The SoulGarden Health Podcast Ashlea Hartz

As a Certified Holistic Nutrition  Educator, I love talking about healthy food, and eating healthy starts with shopping healthy! This week I take you on an audio shopping tour of one of my go-to stores for healthy bargains...Trader Joe's. One barrier to healthy eating can sometimes be the price, but there is always a way to make good choices even on a budget. I love TJ's selections of healthy, organic, and reasonably priced products, so today I walk you through my shopping routine and highlight some of my favorite products. Whether you need a prepared on-the-go meal, a sweet treat, or to restock your pantry staples you can find just about everything you need.
