Don't you see anything that you'd like to try?
Humans are creatures of habit, we tend to buy the same 13 items every time we go to the grocery store. This guide should help you make your list . Use this transformation as an opportunity to shine a light on some new foods. Now that we are in a phase of limited food options, thinking outside of your box might be a necessary way to shop….great opportunity to try new things!
Assume that all fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds should be consumed raw or barely cooked unless noted to *cook lightly.
