What To Choose At The Grocery Store: Our Clean Ingredient Favorites!

There is a reason that convenience food brands have grown so dramatically over the recent years – it’s because they’re…convenient! Once of the hardest adjustments when changing my daughter’s (and as a result, my family’s) diet was navigating the overwhelming landscape of food choices to find items that, most importantly, met our needs of using clean and safe ingredients, while also lending some convenience to our busy daily lives.

I’ve been meaning to make this list for a while, as these are the items that I’ve found at the store and also feel good about feeding to my family! Some are the basics like crackers or snacks that just make it easy to grab-and-go and have good-for-you options while out and about. Some are ingredients that can create delicious, healthy, and easy dinners. Some are treats that feel indulgent, without the guilt! And all are products that contain no inflammatory oils, no preservatives, no artificial sweeteners, no food dyes, no gums, and no natural flavors)! Because my daughter also has celiac, these are all certified gluten-free as well. If any of these don’t have the verification, I did confirm with the company they were free from cross-contamination. Of course, things can change, so you can always double-check and make sure they work for you. However, at least this narrows down the list from everything in the grocery store to some amazing, healthy options below. Enjoy! And, if you have other clean ingredient products that you love that aren’t on this list, I’d love, love, love to hear about them! And for more products we love that are available online, check out Obvi Foods, where I earn a commission on products you purchase through the site, which helps me keep the site going and info coming! I’m just getting started, so I will continue to add new products as I find them, so please keep checking back!
