The Essential Pantry
The Essential Pantry
The quick fix for boring foods, whether you’re cleansing, healing your gut, or just living your life, can be found in your pantry. Want to know which pantry essentials can keep you healthy and well-fed? I’ve got you covered.
Below the Essential Pantry List you’ll find a complete shopping list for Thrive Market to make your pantry stocking as quick, easy and and painless as possible!
2 Notes:
Buy organic as much as possible. Because pantry staples quickly become something you eat every day, selecting organic staples becomes really important to minimize your exposure to pesticides, GMO foods and other damaging chemicals.
BPA free cans: according to my research, most foods are now packaged in BPA free cans whether they’re listed as such or not. However, when possible select options that specifically state that they’re BPA free or shop preferentially with companies you know and trust for their high quality food.
BPA is a chemical that has known reproductive, immune, and neurological consequences. Avoid it as much as possible.

Cocoa: simple cocoa powder, with no added ingredients, makes a delicious and superfood-superhealthy nighttime drink that will change your life if you suffer from nighttime sugar cravings! I warm up some nondairy unsweetened milk and pour over cocoa powder with a dash of stevia. Try adding a touch of cinnamon, curry powder, or another spice for even more superfood benefits!
