Healthy Foods at Costco
by Bernard Rosen
I'm excited to let you know about all the healthy items I've found in our
local Costco. Several of my clients mentioned that they had found this
or that so I decided to check it out for myself.
Here's what I found: organic peanut butter, organic olive oil, organic
raspberries, frozen wild blueberries, frozen wild Alaskan salmon (less than $8
per pound), frozen Ahi tuna steaks, cheese from unpasteurized milk, organic
cereal (even though I'm not a big fan of cereal), organic baby greens, organic
carrots, frozen organic broccoli, frozen organic green beans, organic eggs,
Lara bars, organic bottled lemon juice, and organic milk.
They don't have all of these things all of the time, but generally have most
of them. However, if you go there, you must beware of the temptation to
sample and buy much of the less healthy food items that they carry as well.
And, you still must read the labels. For example, there were some frozen
wild Alaskan salmon products that were in a marinate that had soy oil and
various forms of added sugar. My advice - buy plain and make your own
healthy dressings and sauces.
Yours in Health,
Bernard Rosen
