These are my current delicious, healthy food obsessions (not an exhaustive list by any means!):
01. Trader Joe's nonfat Greek-style plain yogurt: So creamy, so dreamy with a spoonful of honey swirled in!
02. Hummus "deviled" eggs: 2 Hard boiled eggs sliced lengthwise, with yolks removed. Add 2 tbsp. of your favorite hummus and dust with paprika. A high protein, low calorie snack! (this one is my sister's idea!)
03. Dried mango: Be sure to buy unsweetened varieties, mango has a natural light sweetness.
04. Inca red quinoa: I can't say enough good things about this miracle grain! It is a complete protein, and because of this has some good fats. Be sure to store in fridge because it can go rancid.
05. White bean and kale soup: I am always trying to trick myself into eating more dark leafy greens, and this soup makes it easy! Filling and delicious. Will post a recipe soon but there are so many versions of it already out there.
06. Trader Joe's reduced fat spinach pie: Found in the freezer section, it bakes in about an hour and is really yummy. We always end up with leftovers too!
07. Bananas: Perfection.
08. Equal Exchange dark chocolate bar with mint: I never thought I would go for a mint bar, but holy WOW this is a good chocolate bar! Dark chocolate is lower in sugar and a great way to satisfy a sweet tooth.
09. Sweet potatoes: They are pretty much my favorite food. I can eat them baked plain, or cut into strips roasted with olive oil, salt & pepper, or as breakfast potatoes cut into cubes and cooked with onions and cayenne.... so many ways to enjoy them!
10. Green tea: Perfect for that afternoon pick-me-up, it doesn't have as much caffeine so it doesn't keep me up at night.
11. Trader Joe's multi-grain tortillas: They are so good, and soft! Great for sandwich wraps, which are quick and easy for lunch on the go.
12. Morningstar Farms veggie sausage patties: These are the BEST. For some reason, they are better than the links.... Trust.
13. White wine "spritzers": Half a glass of wine with half sparkling water or club soda. Refreshing and cuts the calories from that wine in half. Just don't rink too many....
14. Frozen brussels sprouts: For some reason, they are always good, and really cheap to keep on hand. I defrost them, cut in half, and then cook on the stove with olive oil, salt & pepper until they start to brown. So good!
15. Nuts: I pre-measure 1/4 cup of mixed nuts and seeds- mostly raw and unsalted- into a sandwich bag and keep it in my purse for when munchies strike.
16. Nature's Hilights brown rice pizza crust: A gluten-free crust you can find in the freezer section at Whole Foods. They are thin, and kind of weird and chewy, but I love them. I keep them on hand and pile them with veggies and almost no cheese.
17. Ezekiel sprouted grains english muffins: So filling! Can be kept in the freezer, which is always a plus.
18. Multigrain rice thin crackers: Small, lightly salty, delicious. Perfect little crackers.
19. Rapunzel vegan vegetable bouillon with no salt added: My favorite, this way I can control the salt in my soup!
20. Short grain brown rice: For some reason, the texture is superior to long grain. Just so good!
