It’s food shopping time again…have you ever wished someone could give you “the master list†of healthy foods to purchase? Well, wish no more. I thought it might be helpful to share my personal picks to boost your shopping cart (and health) this week. Go through the list and highlight the foods that interest you. If you dislike some of the foods, simply don’t buy them, easy enough? In addition to the food ideas, I have included one of many ways to inspire them into your diet. Happy Eating!
Organic, unsalted almonds:
Eat plain as a snack, or crush them up over a salad for added crunch.
Organic avocados

Organic Black beans:
Rinse well, mix with chopped onions, corn, sea salt and cumin for a delicious side dish- get creative!
