Southern Nevada: Active Adults Shop for Health and Flavor

Active Adults Shop for Health and Flavor

Get Shopping for Health and Flavor in the Las Vegas Valley

Veg Out Las Vegas offers an Oatmeal Burger

After listening to AARP Radio with Nutritionist Joyce Boyer, a regular on NBC's Today Show, the 2009 airing of "Healthy Grocery Shopping Can be Simple", inspired me to seek out options available in the Las Vegas Valley. Active adults know diet and nutrition are priorities to enjoy their lifestyle. What do the cities of Las Vegas, Henderson, and North Las Vegas offer in Nevada for health and flavor?

Las Vegas Valley Farmers Markets

Farmers Markets are located every day of the week across the Las Vegas Valley. Fresh52 is a lively, friendly, open air farmers market where neighbors and friends come together to celebrate their community. The Tivoli Village location at Rampart Boulevard and Alta Drive is one of my favorite weekly events to attend. I enjoy the selection of produce, crafts, the surroundings, and the amenities of Tivoli Village.

 

 

Vegetarian Meals to Go

One of my favorite finds at the Fresh52 Farmer's Market is Veg Out Las Vegas. Owners, Stephanie and Justin genuinely care about the vegetarian meals they create each week. Take home a selection of sauces, dips, soups, sandwich fillings, entrees and desserts to stock in  your refrigerator and freezer. A sauce like Creamy Basil Pesto (no added fat) with pasta, Lemon Broccoli Soup (no added fat), fresh green salad from the farmer's market produce and 100% Whole Wheat Chocolate Cake (no added fat) is one meal plan you can have at your easy access. Stephanie and Justin also like my recommendation for The Perfect Scoop (handmade vegan ice creams).  "They can make you a vegan ice cream brownie sundae made with Veg Out's decadent Sea Salt Brownies." One of the best ways to stay in contact with Veg Out Las Vegas is to follow their postings on Facebook which provide you with weekly menu updates and a host of photos to lure you to their locations.
