For those of you who are starting off 2018 with goals related to health & wellness, kudos to you! It’s a perfect time of year to get into a new routine. As far as better nutrition, just remember that it’s up to you to purchase good items at the store and eat your meals and snacks throughout the day to prevent yourself from getting too hungry!
The biggest struggle for individuals seems to be meal planning. Typically, dinner is the hardest for most families. With activities in the evening and coordinating when everyone will be home, planning dinner can be difficult. Others may struggle planning for dinner if they are cooking for just 1 or 2 people as well. Continue reading
New Dietitian’s Choice Program to Launch
We’re excited about our new program, Dietitian’s Choice, launching in Coborn’s stores this fall!
Grocery shopping can be stressful when shopping for nutritious foods. The new Dietitian’s Choice program easily calls out foods that support healthier choices during your shopping. To find those items, look for the “Dietitian’s Choice” logo on shelf tags located throughout the store. More than 5,500 items have been selected as better-for-you options.
After reviewing recommendations from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, American Heart Association, FDA, USDA, World Health Organization, Mayo Clinic and Harvard School of Public Health, our supermarket dietitians established guidelines for “better-for-you” options.
CentraCare Health, with hospitals and clinics throughout Minnesota, has endorsed the Dietitian’s Choice program as well. Endorsement of the program by Central Minnesota’s premier health care provider affirms the quality of the Dietitian’s Choice program. It also demonstrates CentraCare’s ongoing commitment to partnering with community organizations to improve the overall health and wellness of the greater Central Minnesota region. Its endorsement adds credibility to the program in further promoting healthy lifestyles.
These guidelines will serve the general population. If you have any concerns for a special diet, please reach out to any of our supermarket dietitians.
Dietitian’s Choice can be found in all Coborn’s, Cash Wise and Marketplace Foods locations. Be sure to look for the blue logo on our shelf tags the next time you visit one of our stores.
The criteria for the selected Dietitian’s Choice items focus on:
Whole grains
Little to no added sugar
Lower in saturated fat
Lower sodium
Lean protein
Healthy fats

First a little tutorial about flax seeds… Flax is a super seed grown mostly in Canada, North Dakota and South Dakota. Minnesota and Wisconsin also produce flax.
Canada is the leading producer of brown flax seed and the Dakota’s tend to produce more of the golden flax. There is little difference in the two colors but many prefer the gold because it is easier to sneak into recipes, the brown is more visible in those muffins! Continue reading

Hey all- in my world- its grilling season already! We have had a few nice days and you can bet my grill was out cooking away! There is nothing more appetizing than the smell of freshly grilled food!
As I have mentioned in the past, grilling is a healthy way to prepare your foods for several reasons. When we plan to grill most of the time, the main focus is on the meat or the protein portion of the meal and we sometimes forget about the veggies and fruit. Why not grill those veggies too- its gives them a wonderful flavor as well and YES you can definitely grill those fruits. I think you all got that point that we can grill just about any produce item whether its fruits or veggies- the more the better! Remember at least half your plate at every meal!
Try unique ones for the grill- cabbage, salad- yes I said salad, okra and even figs.
The challenge that exists is how to add color to those main courses or the protein options. So let me help with that:
You can grill for any meal occasion, from dessert, to lunch- salad with grilled veggies and a side of some fresh frilled bread topped with a gourmet cheese? Count me in!
I hope you are inspired to try some new ideas and recipes! I know I am! Food is never boring!
Peace and Wellness,
Ashley Kibutha, RD, LD
