Meal Prep Made Simple — Build a Weekly Eating System That Actually Works

Is that "all natural," "high protein," "made with real fruit" snack as healthy as the package says? In this episode of Peak Health, we go aisle by aisle through the foods with the strongest health halos: granola, smoothies and juice, protein bars, flavored yogurt, restaurant salads, gluten-free and sugar-free products, and "superfoods." You'll find out which ones earn their reputation and which are mostly marketing. You'll also learn what "organic," "natural" and "clean" really mean, and why frozen and canned foods are often better than you'd expect. Then you'll get a 15-second label-reading routine and five simple questions you can ask of any food. No food fear and no perfection required, just clearer choices at the grocery store.
