1. Replace ingredients in current favorite recipes. Instead of wheat flour in cake or pancakes, you can replace wheat flour with coconut flour. Instead of rice or pasta for meals, eat potatoes or spaghetti squash. Instead of regular milk pudding, make chocolate pudding from avocado. 

1. Ditch package food – many foods are naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, such as all meat, poultry, fish, seafood, eggs, nuts, beans, seeds, all fruits, and vegetables. You don’t need to buy any gluten-free pasta, gluten-free noodle, gluten-free cookies, gluten-free crackers, gluten-free flour mix. 

1. Eat ingredients for snacks. Any food that comes in a package and ready to consume are expensive because you’re paying for convenience. But you’re also paying the price for your health. Packaged and processed food not only lack nutritional value from excessive processing, the added artificial flavorings and preservatives are something you are paying for. 

1. Meal planning. Planning your meals and snacks ahead of time saves time and money. You know exactly what you need to buy in the store, so you save time making multiple trips to the store for missing items. You’ll also have your meals and snacks ready, so you don’t end up ordering take-out from restaurants because dinner is not ready and everyone is HANGRY.

1. Discount specialty grocery stores. Lucky us. There are many discount specialty stores where you can get high quality organic clean grocery items for discounted prices. Thrive Market is like the child of Costco+Whole Food+amazon.com in one. You can find discounted prices of organic clean foods and products shipped directly to you. You can get discounted funny-shaped produce from MisFit Produce that is not “pretty” enough to sell to a regular store. And of course, your local farmers’ market and CSA communities are other wonderful places to get discounted fresh produce from. 

Feeding our family healthy clean food is not only the right thing to do, but it’s also an investment into our future. 

Without a healthy proper functioning body, our lives can only go so far and achieve so much. And you have the power to help your child. 

Ok, there you have it…
