Alabama gets Healthy

Moving the the south from the northeast a few years ago definitely didn’t help my weight. I can totally understand why Alabama is one of the most obese states. We all know southern food by nature is fried, sugary, and buttered. However I didn’t realize how few healthy options are available, especially when it comes to products in grocery stores.

Over the past few months I’ve read so much about various healthy/organic options, however I’d have to drive like 2 hours to a “healthy/organic” based grocery store.

Well in the past 2 months we’ve gotten a Publix and an EarthFare. Both of which are grocery stores for those of you not in the south, as I’m pretty sure they are both southern based chains. These stores have been talk of the town.I still wish we had a Trader Joe’s but I’ll take what I can get. 

I already have started my love affair with Publix right after it opened and tonight I checked out EarthFare. 

2 of my awesome purchases include:

  • 36oz Fage Greek Yogurt. 36oz!!!!
  • Shirataki noodles – which @tracytakeson had me worried about, but I decided to give them a whirl and I really liked them. The texture didn’t both me at all, but I can understand why it would.
