My High-Protein Grocery List

Eating high-protein might sound like a gym bro diet, but after a few years of eating protein-forward, I can promise you that I’ve never felt more in tune with my hunger, more in control of my dietary choices, and more confident in my body. Strength training also has a part to play in why I’ve never felt better, and you can join me doing my signature strength workouts in any of my gym-based guides.

The key to eating high-protein, as with any goal, is to plan ahead. Stocking your fridge and pantry with high quality, nutrient dense, and protein-forward meals will undoubtedly make it easier for you to get your protein in.

Sharing my high-protein, whole-food diet grocery staples below!

PROTEINS

Grass-fed Organic Ground Beef (I always prep this for the week with Siete Taco Seasoning, and it’s my go-to protein source when I’m starving or don’t feel like making a full meal).
Organic Ground Turkey, which is great to have on hand for so many of my recipes
Organic Spicy Italian Chicken Sausages (Whole Foods 365 Brand)
Pasture-Raised Eggs
Wild-Caught Cod (I usually get this from Butcher Box)
Turkey or Chicken Deli Meat (I love to make sandwiches or eat with crackers and cheese)
Protein Powder – I have a high-protein smoothie every single morning, and I also love making this high-protein fro-yo (you must try!). Click here for the blog post on my favorite protein powders + discount codes.
