Making Excellent Grocery Store Decisions
Shopping for food can be a confusing & frustrating experience. Do you buy fresh or frozen, organic or not, paper or plastic! Here are a few tips to help navigate the craziness of food.
Blueberries – Fresh or Frozen
Go frozen because any frozen food is picked at peak ripeness & therefore can have more healthful nutrients than fresh. The only caveat would be if it's local & in-season.
Kale versus Spinach
Kale's the easy winner here. It is packed full of many nutrients (3x more antioxidants than spinach)!! Cut out the hard stems, then saute w/ garlic, olive oil, & a touch of salt. Yum!
Canned Tuna versus Canned Salmon
Salmon is an excellent choice with more Vit D & omega-3's than tuna. And...if you eat the soft bones you get calcium to boot!
Traditional Yogurt versus Greek-Style Yogurt
Greek yogurt is made by draining the whey (liquid) off of regular yogurt (you could even do this yourself!). Because of this it has a super creamy taste & contains more protein.
Peanut Butter versus Almond Butter
Go almond! Almond butter has less saturated fat, but 2x the amount of heart-healthy monounsaturated fat. It also contains higher amounts of calcium & antioxidants.
Goat's Milk versus Cow's Milk
If you have trouble digesting cow's milk, try goat's as it has less lactose.
Whole Wheat Bread versus Rye Bread
Rye bread has almost 2x the fiber per slice! To avoid colored fakes, look for "whole rye flour" or "rye meal" as the 1st ingredient.
Chicken Breast versus Turkey Breast
Turkey has more protein, iron, zinc, & antioxidants than chicken. It's not just for Thanksgiving!
Green versus Red Bell Peppers
Go for color! Almost anything with bright color will contain higher levels of nutrients. Remember that red bells are the ripened version of green bell peppers...so they've been picked at peak ripeness as opposed to green (quite literally).
Popcorn Kernels versus Microwave Popcorn
Popped popcorn, without all the butter & salt, is a tremendously healthful snack. It contains tons of fiber & as many antioxidants as many fruits & veges. Stay away from microwave popcorn as it is typically very high in fat & salt & the chemicals that line microwavable pouches can contain carcinogens.
Brown Rice versus Quinoa
Quinoa is the star of the show here. It contains more protein (it's a complete protein as well), iron, fiber, potassium, zinc, & folate.
