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.

For today’s post, I wanted to chat about my all-time favorite healthy food brands. When I say, “healthy,” 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.

In an *ideal* world, I would make everything, including our snack foods, from scratch. I make almost all of our meals at home – we try to just get takeout or restaurant food 1-2 times a week – 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’s post!

Please keep in mind that I totaly understand that inflation is bonkers and grocery costs are out of control. If you’re simply struggling to put food on the table, I see you and am sending you the biggest hug. I don’t want anyone to feel shamed or bad about their choices; we’re all out here doing the best we can.

My children would be horrified that you can see my “dogs” in this photo lol
