It’s a #knowledgebomb day. You’ve been warned.

Today, I’m talkin’ 6 common food and drinks that are heavily marketed to you as being—air quote “healthy” —-options, are actually TOTALLY processed foods. And therefore things you should be aware of. Especially when it’s just as easy to pick a better replacement.

It’s time to get educated my darling friends.

Listening to food marketing is one of the most confusing and misleading ways that we’re instinctually taught to think about food. And learning how to filter out the actually good food from their imposters is such a necessary skill if you want to eat healthy and live healthy as a daily lifestyle.

So, do yourself a favor and watch this little video I put together for you– are you eating any of these 6 foods on daily basis and thinking that you’re doing yourself a favor with a “healthier” choice? What these foods are are, why they’re not so great for you, and what to replace them with instead, all included in today’s video post.

Curious? Well, watch + learn here.
