Next time you go food shopping, bring your well-planned list and you’ll leave with a cart full of groceries that won't bust your budget or diet. We recommend replacing the following nutritionally lacking foods with their healthier counterparts. These foods are often lacking in essential vitamins and minerals that are important building blocks of good health. Prepackaged foods are often loaded with added sugars, sodium, and fillers meaning you are eating more than you bargained for. Skipping processed foods in favor of easy to prepare whole foods will help you lead a healthier lifestyle. Making small changes on what you add to your grocery cart can result in big gains for your and your family’s health.
