How the Alley's Eat! Part 1
A question I get all the time is what do you eat? People also always ask - what do your boys eat? The short answer is we do our best to eat mostly clean healthy foods. That answer might seem simple, but finding healthy, clean food can actually be harder than you expect. Just because something is sold at Whole Foods or labeled “non-GMO” or “organic” does not automatically make it healthy. But there isn’t enough time in the day to read the back of every label for every grocery item in the store. Instead, I find brands that keep their ingredients clean and healthy. So here is my Master List of my favorite brands for the staples in our household. None of these brands sponsor me or this post - these are all 100% brands I love and buy when grocery shopping, though I wouldn’t turn down KRAVE if they wanted to send me some free jerky :)
Pantry Favorites:
smoothies / juices: Vejo - this is a self-contained blender. They have all different pods (think the Keurig of Juicing). Clean, healthy and delicious!
Daily Harvest is also a favorite, they also have bowls which are delicious.
