Grocery shopping made easier: Your GLP-1 grocery list

Discover what should be on your GLP-1 grocery list and leave the overwhelm behind.

How to plan your GLP-1 grocery list

Getting your GLP-1 grocery list together can be a breeze! Focus on foods packed with protein and fiber, two fantastic nutrients for weight loss. Depending on your schedule, lifestyle, and preferences, you may want to consider picking up ready-made or partially prepared items. This way you can stay on top of your goals without stressing about constant meal prep.

15 Smart staples for your GLP-1 grocery list

1. Greek yogurt: High in protein, easy on digestion, Greek yogurt is a versatile superstar for meals or snacks. Choose non-fat or low-fat options. Low-fat will help with vitamin D absorption from fortified yogurts.
2. Cottage cheese: Follow the cottage cheese craze by choosing this high-protein, low-calorie base for dips, sauces, or other versions of your favorite foods when appetite is low. Enjoy alone or paired with fruit, vegetables, or whole-grain crackers, as well.
3. Protein shakes or ready-to-drink protein beverages: On those low-appetite days when solid food seems unappealing, grab a protein shake! Look for ones with lower sugar, at least 15-20 grams of protein, and some calcium.
4. Canned fish: This shelf-stable protein guarantees you have a high-protein snack or meal, even when you're super busy and don’t have time to cook.
5. Frozen edamame: A plant-based protein plus fiber packed in a tiny package. Mash into a dip with vegetables, make a sauce and top chicken, or munch on them alone as a powerhouse snack.
6. Tofu: Packed with protein and calcium and a neutral taste, tofu is a versatile protein that can be added to smoothies, soups, sauces, or dips. Experiment with silken, firm, extra firm, or super firm, to see what you like best.
7. Oats: For breakfast, lunch, or dinner, oats are an excellent addition to your GLP-1 grocery list. With 10 grams of protein and 8 grams of dietary fiber per half-cup of dried oats, they are a filling and nutritious addition to your GLP-1 meal plan. Plus, they’re gentle on digestion!
8. Lentils: High in both fiber and protein, lentils are easy to prepare. You can even buy canned or steamed lentils for a quick protein fix. Start with small portions if you’re sensitive to legumes or not used to eating significant amounts of fiber.
9. Chia seeds: These tiny seeds are packed with fiber, protein, and healthy fats to add a nutritional-punch to all kinds of foods.
10. Berries: Fresh or frozen, berries are a fiber-filled sweet treat to support your GLP-1 diet. Toss them on Greek yogurt or cottage cheese, add them to smoothies, or eat them straight out of the bag!
11. Bananas: Easy to digest and full of essential nutrients like magnesium, potassium, and fiber, bananas are perfect when you are feeling off from GLP-1 side effects. They are comforting and nutritious!
12. Frozen vegetables: Keep them on hand for a quick way to add color, vitamins, and fiber to your meals. Frozen vegetables are partially broken down, so they may be more tummy tolerant than raw vegetables. Plus, when picked and frozen at peak ripeness, frozen veggies can be more nutritious than fresh produce.
13. Broth: Low-sodium chicken or beef broth can provide comforting nutrition and boost fluids when your appetite is low.
14. No-sugar-added or sugar-free electrolyte packets: Electrolyte mixes help prevent dehydration, they're great when you are struggling to eat or drink anything due to low appetite, nausea, or other GLP-1 side effects. Opt for an electrolyte packet with 300-400 mg of sodium.
15. Unsweetened applesauce: A gentle, easy-to-digest carbohydrate for when you're feeling effects of low-appetite or nausea-prone days.
