Canned food have lot of preservatives which are not good for health. Hence , these should be avoided. Moreover fresh fruits taste better.

8. Say yes to coconut water or butter milk and no to cold drinks : There is good option available for cold drinks. Cold drinks are high in sugar content while coconut water is high in minerals. Its good for kids and elders too. It can be a good option in summer.

    I like these ideas! I’ve never heard of Yakult I think you called it? Sounds interesting. I need to start buying fresh fruits and veggies, it’s just much more expensive! Great post!

  2. My wife sends me out quiet often to buy groceries. She makes out a clear list for me. But often I get tempted by something that looks attractive, end up buying it, bring it back home and exhibit it proudly and have to face my wife’s wrath :). #Superbloggerchallenge2018

  3. I’m glad to say that I follow almost all the points you’ve said, for myself. My husband and kids have a list of their own, sadly.
    Haven’t switched to olive oil yet. Somehow the taste requires some getting used to on an Indian palate.

    1. Glad you follow all. For Olive oil , I must say , you should try. I have been using it for your last 2- 3 years for cooking and eating raw in salad dressing. There is a extra light olive oil for cooking available also. If using for salad dressing, add some lemon juice, black pepper, honey to extra vigin olive oil and mix well and use it. It is good way to develop the taste.

    Another thing to add it ‘don’t shop when hungry’! I find that when I’m hungry, I tend to choose and food!
    Oh and I LOVE Yakult! I drink it by the bucket load!

  5. I usually just shop for very “basic” foods that I can use in a variety of meals, like lentils or beans and spices. But recently we had a coupon and got some more extravagant stuff for free, so I’ve got coconut water, coconut milk, all kinds of fancy seeds and frozen avocado (…no fresh ones around) waiting for me. It feels great to get some variety while still being healthy! 🙂

    You are so right, having a healthy list to begin with will help in the shopping, so that we dont end up grabbing the unhealthy stuff. I also find that when I shop I do it after a meal, as I when I am hungry, I end up shopping for more unhealthy stuff too.
