Healthy Options


Sunday is grocery day for my family. Normally we do it after church. It used to be that we head to the meat section to buy the week's menu. But the past months we opted for some healthy options. It's the fruit section first and then the vegetable area.

Lately also we've been into regular drinking of pineapple juice. We don't buy the powdered juice since it contains too much sugar. As an alternative to natural fruit juice, we buy the liquid variant with freshly squeezed fruit juice as the main ingredient with ascorbic acid.

There's a brand tug of war going on between my hubby and me. We settle for my brand though. I prefer the unsweetened added fiber variant while he goes for the immune builders variant. As long as we stick to our wellness diet, we're fine with each others' preference.

  5. LIZA, That's what I really want to instill to my daughter. Avoid junk foods too or take them in moderation.

  10. Markets are such colorful places! This looks like a nice place to shop. when my daughter was a baby, the supermarket always made her happy--the lights, the sounds, the colors, the shapes. All good!

  17. i'm a PJ addict too. i go for the Vit ACE added (because it's cheaper than the Fiber added - hahaha). it's good for the skin. but don't overdo the Vit C thing to avoid kidney stones formation.

  27. Been a long time since I have fruit juices. I always find them too sweet or too un-natural. I would be happy to know which brands are the real healthy options. :)
