August 28, 2017 by Alex Johnson

One of the most common problems when starting a Mediterranean diet is wondering what exactly you’re supposed to buy.

Cooking healthy meals is easier if you stock your cupboards with staples common to many Mediterranean dishes.

This shopping list will show what your basic options are for a Mediterranean diet shopping list whilst keeping things as straightforward as possible.

Mediterranean Diet Shopping List Breakdown

It is always a good idea to shop at the perimeter of the store, that’s usually where the whole foods are found.

Always try to choose the least processed option. Organic is best, but only if you can easily afford it.

  • Vegetables: Carrots, onions, broccoli, spinach, kale, garlic, etc.
  • Fruits: Apples, bananas, oranges, grapes, etc.
  • Berries: Strawberries, blueberries, etc.
  • Frozen vegetables: Choose mixes with healthy vegetables.
  • Grains: Whole grain bread, whole grain pasta, etc.
  • Legumes: Lentils, pulses, beans, etc.
  • Nuts: Almonds, walnuts, cashwes, etc.
  • Spices: pepper, turmeric, cinnamon, basil etc.
  • Fish: Salmon, sardines, mackarel, trout, shrimp etc
  • Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes.
  • Cheese.
  • Greek Yogurt.
  • Chicken.
  • Eggs (organic/free-range).
  • Extra virgin olive oil.

It is best to clear all unhealthy temptations from your home, including sodas, ice cream, candy, pastries, white bread, crackers and all sorts of processed foods.

If you only have good food in your home, you will eat good food.
