You don't have to "go organic" or break the bank to eat healthy. Just focus on filling your cart with:

• Fresh fruits and vegetables


• Whole grains (without enriched or bleached flours, if possible)


• Lean meats with lots of protein


• Low-fat dairy products


• And maybe a few new additions like soy or tofu

You also don't have to be a nutrition-label ninja to enjoy a healthy diet. Just be aware of what your family is eating and keep an eye out for healthier alternatives to classic favorites. For example:

• Invest in a juicer or blender instead of buying ready-made juices that contain corn syrup, sugar and other sweeteners.


• Buy natural peanut butter instead of the chemical-filled variety. Better yet, make your own and have the kids help!
