WHO ELSE LOVES THE HOLIDAYS ??
I hear from so many people that give up on their health goals this time of year. When you've got a full calendar of holiday parties to attend for the next month, I can see how it's easy to just throw in the towel and wait until the new year to get back on track. You don't have to navigate the holiday season on your own. I wanna show you a few simple grocery shopping tricks to help you stay on track this year so that you've got a fully stocked fridge with healthy options.
I’m sharing this with you to show you I get it. I understand how the endless list of to dos increases this time of year and sticking to your health and lifestyle goals easily slips to the end of the list.
Here’s the grocery shopping approaches I share with my clients:
1️⃣Stick to a list to keep organized starting with your weekly list of recipes/meals/staples. Which ingredients do you need for your Thanksgiving meal?
2️⃣Ensure you have fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and protein options on your list and stocked in your kitchen.
3️⃣If you buy frozen vegetables, buy the brands that are just the vegetables with no added salt, preservatives, or sauces.
4️⃣For grains, check the ingredients and opt for a brand that has whole grain listed first
5️⃣Try canned tuna, salmon, or sardines for a convenient protein source
6️⃣Buy the plain version of yogurt and add your own fruit and flavor instead of the fruit on the bottom or flips
