Remember that first time you tasted sushi? Or when you suddenly became hooked on kombucha (even though you initially thought, "What the hell is this?")? Trying new things, especially food-related, gives your life a surprisingly wonderful boost. And you know what's best? You don't have to be a culinary whiz to try it. Countless discoveries are waiting for you in your trusted supermarket.
Why you sometimes need to deviate from your standard list
Your grocery list is often on autopilot, isn't it? The same old bread, that bucket of Greek yogurt, and that jar of peanut butter. Nice and safe, but also rather boring. New flavors stimulate your senses, challenge you, and make eating a little celebration again. And that doesn't have to be complicated or expensive.
-
New products keep you curious and that's healthy!
- Variety in food = variety in nutrients, so good for your body (not everything).
- Your tastes change , so things you previously disliked may suddenly become favorites.
What's more, with such a small discovery, you give yourself an unexpected moment of happiness. Something that makes your day just a little bit more fun. A new drink that turns out surprisingly delicious, a snack with an unusual flavor—it's those little things that make it simply enjoyable.
On a micro-adventure at the Appie
A new Angelhair chocolate bar , barbecue donuts, whole wheat orzo (for your Pastina, "Italian penicillin" ), or eh... Screamers Souracha?!... The supermarket is seriously like a mini-world trip these days. And the great thing is: if you don't like it, it's no big deal. But if you do like something, you might just have a new favorite.
Try approaching it this way:
-
Every week, choose one new product that you've never bought before.
-
Be surprised by limited editions, often only available for a short time!
-
Take a look outside your usual aisles. Literally.
-
Ask a friend what they recently discovered, surprisingly inspiring!
-
Make a list of 'things to try someday' and work through it in a playful manner.
