Hi friends! How are ya? I hope the week is going well! I have a discovery call and a lab review call today, and am looking forward to a sweaty yoga class. Hope you have a lovely day ahead.<\/p>\n

For today\u2019s post, I wanted to chat about my all-time favorite healthy food brands.<\/strong> When I say, \u201chealthy,\u201d I mean that they have simple ingredients with minimal added oils, artificial sweeteners, dyes, etc. I usually try to purchase from certified-organic companies, wild caught seafood, and B corps because they care about people and the planet.<\/p>\n

In an *ideal* world, I would make everything, including our snack foods, from scratch.<\/strong> I make almost all of our meals at home \u2013 we try to just get takeout or restaurant food 1-2 times a week \u2013 but I still go for packaged options for convenience sake. I have a mental list of brands that I adore, and wanted to share some of them in today\u2019s post!<\/p>\n

Please keep in mind that I totaly understand that inflation is bonkers and grocery costs are out of control. If you\u2019re simply struggling to put food on the table, I see you and am sending you the biggest hug. I don\u2019t want anyone to feel shamed or bad about their choices; we\u2019re all out here doing the best we can.<\/p>\n
