Grocery Shopping Tips

November 3, 2015 By //  by Dishing For Real

Have you even wanted to go shopping with a Health Coach? Well now you can! Check out our grocery shopping tips.

Shopping in any grocery store can be overwhelming. What to buy, what are these ingredients, and what should I be eating are just a few questions you ask.

When you work with Meghan Teska as your Health Coach, she works with you to answer those questions and also helps answer any other questions you might have for your specific goals. She can help you find recipes, create meal plans and finalize your list. That is just the start. Next, you need to head to the store.

The video above shares grocery shopping tips in some of our favorite areas.

When you first enter a grocery store’s produce area, try to get a little familiar with the flow. Some stores have a section specifically for organic produce; others have the produce mixed within conventional produce.

When heading to the meat department it is still important to read labels or talk to an employee. Many stores today offer organic chicken and grass-fed beef. Some stores even offer local options. It is important to know if your meats have added hormones, antibiotics and understand how the animal was raised, if possible.

Spices are used to add some great flavors to our food. Make your own mixes and avoid unwanted ingredients.

Did you know when reading a label the ingredients are listed in order of volume? This is good guide when trying to understand how much of something might be included in a product.

Some of the best store bought breads are located in the freezer aisle. You can get sprouted and ancient grains and also some gluten free options.

If the fresh vegetables you are looking for aren’t in season, check out the freezer section. Most stores offer a great variety. Stock up your freezer and you can enjoy any time.

Thanks for shopping with us!
