Frequently asked questions

What should be on a healthy grocery list?

Build it around whole foods: plenty of vegetables and fruit, lean proteins like chicken, eggs, fish, and beans, whole grains such as oats and brown rice, and healthy fats like olive oil, nuts, and avocado. Add plain Greek yogurt, and use herbs and spices for flavor while keeping processed snacks to a minimum.

How do I shop healthy on a budget?

Lean on cheap, nutritious staples — eggs, beans, lentils, oats, frozen vegetables, and frozen berries all cost little and keep well. Buy whole ingredients rather than pre-made meals, choose store brands, and plan meals around what's on offer. Frozen produce is as nutritious as fresh and cuts waste.

What foods should I avoid buying to eat healthier?

The easiest wins are cutting back on sugary drinks, sweetened cereals, packaged snacks, and processed meats. You don't have to ban them, but keeping them out of the cart makes the default choice at home a healthy one. Read labels for added sugar, and check that nut butters and sauces aren't loaded with extras.
