I’m making a 45 mile trip to Whole Foods Store next week. Does anyone have any recommendations on what’s good, what’s not?

check elsewhere in this forum. Why reinvent the wheel…

Thanks so much!

Almonds diabetic friendly. High in calories so weight a portion and do not eat more.

I shop at Wholefoods every week and almost everything they sell is good. The meat and seafood are excellent, lots of good yogurt that isn’t loaded with sugar and not your typical Dannon brands. Good spice and salt rubs, excellent produce, coconut water also very good. The wine and beer section very nice with a good variety that you don’t see in every other store. The cheese section is fabulous, go on Saturday so you can eat lots of samples. Make sure to bolus or exercise right after!!! Most of all get inspired to eat good food the D can ruin that feeling sometimes.

Cheese
Freshly-roasted organic fair-trade coffee
Whole-wheat Lavash wraps
Westsoy unsweetened soy milk (vanilla and chocolate flavors; add your own sweetener)
Wine Cellar Sorbet (show proof of age at checkout! this stuff is definitely worth the splurge!)
Organic/fair-trade chocolate
"Luxury" chocolate (my fave is Vosges Red Fire bar)
Frozen edamame (I can usually buy this in the regular supermarket as well)
Whole wheat 5" pita bread (prefer Trader Joe’s, as in this case Whole Foods is partially white flour)
Specialty bakery items (cheese biscuits spike me but are to die for)
