Go Shopping with a Nutritionist

We had a lot of fun at Whole Foods in Union Square, but there are plenty of natural food stores in the NYC area yet to be explored. One of my favorites is Lifethyme Natural Market. They make all of their prepared food in house, and they have many of the products I can find at Whole Foods, plus some delicious gems I can only find at this store! If you are new to reading labels, I'll explain what ingredients you want to avoid and which ones to look for (shopping at a health food store doesn't mean that everything is healthy ;). I'll also show you all of my favorite healthy convenience foods and help you find upgraded versions of the not-so-healthy treats you enjoy (and by upgraded, this means choosing packaged foods that do not contain harmful chemicals, preservatives, artificial flavors, colors or refined sugar). There may be items you didn't know existed (jalapeño cream cheese made with almond milk anyone?...no seriously I just discovered this and my mind is blown!). Plus you get to get your nutrition questions answered while you discover new goodies.

I ask for a donation to cover my time, energy and travel expenses with a sliding scale of $15-25. Please pay what you feel is fair based on your experience.
