“What should I eat?”
The question many ask when trying to switch to healthier eating habits. While the answer is going to be different for everyone, I’m rounding up some of my favorite grocery store finds that make healthy eating a little easier. Whether it’s saving time, boosting nutrition, or increasing flavor, these items will soon become kitchen staples. I’ll be sharing my favorites each month—much more to come!
Unlike other store-bought dressings filled with sugars and unnecessary additives, this Green Goddess Dressing is made with simple good-for-you ingredients. Bonus: It’s delicious and is an easy way to make any salad taste great (perfect for all you salad skeptics out there).
This versatile fruit is a kitchen necessity. Squeeze some juice on your veggies, protein (chicken, fish etc), salad, or in your glass of water for low-cal dash of flavor (and powerful antioxidants).
Brown rice is loaded with protein, fiber, B vitamins and minerals. This whole grain is a filling and satisfying ingredient that can be incorporated into a variety of dishes. The only problem? It can take about 45 minutes to cook. And I don’t know about you, but I don’t have time for that. The solution: Frozen cooked brown rice that can be popped in the microwave and ready in minutes.
Tofu, made from fermented soybeans, provides some serious plant-based protein (1/2 cup contains about 10 g of protein). While there are a lot of great recipes out their for flavoring your tofu, I like to buy some simple seasoned tofu as a quick protein to add to salads, wraps, stir frys, and more.
Just one tablespoon provides a healthy dose of protein, fiber, and omega-3 fatty acids (the healthy fats that may help reduce inflammation and cardiovascular disease risk factors). Add ground flaxseed to baked goods, smoothies, and yogurt for a simple way to boost nutrition.
A spice drawer necessity. This seasoning goes great on well, everything. Sprinkle on avocado toast, salads, veggies, popcorn, and so much more to instantly take the flavor up a notch.
Flavored seltzer water might be a serious trend right now, but it’s a tasty way to increase your water intake. Staying hydrated keeps your energy levels up and is important for every system in your body. Plus, it makes a great alternative to sugary soda.
