    Default favorite health food store finds

    So inspired by the October workout challenge, I went to my local health food store and picked up some healthy foods. I got-
    -a vegatarian bento box made with brown rice and organic veggies
    -dried goji berries They're very high in antioxidants and they're a common ingredient in Chinese medicine. The ones I bought are organic and from Tibet. ($5 for 4oz) I could have gotten them cheaper at an Asian grocery but alot of the food products from China have been exposed to high levels of pollution so I decided to spring for the Tibet version.
    -Cabbage kimkee- for a low calorie snack
    -Hazelnut milk from Pacific Natural foods- tastes really good but I later read the label and sugar is one of the top ingredients.
    -Green Tea Decaf Kombucha tea bags. I've heard about Kombucha and wanted to try this but I'm not sure if this has all the benefits of the regular Kombucha since it says to drink right after steeping.
    -Woman's Dong Quai Tonic- in Chinese medicine women drink it around their period to help with cramps and PMS.
    -green tea powder
    -organic cherry tomatoes
    -flaxseeds- I put them in my protein shakes or oatmeal. Flaxseeds are a good source of omega fatty acids and fiber. I bought them in a clear bulk container that was packaged at the store and they were alot cheaper than at Walmart where I've been buying them pre-packaged. By the way I buy my protein powder at Walmart. It's about 1/2 the price of very similar protein powders sold at health food stores.
    I'm thinking about going back and buying royal jelly supplements. I've heard they're healthy.

    I think that's about everything. So far I like the things I've bought. I planning to go back and try other foods. So what health food store foods do you ladies like?

    -I love the freeze-dried fruits they sell in little tubs. Its great by itself or on yogurt with some granola.
    -Chocolate and vanilla almond milk
    -Spicy dried nori, tasty and very low calorie
    -Morning Star products, especially the ground "meat" and the mini corn dogs
    Well thats all i can think of for now.

    Coconut Oil
    Makes my hair super super shiny, much more easier to handle than olive oil and smells much better

    Rosehip Oil
    Fantastic facial oil that gives me a natural glow during the day

    Flaxseed Oil
    I add this to my smoothies and salads. Have been regularly using it for a month now and have noticed slight improvements in skin and hair condition.

    Organic Peppermint Tea
    Helps alleviate bloating a lot

    i don't understand how that would work. the benefits of kombucha come from the products of the fermentation process...

    yeah... the kombucha tea sounds like a gimmick. It's supposed to be live and fermented, not just add water.

    my favorite things at the health food store are....

    - yogi tea peach detox
    -hemp seed milk
    -evolution avocado salsa
    -emergen-C multivitamin
    -nature's gate fluoride free whitening toothpaste
    -kiss my face peaceful patchouli lotion
    -terratints natural lip color in garnet
    -kiss my face gardenia shampoo/conditioner

    Gogi berries for me too!

    It's not food but my best discovery are the "Herban Essentials" peppermint towelettes (for your hands, individually wrapped). They smell sooooo good.

    Has anyone tried a deodorant they got at a health food store that worked? I want to try one but am skeptical.
