Dr. Ana-Maria Temple walks through Costco picks for low-tox family life: Burt's Bees organic pajamas, Once Upon a Farm Immunity Blend for picky eaters, Chosen avocado-oil dressing instead of soybean oil, and Jackson's avocado-oil veggie straws. She focuses on reducing inflammatory oils and finding real-ingredient snacks that actually work for kids.
Costco Finds, April edition. Let's go shopping. If you have children, you're going to the beach, you have a lot of stuff that you carry around, this foldable bag on wheels at $37.99 is a must-have. Kids spend half their life sleeping, and what touches the skin is important because the skin is the largest organ in our body. Costco now has organic pajama sets from Burt's Bees. Once Upon a Farm Immunity Blend is a great way to get extra plant points in children. Yes, even the picky ones. Salad dressings can be tricky because they sound healthy, but most of them are made with soybean oil or canola oil. Here comes Chosen, who's made zesty Italian dressing with avocado oil. Veggie straws without inflammatory oil are so hard to find, but here's Jackson's at Costco with avocado oil. Lunchboxes and after-school snacks, oh my, here we have Siete tortilla chips in individually wrapped serving sizes and Jackson's chips and veggie straws in individual packs for lunchboxes and snacks. For my gluten-free people, FitJoy pretzels, 3 different varieties in individual packs for lunchboxes and snacks. Even though FitJoy does contain some inflammatory oils, they're still heads and tails above these pretzels that are filled with many no ingredients. Yummy organic toddler bars are now available at Costco. Real ingredients, real food. It is a treat. And yes, I even bought these tulips at $37.99.
