I don't know if it's just me, but I love to see what other people get for groceries especially people who eat healthy. I have made quite a few changes to my diet and I will show you what changes I have made and why I chose certain items as a "must have always".
First off you can see the almond milk (35 cals. a glass) back there, I switched from skim milk (about 70 cals. a glass). I have tuna...which is great for lunches, adds a lot of protein. I also try to get foods that will add some other great tastes to my meals, like the honey (adding a sweet touch to anything), the apple cider vinegar which I use as a salad dressing - soooo good :). I also use egg whites now, but occasionally I will use an egg with yoke to mix it up a bit. Low-fat cottage cheese (great for breakfast), raspberries for flavor. Green onion for adding great flavor to any meal. Now do you see that white pink thing in the back? Those are asian noodles made of beans! Isn't that fantastic? If you don't want to eat as much carbs but still want pasta, then this is a great solution (Vermicelli) Now the kiwi is there because I sometimes have a hard time eating certain types of fruit...for example I like grapes so I"ll end up buying them but never eating them all, I don't know why I do this but I do...SO I decided that I will buy the fruit I know I will eat like kiwi, watermelon, any mellon, and strawberries. I love these fruit so why not just buy the fruit I will actually end up eating.
I like to get mixed leaves for my salads. Pickles :) to add flavor. Tomatoes are great with cottage cheese and pepper. Green apples for snacks. Greek plain yogurt gives a nice zesty taste to your fruit smoothies. Peppers are great in my salads, and for stir fries and egg white omelets. Finally one of the last things you can see there are some spices. This again is to add to some meals that seem too plain, it gives it a little something extra. My favorite is dill or Italian seasoning...I love mixing them with my tuna.
This of course is not ALL I eat...there is lots more but these are my must haves and essentials for helping me to eat healthier and to enjoy my meals along the way.
That Greek yogurt is amazingly delicious (def not low fat tho!)
ReplyDeleteI like eating roasted garlic hummus for snacks (ESP at work) with wholewheat crackers or pitas or carrot sticks. I find it gives me tons of energy!
