Vanilla Shakeology Recipe: Peaches and Creme

The more ingredients in the foods you’re buying, the more likely it’s a highly processed food. So when you’re shopping, try to buy foods with the fewest ingredients. For instance, if you’re looking for all-natural peanut butter, there should be one, maybe two ingredients: peanuts and salt. No added oils or hydrogenated gunk.

If you really want to get crazy, start buying one-ingredient foods. Buy plain greek yogurt, rather than the yogurt that has “fruit” in it… the fruit undoubtedly has added sugars, preservatives, and concentrates. Buy tuna packed in water, not oil. Buy real butter, not the light or hybrid or “heart-healthy” spreads. Who wants to eat “spreads” anyway? They’re the home version of movie theater popcorn “flavoring.” I want real butter made from all-natural cream and nothing else. I can add my own salt thank you very much.

This is a process that certainly takes getting used to. But it’s also a time when less really is more.
