✨ Glow-Up Grocery List: Foods That Changed My Body
Let’s be honest — the real glow-up doesn’t start in your makeup bag. It starts in your grocery cart.
When I started being intentional about what I ate (and stopped randomly grabbing snacks that left me bloated and blah), my skin, digestion, energy, and even my mood completely transformed. Here’s my go-to grocery list that actually changed my body — and that I stick to week after week.
🥬 1. Leafy Greens (Spinach, Kale, Arugula)
These are the glow-up queens. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K — they help detox your liver, support your skin, and reduce inflammation. I throw spinach in smoothies and sauté kale with garlic and lemon for dinner.
💡 Tip: Keep baby spinach in the freezer to never run out.
🍋 2. Lemons
I start every morning with warm lemon water. It helps kickstart digestion, reduce bloat, and hydrate your body after hours of sleep.
💡 Glow tip: Add a pinch of pink salt for minerals.
🍓 3. Berries (Blueberries, Strawberries, Raspberries)
They’re packed with antioxidants that fight skin aging, improve brain health, and satisfy sweet cravings.
💡 I always buy frozen organic berries — cheaper and just as nutritious.
🥑 4. Avocados
Healthy fats = healthy hormones + glowing skin + feeling full. I eat them on sourdough toast, in salads, or mashed into a dip with lime and garlic.
💡 Don’t fear fat — your body needs it to glow.
🧄 5. Garlic & Onions
These do wonders for your gut and immunity. Plus, they make everything taste 10x better.
💡 Add them to your stir-fries, soups, and roasted veggies.
🥥 6. Coconut Water
Hydrating, naturally sweet, and loaded with electrolytes. I love it post-workout or as a base for green smoothies.
💡 Avoid versions with added sugar — go for 100% pure coconut water.
🌰 7. Chia Seeds & Flaxseeds
Tiny, but powerful. High in fiber, omega-3s, and great for digestion and hormones. I add them to overnight oats, smoothies, or mix with almond milk for chia pudding.
🍠 8. Sweet Potatoes
A complex carb that keeps me full, supports my energy, and gives me that “inner warmth” feeling. Plus, they’re rich in beta-carotene (hello, glow skin!).
💡 Roast in the oven with cinnamon and olive oil = chef’s kiss.
🐟 9. Salmon or Sardines
Omega-3s are a non-negotiable for clear skin, hormone balance, and brain function. I eat salmon twice a week and sardines as a quick snack with crackers.
💡 Go for wild-caught when you can.
🍫 10. Dark Chocolate (85%+)
Yes, chocolate can be part of your glow-up — as long as it’s high-quality. Full of magnesium (for PMS and sleep), antioxidants, and pure joy.
💡 Have a square or two after dinner with herbal tea.
🛒 Final Thoughts: It Starts in Your Cart
You don’t need to overhaul your entire kitchen overnight. But slowly replacing processed, bloating foods with these nourishing options made all the difference in my skin, belly, energy, and even mindset.
This isn’t a diet — it’s a lifestyle upgrade.
