Yesterday I tried oatmeal for the very first time and I LOVE it! I ate the Active Lifestyle Almond & Cranberry for breakfast this morning. Delicious. Right now I'm eating the Dannon Oikos Plain Greek Nonfat Yogurt. The texture is kind of weird, and it's a bit tart, so I added a packet of Splenda for some flavor! It's really good though.

    Diet Pepsi. Other than that, most other diet friendly foods aren't palatable to me with the exceptions of some snacks.

    I make my own kick *ss salads! Right now my favorite lunch salad (all prepared from home) is:

    1) baby spinach
    2) cabbage cole slaw mix (just the veggies, no sauce)
    3) green onion
    4) Strawberries
    5) blueberries
    6) kiwi
    and a fat free dressing (Honey Dijon by Maple Grove Farms of Vermont is tasty!)- they have a good poppy seed too!

    To switch it up:
    use mangos and bell peppers instead of the fruit! Awesome!!!

    Unsweetened Almond Milk. It's lower in calories than milk and doesn't upset my stomach.

    I tried this and found I couldn't do it. I settle with vanilla because it still has a little less sugar than the fruit flavors.

    I try to keep a batch of my homemade guacamole in the fridge, most times. It has magical, transformative properties when applied to other foods. Mine has diced tomato, minced shallot, lime juice, and a bit of salt, in addition to the avocado (which I mash, because the texture is so much better than blended). I use the stuff on everything, from tortilla chips (I like Tostitos Artisan ones. Roasted Garlic and Black Bean is the best!), to lean chicken burgers, sandwiches and wraps (in place of even fattier things like sour cream, mayo, butter, and even cheese). It is also really good topped on an omelet! I make an egg white omelet with sliced crimini mushroom, green onion, fresh ground pepper and salt. It tastes good on its own, but the guac brings it to another level.

    Oh, and hummus. I love hummus.

    Chocolate Rice Milk; It helps to satisfy my sweet tooth.
    Cheesy Celery - Rice Milk Cheddar Cheese shredded over celery and heated just enough to melt the cheese in the microwave. (Yummy!)
    These are my current favorite foods! :)

    Ann's House Good Health Energy Blend. Natural Almonds, soybeans, pumpkin seeds, and dried cranberries... no salt. I had never tried any of them, except almonds, before trying the mix.
