Food Shopping: We Love Sprouts!

The name says it all. Sprouts Farmers Market is all about fresh, organic produce and healthy eating. With a focus on healthy food choices, it's a lot like Whole Foods, just smaller. Sprouts has wonderful fresh fruits and vegetables, Boars Head meat and cheeses, sushi and seafood, plus a range of quality snacks. Even the processed food aisles have excellent choices that will align with a healthy diet.

Bulk Foods and Supplements

The bulk food section is teeming with raw nuts, seeds, lentils, brown rice, quinoa and other items at a discount. If you're looking for a supplement, they've got you covered. A large selection is in stock on the shelves and team members are available to help.

Quick Pick Ups

Sprouts is a fantastic go-to for your staples and quick items on the run. It's easy to pop in for a cold kombucha, green drinks, salads or a few needed items on your list. One significant difference is that Sprouts doesn't have a salad bar / hot bar. But there's plenty to fill your meal planning needs and lunches on the go. You can even build your own sandwich.

Quiet and Pleasant

One of our favorite things about Sprouts is the calm atmosphere. Most grocery stores can be a little crowded, busy and over-stimulating. Sprouts is relaxing and quiet. Possibly due to less traffic, but this is a real win. Getting in and out of a store in under 10 minutes without stress or hassles is huge.

Practical Tip

There are plenty of desserts at the front of the store. You might want to steer clear of that section. But overall, you'll find an incredible shopping experience if you're focused on your health.

Sprouts has locations throughout Raleigh and Durham. The reviews are excellent. And check out their Facebook page for the latest promotions and food tips.
