Bobby Approved - The FlavCity Shopping Experience

Have you ever taken a close look at the ingredients in most vitamins and supplements? Often times the "other" ingredients contain some pretty shady stuff, and you need to realize these products can't replace a bad diet. They are called supplements for a reason, they fill the gaps here and there, but nothing can benefit you the way a good diet does.  

Ever wondered which kombucha is best for you and why some cold brew coffee drinks have a whooping 41 grams of sugar? In this episode, Art and I talk about all the different flavored drinks at the grocery store, and which ones are the best quality.

Why is it so hard to find good quality hummus at the store, and why do so many of these dips have suspect ingredents? Art and I shop for hummus, veggie dips, vegan dips, spreads, and chips at the store and discuss what you should be looking for.

In this week's episode, Dessi, Rose, and I go through our pantry to tell you guys some staples we always have on hand. From oil, tea, coffee, baking essentials, and more, these are some of the items we keep on hand to make healthy recipes and add serious flavor to our cooking.

If I had to choose my favorite store to shop at, it would have to be Costco. Between the savings, high quality food items, and free samples, it's just the perfect storm for shopping bliss. I literally get giddy every time I flash my card to the bouncer and walk in the club. On today's podcast, Let's shop Costco and pick out the top 10 or so most healthy food items at the warehouse club. I'm talking grass-fed beef, collagen peptides, grass-fed cheese, sprouted bread, and more! Plus, I'm buying food items that have a long shelf life, so don't worry if you have a small family, this stuff won't go bad quickly.

The best part is they can't kick us out, something they always do when we film videos there for our YouTube channel.
