Grocery haul | Healthy lunch/snack

So I went to the Supermarket today because I had a day off work and I fancied to be all healthy and get all my ingredients from my salad I make and a couple extras. After my blog post of the salad I thought I'd show you exactly the stuff I buy & prices. 

I usually go to Morrison's because it's closer to where I live and I don't have to walk all through the town center and see people, yes very unsociable I know haha. Firstly I get the lettuce which is iceberg and I like to buy the twin pack for multiple meals and it's all nicely chopped, washed and ready, it costs £1.09p. Then I have my mixed olives with feta, all included in one because I'm lazy and can't be bothered to buy 2 separate jars of the two types of olives and then the feta cheese which I'd have to chop but in this pack it's already cut for me, this costs £1.59p. I like to have crunch included other than the lettuce so I have garlic croutons which are 60p or 2 for £1. And I need to have dressing with my salad so I get Caesar dressing which costs £1. All together my salad costs £4.28, I think that's nice and affordable for a meal that serves more than once.

I also bought a couple extras as well which is the melon duo packet for a snack in the day, you know to stick to the healthy theme of my salad, it cost £2 or 2 for £3. Lastly I got some lemons which cost 99p. I have a blog post that will be what I use the lemons for, I will post it either tonight or tomorrow, depending on if I'm busy later.

I hope you enjoyed this little haul of my healthy kick and I'm sorry my posts haven't been a lot or not much beauty yet but there will be, I have so many on my reminders to do so stay tuned for many beauty posts.

My favourite quick & healthy(ish) meal

My diet isn't very healthy, I admit that and I hate how unhealthy I am with my diet. But I live at my boyfriends' house which he still lives with his parents and I got in the habit where I just buy my boyfriend and I snacks such a crisp, popcorn, sweets, chocolate and not forgetting the many fizzy drinks. I pretty much hate juice and water is boring, I only like to drink it from a bottle if I do have it. 

Back to when I was at college I was very good with drinking water I had a water bottle and just refilled it with normal cold tap water and I'd drink a lot on a daily basis, but that's just gone out the window now. I love fruit and vegetables but obviously where I live with my boyfriends' family, if I bought stuff like that they would need to be in the refrigerator or kitchen which results in them getting eaten by others, so my boyfriend and I would hardly get a chance to eat what we bought that's why I buy snacks where they're okay to be stored in our room. When my boyfriend and I have our own house, trust me on this my kitchen will be full of fruit and vegetables, all that healthy stuff. I'd even have a blender so I can make loads of healthy smoothies.. mmmmm I can't wait to move out whenever that be, hopefully within 5 years. I'm only 20 so I got plenty of time and having a house is a big responsibility and shouldn't be rushed.

Now on to my salad which is why I'm writing this post! 

Mmmmmm look how yummy that looks though, and I'm eating it while writing this blog post. Gobble, gobble, munch, munch, nom, nom!

When I have a taste to be healthy there is one quick and easy meal I ALWAYS turn to and that's a salad that contains iceberg crunchy lettuce, mixed olives, feta cheese and croutons with caeser salad dressing on top. My family and friends all aren't very good with a healthy diet and they're always like "how can you eat a salad with no meat?!" I don't think the salad needs meat, for me the olives fill in for the meat and I prefer them.

I came across making this salad when the Supermarket where I work had a ready made Greek salad that had all what I put in mine, minus the caeser dressing. It had a different dressing but I don't know what it was. Anyway one day they took that salad off the shelves which didn't go very well for me as I loved eating it. So I decided to make it myself and as I love caeser wraps I thought I'd put caeser sauce over all the ingredients that was originally in my Greek salad I always bought and that's when I fell in love. HAHA!

The reason why the blog title says it's healthy(ish) is because it depends how crazy you go with the dressing as the calories will add up, even without the sauce it's yummy but I like to add a little more flavor.

If you don't like salads because they're too 'plain' try this one, it's honestly so yummy and filling, well after I chase it down with some chopped fruit, mainly my favorite melon! If you do try this out, let me know how you liked it on my social media site, linked at the end of every blog post and at the top of my blog.
