Grocery List & Prep Guide for Pineapple Quinoa & Green Beans
To make cooking smooth and enjoyable, organization is key. Here’s everything you need for this week’s sides and vegetable while keeping the full menu in mind:
Grocery List (Side & Vegetable Focus):
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
¼ cup Monin coconut syrup (for cooking quinoa)
¼ cup sliced almonds
1 bunch green onions, finely chopped
About 2 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
1–2 tbsp butter or avocado oil
1 tsp fresh ginger, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1–2 tbsp honey
Pinch of sea salt
Prep-Ahead Tips:
1–2 days ahead: Cook quinoa; toast almonds and store in airtight container (I do prefer making the same day)
Day before: Trim green beans and chop green onions, toast almonds, chop ginger,
Day of: Quickly steam or sauté green beans and glaze with honey-garlic-ginger mixture just before serving
Pro Tip: Quinoa and green beans can be gently reheated; finish the green beans right before plating for crisp-tender texture and vibrant color.
Warmly,
