If you’ve ever left Target with $200 worth of snacks and still felt like there’s nothing to eat… same.
These are the staples I keep on hand that help me throw together real meals (with actual protein), snacks that work for me and the kids, and easy breakfast options that don’t leave me starving an hour later.
Everything here is from Target. Everything has solid macros. And every item I actually use in real life.
I’m all about easy meals these days—minimal time, minimal ingredients, minimal brain power.

My Meal Plan Tip:
When you get home from Target, plug your meal pairings directly into your Google Calendar or planner while you’re unloading groceries.
It helps make sure everything actually gets used (instead of disappearing into the fridge abyss).
