WHAT IS IN YOUR FRIDGE RIGHT NOW??



Looking in your fridge can give you an objective peek at what goes into your body on a regular basis. I'll go first. Here is what is in my refrigerator at this very moment.


All of these ingredients are ORGANIC as well:


sliced watermelon
quinoa
chickpeas and kidney beans
strawberries
peanut butter
low fat milk
1/2 and 1/2
coconut water
eggs
spinach
orange juice
apple juice and apples
earth balance natural butter spread
cheddar cheese
whole wheat bread
whole wheat wraps
limes and lemons (for veggie smoothies)
various condiments like toasted sesame oil, balsamic vinegar, etc.
an old rotisserie chicken that I should remove
my husband's month old Mountain Dew (he drinks them on road trips)
flax seed oil
fish oil supplements

You can do the same thing with your cupboards and freezer. Look at some of the cans you have, or boxed/premade foods. Do they have added salt? Artifical colors? MSG? Hydrogenated fats? Just notice. No need to judge yourself.

Take compassionate inventory.

What kinds of healthy items could you bring into your home that would start to "crowd out" the less healthy options? Every time you shop, replace one item with a healthier version. For example, replace regular milk with organic, or replace chips with yummy, whole grain crackers.

Before you know it, you will open your fridge and cupboards and find them full of wholesome, nutritious, life giving foods that energize you for the life you want to live.

Namaste,
Kendra
