Mindful Eating Shopping List
I recently posted about a Mindful Eating Plan I created for myself and am implementing for the next month. Below is a list of foods that meet that plan, and that I've been eating the past week. I'll start posting recipes for Mindful Eating that will be designated with an "ME" in the title. You can also find them listed under the Food Love tab in the navigation bar. Just go to Food Love, Recipes and Mindful Eating.I hope my plan provides you ideas and inspiration for your own eating habits. Let me know if it sparks anything in you or if you have any great ideas that have helped you to eat more mindfully over the years. But as always, be sure to enjoy what you eat. Good food and shared meals inspire great happiness.
