I like to make a rainbow: red apples, orange carrots, yellow squash, green asparagus, blueberries, purple plums. (And then, once home, the race is on to get them all eaten before they go to waste!) * If you buy fruit juices, get the kind that contain 100% juice. Too often the juices are 30% juice and 70% high fructose corn syrup/sugar water. The juice percentage will usually appear right above the Nutrition Facts panel. PUN!] overly-processed wheat.

Too often I shop while hungry and wind up buying way more than I intended and/or shopping too fast and not reading the labels close enough. Somehow I manage to convince myself to deviate from the list here and there and always regret it later. Just the other day, because I was in a hurry, I accidentally bought quick oats instead of rolled oats. Blah! Since they make for a lousy bowl of oatmeal, I think I'll make a facial mask out of them instead. Some advice I read elsewhere: * Only buy "wheat" products that have an ingredient list that begins with WHOLE WHEAT. Some companies are sneaky about labeling their wheat breads; they'll say "Made with whole grains" but when you look at the ingredients, the whole grains are not anywhere near the top of the list. And that of course means that there might just be a smidgen of whole grains, while the rest of it is just your run-of-the-mill [ Great list!!
