    Quark! Perfect for mousses/cheesecake/quiches, 20g of protein in a 150cal DESSERT - it's amazing :)

    Where did you guys find it? I ate it all the time when I lived in Germany and I haven't found it in the US!

    Quinoa, greek yoghurt, oatmeal, peanut butter and cottage cheese. I never eat any of these until about 18 months ago. Now they're the main staples in my diet.

    For me, it's fresh herbs. I've always liked fresh herbs and spices, but I didn't realize how many nutritional benefits they can offer. Having my own basil plant is awesome; I can just pick and throw a few leaves of basil on top of my salad and the flavor's so strong/fabulous that I don't need dressing! Plus, it's a natural antibiotic and it's full of iron, which I'm often low on. There are lots of other herbs and spices I love lately, too. When trying to eat healthy, they are a lifesaver because they keep everyday dishes from tasting bland.

    I had to google some of the above foods. Never heard of Quark, fage or mochi. Interesting.

    I am so glad I am not the only one!!!

    mainly, how delicious and satisfying (most) whole/real foods are.

    and how to home-make those yummy staples of 'processed' foods I couldn't quite give up: peanut (now almond) butter, fruit jams w no sugar added, ketchup, salsa, yogurt, pizza...

    Halva (or Halvah). It's like a delicious "fudge" made out of sesame seed paste. My favourite is the marble one, made with chocolate.

    Most supermarkets in the UK sell it - it's usually located in an aisle with the goat's cheese/Camembert/continental cheeses.

    It's a virtually fat-free soft-cheese, it has a bit of a yoghurty texture but I put it in savoury dishes without a problem or just add some aspartame sweetener to it/mix it with some natural yoghurt when I use it in sweet dishes!
