Hello friends! How are you? I hope the week goes well! Today I have a discovery call and a lab review call, and I’m looking forward to a sweaty yoga class. I hope you have a beautiful day ahead.
For today’s post, I wanted to talk about My all-time favorite healthy food brands. When I say “healthy,” I mean they have simple ingredients with minimal added oils, artificial sweeteners, colors, etc. I usually try to buy them from certified organic, wild-caught seafood, and B Corps because they care about people. and the planet.
In an *ideal* world, I would make everything, including our snacks, from scratch. I make almost all of our meals at home (we try to get takeout or restaurant food 1-2 times a week), but I still opt for packaged options for convenience. I have a mental list of brands I love and I wanted to share some of them in today’s post!
Please know that I totally understand that inflation is crazy and grocery costs are out of control. If you are simply struggling to put food on the table, I see you and I send you the biggest hug. I don’t want anyone to feel ashamed or bad about their decisions; We are all here doing the best we can.
My kids would be horrified if they could see my “dogs” in this photo hahaha

My favorite sources for online shopping are NOW Food (the code is FITNESSISTA), Prosperous market and Butcher’s Box. (<—each link will give you a discount!) These aren't the only brands we buy, but my favorites that come to mind! I'll probably add to this list over time.
