A Vegetarian-Friendly Shopping List
A vegetarian diet typically omits meat, poultry and fish. However, some vary in which foods are included or excluded. For example, some include dairy, eggs and cheeses made with vegetarian rennet, while others don’t. All nourishing vegetarian diets start with fresh produce, whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds. Fill your basket with these items:
- Rainbow of fruits and vegetables
- Whole grains
- Nuts and seeds
- Beans and legumes
- Soy products such as tempeh and tofu and other non-soy meat substitutes
- Eggs and dairy products (if you choose to eat them)
- Extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil and other nut oils
- Nutritional yeast
