Healthy Grocery Shopping Tour
Grocery shopping for healthy food can be a daunting task, especially with food sensitivities, but it doesn’t need to be! If you’ve ever felt lost or overwhelmed in the grocery store, wondering if the brands/types of food you’re buying are the healthiest or if the savvy marketing on the label is just making you think that…this is for you!
I guide individuals, couples, families, and small groups through the aisles of a local supermarket to relieve this stress by teaching them how to:
- Easily navigate through the grocery store, identifying healthy items in each aisle
- Choose healthier swaps for foods they are used to buying
- Effectively read food labels, and identify hidden allergens, additives, and preservatives
- Stock a healthy pantry and refrigerator so it’s easy to make good snacks/meals
- Discover new foods and how to cook them (vegetables, legumes, whole grains, etc.)
- Learn more about popular food terms mean and if they’re important (organic, GMO, all-natural, etc)
- Save time and money while shopping
- Optional additional topics: Does organic or non-GMO really matter? What does ‘all natural’ mean?
You’ll walk away with TONS of helpful and relevant information based on your specific eating habits and lifestyle, plus LOTS of handouts and templates to use as quick reference and to keep things simple.

Healthy Pantry/Refrigerator Makeover
If you want to change your eat habits to achieve your goals for your health, the best place to start is right from your own pantry and refrigerator. This is the ideal class for those who want to detoxify their kitchen. This is also a great option for those who are newly diagnosed or suspect food sensitivities to things like dairy or gluten…and don’t know where to start.
Change your environment to match your goals, have it work with you versus against you!
During this session we will look at what’s in your fridge and pantry, and I will help you identify which foods can easily be replaced with healthier alternatives that still taste delicious and will nourish both your body and soul. We’ll put together a list of better options for you to buy during your next grocery trip. It’s a lot easier to resist those unhealthy foods when you can open your pantry without seeing many boxes of cookies and bags of potato chips staring back at you, trust me!
You’ll also learn things like:
- Are the foods in my cupboards, fridge and freezer actually good for me?
- What exactly are these ingredients in my food, should they be avoided, why?
- What are good healthier swaps for my favorite foods and ingredients?
- How do I read food labels, and identify hidden allergens, additives, and preservatives?
- What should I have on-hand to keep me full, satisfied, and healthy?
- What are some helpful kitchen tools and gadgets to make healthy meal prep easier?
- How do I safely clean my home, with non-toxic products?
I cater each makeover to your health goals and lifestyle. You’ll also get LOTS of handouts and templates to use as quick reference and to keep things simple.
