One of the ways it helps to be successful with this way of eating is to always have good fall back items around for when you get lazy, because you know it’s going to happen. I’m always looking for a good, well-stocked store with forward-thinking items that manage don’t all have to succumb to the usual eye-rolling additions of extra sugar or oil. Sugar Beet Food Co-Op in Oak Park, IL is just such the place. I was impressed but this compact, but well-stocked store’s abundance of bulk items, unusual ingredients for those on a WFPB diet. A well-curated selection of local, fair trade, high quality products makes this store a stand out and one I would look for ward to visiting again in the future. It’s a little far out of the way for every day traffic, but I won’t hesitate to keep it in mind for my future shopping needs when I am on the far west side.
