Bren’s Grocery Picks: Snag This Certified Health & Nutrition Coach’s Texarkana Grocery Shopping List

 by Bren Gonzalez

I love to cook healthy meals for my family and friends, so doing a grocery food haul is a huge part of my week. I focus on fresh, organic, gluten-free foods that are low in preservatives. How do I get that done at the grocery stores we have here in Texarkana—while sticking to a budget?

The most important step is to first shop the outskirts of the grocery store. That way, you’ll hit the fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, dairy, meats and fish first. Fill your cart with fresh foods and shop sparingly from the aisles. The less packaged foods you eat, the less preservatives you’re consuming.

I always hit up Whole Foods, Central Market and my other favorite grocery stores when I’m traveling, but when I’m shopping in town, I know exactly where to find the products and brands my family uses the most: Target, Granary Street Health Food Store and Walmart Neighborhood Market.

If you’re looking for gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free organic foods, check out my shopping lists for each store!
