Fridge Grocery
Our Fresh refrigerated products
Most items are in 5 main categories and all products are Natural and/or Organic!
Alternative Dairy
Maybe you’re thinking about going vegan, so you need some vegan dairy substitutes, or maybe you’re allergic to milk and looking for lactose-free dairy substitutes or trying to keep kosher. Whatever your reason, reducing the amount of dairy in your diet can be a healthy way to lower your fat and cholesterol intake. Our knowledgeable Registered Holistic Nutritionists on staff can help you learn about dairy substitutes, including non-dairy milk, non-dairy butter/margarine, non-dairy cheese, non-dairy sour cream, non-dairy ice cream and more.
Alternative Meat
If you’re a new vegetarian (or vegan!), you may want to try experimenting with vegetarian meat. Vegetarian meat is made from soy, gluten, vegetables or a combination of those three main ingredients. The vegetarian meat is shaped, prepared, spiced and coloured to resemble real meat. Although many vegetarian meats are vegan, some do contain egg and traces of dairy, so check the label if you are sensitive to or avoid these foods and need your vegetarian meat to be vegan as well. ASK our RHN’s if you have questions.
Many conventional meat alternatives at the grocery store are made with a lot of questionable ingredients, colourings, have a high sodium content, etc. So, as always READ THE LABEL and compare to Sequoia’s natural and organic selections.
Condiments
There is no sense putting unhealthy toppings on your healthy food! We stock natural and organic selections of relish, sauerkraut, salad dressing, vegenaise, miso, etc.
Dairy
Drinks
According to the studies at the Harvard School of Public Health what we are drinking is a major contributor to the obesity epidemic. Two out of three adults and one out of three children are overweight or obese. Rising consumption of sugary drinks has been a major contributor to the obesity epidemic. A typical 20-ounce soda contains 15 to 18 teaspoons of sugar and upwards of 240 calories. A 64-ounce fountain cola drink could have up to 700 calories. People who drink this “liquid candy” do not feel as full as if they had eaten the same calories from solid food and do not compensate by eating less.
Look in our DRINKS cooler and find a healthy alternative for you and your family. You will find various brands and flavours of Kombucha, almond milk, coconut water, herbal water, Perrier, natural green tea, natural energy drinks, smoothies, juices, etc….. All natural and/or Organic !!
Soup
The most common excuses for not eating healthy food is 1) Time, and 2) Convenience.
Soup is a great solution to both. Unfortunately most conventional grocery store soup is loaded with additive, preservatives and sodium.
Sequoia’s solution is Canadian made, natural and organic of course.
Available is a dozen flavours for everyday of the week. Just pour in a pot and heat up. And the bag zips shut for multiple servings. This should keep you out of the drive-thrus!
