I love this idea!! Support your local businesses more this year! Shout out to the local farm here in Santa Barbara John Givens @somethinggoodorganics and to the IV Coop Market @islavistafoodcoop for supplying our residents with the BEST produce and goods available. Always fresh and delicious with superb deals on pricing. You both have made my healthy living endeavors easier and doable!!! What's your favorite local business that has made an impact on your life? Tag someone and say why you love them!! #smallbusiness #localbusiness #farms #markets #produce #healthyliving #support #community #ivcoop #johngivensfarm #goleta #santabarbara #share #inspire

Lunch for two for 3 days, less than $20!!! I shop at the local market (Isoa Vista Co-op) because they have farm fresh produce and healthier (less-processed) dry goods for great prices. Here's the recipe! Took us 30 mins to chop and cook. ☀ Cook 1 1/2 cups quinoa ☀ steam veggies (added dried basil!) ☀ Saute garlic, onion and mushrooms ☀ Add all to bed of greens ☀ Top with pinch of salt or olive oil #mealprep #recipe #lunch #onthego #easy #affordable #healthymeals #wholefood #plantbased #localmarket #localproduce #ivcoop #veggies #healing #preventative #nutrition #foodmatters #eatwell #feelbetter #dobetter #share #inspire ➡➡ Tip!! Buddy up 😄 My Ninja partner @galexr makes meal prepping super fun and easy, I appreciate you darling 💓💓💓

Ingredients for the Tasting last night 😍😍 most produce was from John Givens farm here in SB and Goleta!! Give them a try at your next farmers market visit! Also from IV Co-op, with a great selection of local produce, which means higher nutrient content, and other goods like this tasty tofu and the coconut oil! Get it fresh and you'll taste the difference immediately. Large chain stores tend to get their stuff shipped or trucked over, so it can be about a week old, and sometimes rippened through chemical processes. Maybe that's why you don't enjoy fresh produce, if that's you! #farmersmarket #ivcoop #localproduce #fresh #nutrientrich #supportfarms #buylocal #foodfacts #plantsallday #yesyoucan #behealthy #happy #inspireothers @somethinggoodorganics

Why shop at the Co-op market in IV? I talked to a super sweet general manager today, who mentioned that Whole foods and Sprouts tend to be more expensive or at least the same. ➡➡ What you get for your money is what matters. Here at the #ivcoop the produce is fresh picked and local, which many chains can't do as well. You also support our local community businesses!! Plus you'll see me and @galexr every day 😂😂 Wins all around 🙌🙌🙌 #healthy #community #santabarbara #goleta #localmarket #freahproduce #organic #foodmatters #smallbusiness #cooperative #islavista #eatwell #support #inspireothers (at Isla Vista Food Co-op)

It's pretty simple really. You are what you eat. Support your local growers. All locally grown produce and veggies. Do you know where your food comes from??? #nogmo #localfarms #tricounty805 #santabarbara #goleta #sb #thegoodland #tricounty #IVCoop #goodlandkitchen #eatwell #fckmonsanto
