Let's talk about how to transform your grocery cart. Navigating the grocery can be overwhelming, but with a few simple strategies, you can make healthier choices and stock your kitchen with nutritious foods
First make a list before you go shopping. Planning your meals for the week and creating a list of the ingredients you need can help you stay focused and avoid impulse purchases.
A few of my favorite meals that save time are:
Turkey Taco
Grilled salmon & sweet potato
Grilled chicken & rice
Next, start in the veggies, move to the meat department, and end in the frozen section. The outer aisles typically contain fresh produce, lean proteins, and whole foods, which are the foundation of a great nutrition plan.. Try to fill most of your cart with items from these sections.
Read labels carefully. When you do venture into the inner aisles, make sure to read the nutrition labels on packaged foods. Look for products with fewer ingredients and avoid those with added sugars, unhealthy fats, and artificial additives.
Here are some examples of simple items with minimal ingredients that I like:
Primal Kitchen sauces & condiments
Applegate bacon & sausages
Siete taco products
Buy in-season produce. Not only is in-season produce often cheaper, but it's also fresher and more nutritious. Plus, it can help you add variety to your diet and keep your meals interesting.
My favorite items to purchase during the summer are:
Berries
Watermelon
Corn on the cob
Summer squash - my husband loves zucchini & yellow squash
By following these grocery shopping tips, you can make healthier choices and improve your diet. Remember, a little planning and mindfulness can go a long way. If you're ready to take your health to the next level, consider joining my coaching program for personalized support and guidance.
