вЂњCost is one of the main barriers to buying and preparing healthy food, and, as an RD, I love that they have great prices on fresh and frozen produce. вЂњTrader JoeвЂ™s in one of my go-to healthy grocery stops,вЂќ says dietitian Jess Cording, RD, author of the upcoming book, The Little Book Of Game Changers. The following 10 grocery stores really go the extra mile in helping you be your healthiest self. Other surefire signs that a grocery store gives a hoot about keeping you healthy: designated areas for healthy or organic food products, labels that make productsвЂ™ nutritional value clear, and even in-store dietitians, Levinson says. ThatвЂ™s why Levinson looks for stores that offer a wide variety of fresh produce (including local and seasonal options), fresh meat and fish departments, a variety of whole grains, a robust dairy aisle, and a frozen food section stocked with frozen fruit and vegetables, better-for-you frozen meals, whole-grain waffles, and veggie burgers. вЂњWalking into a supermarket with beautiful, fresh, vibrantly colored produce is the most inspiring way to encourage healthy eating and increased consumption of fruits and veggies,вЂќ says New York-based culinary nutrition expert and author of 52-Week Meal Planner, Jessica Levinson, RDN, CDN. I mean, letвЂ™s be real, where you shop matters when youвЂ™re trying to focus on good-for-you food.

In healthy-eating heaven, grocery stores would get you as psyched about fruits and veggies as the latest flavor of Ben & JerryвЂ™s.
