I've NEVER been to a Whole Foods in my life, but I'll be shopping there later this week. I'm 1 month out and can tolerate most foods, so far. I'm sure it's going to be a little overwhelming, so I plan to make a little grocery list before I go... I need a little help.

What are your must-haves from Whole Foods??

I insist that all of my dairy and meat products are organic. I stock up on eggs, cheese, yogurt and chicken breasts. They also have a wide variety of good soups and meatless chili that is tasty.

I haven't tried chili yet, and meatless chili sounds pretty good!! Thanks!

My regular grocery store has a nice selection of organics so I don't really get much at whole foods other than spagetti squash (my grocer doesn't always have it) and some soups.

If you have a super target, check out their organics.

FYI not all produce at whole foods is organic

Not only do we not have a Super Target, I've never seen one! Lol.

And this trek to While Foods is an hour away... So that may give you an idea of what's available to me in my area. Lol

I meant whole foods. Oops.

Where do you live?

SouthEast Louisiana.

I absolutely love Whole Foods and drive 45 minutes to get to it. You can get a lot of the products there in most grocery stores. But I still go there because they have a lot of products that I love to get there. Mainly meat, seafood, spices, some dairy because you can get organic usually in the grocery store. But they have an extensive list of them. They have fantastic soups there as well!

I've only been there maybe 2 times. Most of what you find there you can find at Kroger for half the price. It might save you a long trip and money if you check out your local grocery stores organic sections. It is fun to check it out though.

There's no "Kroger" either. Lol

Our local grocery store has about 1/4 an aisle of organic food. Lol. I buy what I can there, but its pretty limited -- so you can understand my excitment for Whole Foods.

Go and have fun!! Don't be to shocked when you see the prices!!

What's the grocery store near you? Do you have publix?

Your local grocer should have organic cheese, dairy, and eggs and maybe som limited produce.

I would definitely get spagetti squash, Gia Russo spagetti sauce (publix sells it but your local grocer may not) in Hot Sicilian or tomato basil, check out their quinoa grain mixes, fresh greens like arugula, kale, etc.

Take your time, read labels for serving size, calories, Protein, carbs and fat since not all things there are healthy but have packaging that seems healthy.

I am lucky (so I feel your pain) because I have super target, whole foods, publix and Fresh Market all a few miles away.

Thanks! (And no, no Publix either, lol).

Just to give clarity, the town that I'm from is in the marsh of south Louisiana. If I pointed to it on a map, it would be water.

Whole Foods & Trader Joes are my favorite grocery stores! Bring a cooler & make sure you stop by the cold case that has all the yummy sides & salads! The hot bar is yummy too!

Enjoy!
