After 11 years in this wellness journey, rest assured that I've tried almost every diet—raw vegan, keto carnivore, paleo, vegetarian, and pescatarian to name a few. To conclude that the best and most cost-efficient approach for optimal health is to stick mostly to whole, nutrient dense foods and limit processed foods as much as possible. I’ve also learned that the best way to encourage better eating habits for the entire family is by stocking your kitchen with nutritious foods & to cook and eat at home as often as you can. I’m sharing my Fall grocery list to help you navigate the supermarket aisles in search of seasonal, vibrant and sustainable foods! Xx Gigi
