The task of revamping your pantry can be a daunting one! I would like to offer a sample list that is a great start to a new diet!
Celtic Sea Salt or Real Salt--very important addition! real salt has beneficial minerals that helps your body absorb nutrients and process sugar. (product found at almost any grocery or health store)
Ground Flaxseed meal--another great nutrient--high in omega 3's and fiber..>I add this to meatballs, french toast, pancakes, bread, cakes, cookies--the list is endless--it has basically no taste and is easy to 'hide'...Healthy Grocer has this in the frig section for about $4...I have had mine for over 6months in the frig and used it countless times-definitely worth the money!
Raw sugar--my favorite is Succanet which I have only found at Sonnewald's in Spring Grove(definitely the cheapest anyway) this is unprocessed with a lot more nutrients and a lot less 'bad stuff' than white sugar
Whole Wheat flour--also recommend Sonnewald--you can buy it in the store but it is still processed somewhat and doesn't have quite the nutrients--it is still better than white flour though. I started with 50/50 white/wheat and now have increased to almost all wheat.
Nature's Promise eggs--just discovered they are also range free(no meds or grain) and only $1.99 a doz. at Giant! Range free eggs are full of nutrients and one of the highest sources of one of the vitamins--I think B....
"Healthy chicken boullion"--Sonnewald's and Karns supermarket carry this--At sonnewald it is $7 something for like 60 servings that lasts me 4-6months and it is so much healthier!
This is just the surface of 'healthy' eating--but a great way to start replacing some processed foods with some nutrient dense ones! I usually go to Sonnewald's every couple of months and stock up and the rest of the groceries can be found locally...
Have fun shopping!

Pete came home today and told me that he would watch Vienna so that I could take the car and go do whatever I wanted... so, I did a little shopping. In fact, I went to the health food store and bought some Ground Flaxseed meal and Succanet. You've inspired me! Just curious... what brand/type of milk and cheese do you buy?
ReplyDeleteGood for you!!! Way to go :-) There are several options: we get Farmland milk special request milk with WIC 1%...I also buy organic valley cream (1.99 at Giant)and dilute it to the taste of milk--I add Xylitol which is an all natural sugar which actually prevents cavities and helps prevent middle ear infections etc...it is not expensive at all and most health stores have it. helps the kids drink the cream :-) it's not very sweet... An herbal consultant told me this was important to do because cream provides the nutrients without the sugar that milk has.....
ReplyDeleteI have heard that Organic butter is one of the most important things you can focus on as far as going healthy...I found some natural butter at Sharp shopper for $1.99 a lb!!! needless to say I bought 10lbs :-) otherwise I just use real butter and not fake margarine though I would prefer to use organic butter it is more expensive...
