives)
Whole grains like oatmeal, quinoa, brown rice.
Lean proteins. (chicken, ground turkey, fish, lean beef) Meats should be grass fed, free range! Free of chemicals and hormones.

General rule of thumb for clean eating: If your great, great grandparents didn't eat it, you shouldn't either!
