It’s in the Bag | a Healthy Outlook

As a nutritionist, I often get asked what do I like to eat and how do I feed my family. The criteria that guides me is taste, cost, organically grown, and foods with nutrient density (and our ability to absorb them). If my grocery bag acted as a playlist of favorites foods to sing about I often rotate these items into my grocery bag. Remember to your palate, to your health! We are all bio – individually unique and what is good for one isn’t necessarily good for all. You can bet on this “food for thought”:  diversity in fiber, healthy fats and protein is ideal.

My Shopping Bag Playlist

ASPARAGUS

Steamed with yummy poached eggs, shaved Parmesan

SWEET POTATO

Let cool once cooked and ‘butta” them up!

BUCKWHEAT

Gluten-free and anti nutrient-free (meaning it doesn’t interfere with absorption of other nutrients)

CAULIFLOWER

multivitamin food!

SARDINES

milder than tuna fish (and less mercury) delicious with lemon juice and olive oil

PASTURED raised EGGS

Best investment and nutritional superstars.

LENTILS

Protein-rich extremely versatile and easy for most people to digest – the darker and smaller the variety is best

FERMENTED VEGGIES

Probiotics and wealth of nutrients (better than any supplement).

AVOCADO

Goes without saying!

GRAPEFRUIT

Low in fructose and high fermentable fiber.

LEEKS

Roast them or eat raw with goat cheese.

HOMEMADE BROTHS AND STOCKS

Enjoy them alone or add them to enrich other recipes.
