At least a quarter of my shopping cart is usually taken up by salads. Romaine lettuce, kale, spinach, spring mix and whatever other salad ingredients found in the produce section find a home in my cart. A random passerby would say to themselves that is a healthy cart there because I make all slimming choices that are good for my health! And you can too!
Peppers, onions, mushrooms, broccoli, and all the other in season vegetables deserve a place in your cart so you can them add to your salads and stir fry. Your shopping cart should be colorful with produce to better your health, fuel your workouts and slim down.
Get plenty of fruit to indulge your sweet tooth the natural way. Watermelon, strawberries, blueberries and apples are just a few fruits loaded with vitamins and health boosting antioxidants to nourish your body and just help you to better your health. Slim down and have a surge of energy by eating plenty of fruit.
After you hit the produce section, go to the health food section to pick up some whole grains like brown rice and quinoa and while you are there, pick up some nuts and seeds for your salads. These grains will ensure you have plenty of fiber to help your digestive tract and also prevent disease.
Head to the paper product section and pick up snack bags that you can put nuts, seeds, veggies and even fruits into for when you're on the go.
