Some of The Healthiest Foods at Fresh Madison Market

December 27, 2016

At Fresh Madison Market, we have thousands of food options for you to choose from.  Some of them are healthier than others, and some of them are best eaten in moderation.  To help you select some of the healthiest options for 2017, we have put together a list of foods that are rated among the best in terms of nutritional value, with many items on special.

ALMONDS

Almonds are an superb source of monounsaturated fat and are considered an excellent source of protein.  Add almonds to one of our Earthbound Organic Salads, on special this week for $1.99, and boost your protein intake.   

BERRIES

Whether you’re eating blackberries loaded with antioxidants that improve brain functioning, or blueberries packed with vision-protecting vitamin C, it’s hard to go wrong by adding one of these super foods to your diet. Recent research published in the Journal of Medicinal Food found that berries (specifically strawberries, raspberries and blueberries) have properties that can help lower your risk of breast and cervical cancer.  Eat them fresh, or add frozen berries to any smoothie for a delicious drink.

CHICKEN BREAST

A boneless, skinless chicken breast is an excellent source of lean protein and a terrific source of coenzyme Q10, which is essential for skin cell turnover. Its protein is composed of 18 different amino acids and contains no carbohydrates, making it the perfect food for muscles.  Open Acres Chicken Breasts are on sale this week for $2.99.

YOGURT

What’s the best way to eat dairy and maintain a healthy weight? Research points strongly to yogurt. Numerous studies have linked the consumption of yogurt to better digestive health as well as an overall lower percent of body fat. Make sure to check the labels since certain yogurts can contain a lot of sugar. So your best bet may be to buy Greek yogurt.  Chobani Yogurt is on sale this week for $.89/each.
