What's in Elizabeth
Hasselbeck's shopping cart?
This
bubbly co-host of The View is an avid label reader, but
she's not simply scoping out fat grams and calories. "Last
year I learned that I had celiac disease, an autoimmune
condition that leaves me unable to digest gluten, a protein
found in a lot of grains," says Hasselbeck, who's
expecting her second child this month. "Shopping is
more of a challenge these days, but I can still find delicious
food."
She never has to worry about there being gluten in fruits
and vegetables, including her current favorite, green grapes. "As
a kid, I loved the red ones from my grandmother's vine," she
says. "Now I prefer green because they're more refreshing
and tart."
Hasselbeck's top protein sources–eggs, chicken, and
turkey–are also naturally gluten-free. In addition
she relies on the following speciality products: Amy's
Bowls ($4; at all supermarkets), Think Thin Bars ($2),
and Pacific Organic Free Range Chicken Broth ($3).
Elizabeth's Top Picks
"When my hubby orders takeout, I
heat up an Amy's bowl."
