Buying Store Bought 21 Day Fix Dressing
The program’s nutrition guide provides homemade recipes, but we realize it can be a lot to meal prep without adding in homemade dressings.
We are all about keeping it simple so that you are consistent about making healthy choices.
It’s just about choosing the right pre-packaged option. You’ll need to read labels.
Here are a few guidelines to choosing a good quality dressing:
- Avoid artificial colors or sweeteners (including high fructose corn syrup)
- Also, avoid preservatives like Natamycin, MSD andSodium Benzoate
- Skip any with Soybean, Canola, or Partially Hydronated Oils
- Look forolive oil or balsamic based dressings
- Natural spices, lemon, and garlic are all great additions
Brands we love:
- Nature’s Path
- Newman’s Own
- Bolthouse Farms
