Shopping Guide 2019 - Food

New styles of healthy eating continue to emerge as “vegan” continues to be one of the top trending Google searches globally, and food delivery continues to grow as consumers want more convenience. Since low-carb, high-fat diets (also known as Keto) are here to stay for 2020, Magic Spoon’s cereal combines health and taste for a Keto-friendly, high protein breakfast to start your day. From fresh and local groceries to weeknight meal kits, Good Eggs has it all and is available in most Bay Area cities.  Looking to learn to cook in the New Year? Salted’s subscription-based online cooking tutorials will bring the best of the best from the culinary world right to your kitchen.
