Workin’ it out at a Pilates Class in North Kansas City? Make the most of all your hard work by eating healthy. Eating healthy starts with shopping smart, so check out these tips for navigating the grocery stores in North Kansas City from Pilates 1901!
- Before you even walk into the grocery store, make sure of these three things:
- Don’t shop hungry!
- Know what is at home. Make sure to check your fridge and pantry before you leave the house.
- Have a list. Those fatty and sugary snack foods can be too enticing otherwise.
- Start with the produce section and BUY WHAT IS IN SEASON! Do not accept samples…just don’t, it’s not worth it!
- Hit up the bulk foods section next. Sub your usual whole wheat or AP flour and go for almond or coconut flour. Stock up on nuts and avoid the dried fruit which can be full of sugar.
- The baking isle is the place to go for healthier sugar options. Check out date sugar, coconut sugar, honey, and maple syrup.
- Look for fresh fish that smells like the sea. If buying wild, be sure to look for fish that is in season. Frozen is okay too!
- Watch out for added salt in canned foods, and be sure to avoid ketchup and BBQ sauce due to the high sugar content.
- Omega enriched eggs are worth the extra money, but color has no bearing on nutritional value.
