What’s in Your Grocery Bag for the New Year?
This is a question I like to ask when I offer fun nutrition programs to people around my community. After a pause, I usually hear confident answers like fruits and vegetables! OK, that’s a great start for everyone’s grocery bag. But, don’t stop there. Take some time to think about how your bag reflects balance, variety and moderation. These are smart things to ponder, too. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, dairy, lean meat, poultry, fish, nuts, seeds. It all adds up to a top-notch grocery bag for energizing your personal nutrition!
What’s in My Grocery Bag for the New Year?
Often I’m asked what’s in my grocery bag? What a cool question for me – especially since my specialty is grocery store nutrition! In fact, in a blog from just last month, I covered some great grocery bag choices for December and throughout the winter. Also, recently I was interviewed for a podcast by a registered dietitian colleague named Annette. What fun to chat with her for about 3/4 hour about holiday foods, ways to get more nutrition for less cash at the grocery store, my tips for maintaining healthy body weight, and my food hero. You can listen to my ‘What’s In Your Grocery Bag?’ podcast here. Then, let me know how you liked it, please!
