🛒🍌🥩grocery haul critique

This week’s haul scores an 8/10 because it includes plenty of:
✅ Protein-rich foods to support muscle and keep you fuller for longer.
✅ Fibre-rich foods to improve satiety and gut health.
✅ Mostly minimally processed foods that are easy to build balanced meals around.

Why not a 10/10?

Simply because it’s missing a few staples I’d normally include, like lean meats or seafood and plenty of colourful above-ground vegetables.

Remember: you don’t need a perfect trolley. You need one that ticks a few key principles:
