Shannon’s shining stars:

Her best of the besT

As a dietitian, I strive to share the best of the best foods, snacks, supplements, and health-supporting products with you! I am always looking for extremely nutrient-dense foods and I am passing on these fantastic finds to you. I hunt for options that deliver the optimal ratio of proteins, fats, and carbs, plus all the vitamins and minerals we need too. The goal is eat as many whole, minimally processed foods as possible, aiming for foods which contain zero (or minimal) added sugar, artificial sweeteners or inflammatory oils.
