Fooducate App Update – My Food Choice Switches!

May 13, 2014 By Marlene Leave a Comment

Fooducate App Update - My Food Choice Switches!

I just had to update you on the Fooducate App that I told you guys about last week!  Ok I have had sooo much fun scanning things (I am making my husband a little nuts!)… it is just another step in educating myself to healthy options.  Some were real eyeopeners, I got some Veggie De-Lites muffins and thought it was a good selection for my specific food plan but found out that by scanning they have a lot of sugar per serving and that gave them a low score.

So one of my favorites that I have mentioned is Vitalicious double chocolate Vita-Tops and the mini muffins,  I crossed my fingers as I scanned and they were given a B +. Whew thank heavens I love those for a snack especially when I am craving chocolate!  I have made some simple changes this week after scanning some of my regular products.

Here are the ratings from my foods to my NEW foods.

Food From My Pantry:

  • Banquet fully cooked turkey sausage links  rated C      
  • Land of Lakes light butter with canola oil   rated D+    
  • Smart Balance creamy Peanut Butter  did well at a B        

Switched to:

  • Switched to Jimmy Dean fully cooked turkey sausage links   given B-
  • Switched to Land O’Lakes spreadable butter with canola oil  given C+
  • Decided to  switch to Mara Natha creamy Almond Butter which was  given A

I love that when you scan it gives you healthier alternatives, I switched my regular creamer to Coconut milk french vanilla creamer for a higher rating.  Now I have to admit I was a little skeptical about it but it really tastes great, but you have to like coconut flavor!

Fooducate App Update - My Food Choice Switches!

Now don’t get me wrong I know these are not huge differences but since I am learning how to make the best choices this App has been perfect.  It reaffirmed that some of my favorites such as Quinoa Tabouli that I get from Costco which I love is indeed a good choice rated it B+ and gave it a comment of  Nice! 100% whole grain.

So am I telling you to not buy any of these products of course not but it gives you something to think about.  Scan on!
