What are your healthy "must have" foods in your home?? I'd love more excellent ideas (:
For me it's:
Cottage Cheese
Greek Yogurt
Bananas
Eggs
Sucralose
Coffee!! (ok so neither healthy nor not healthy but still)
And the list could go on... Others?

    Ah! Holy crap I can't believe I forgot to put peanut butter... lol
    That... if one has read any of my posts is my obsession.. talk about it constantly when it comes to food..
    Ha. Anyhow. Awesome stuff. I agree with having chicken as well. So good in protein.

    - canned black beans
    - canned chick peas
    - canned chipotle peppers
    - spices (to turn the beans into fun convenience foods)
    - salsa
    - cans of diced tomatoes
    - whatever fresh fruit i'm craving (peaches, pineapple, apples, blueberries, strawberries)
    - frozen fruit (mango, strawberries are my can't live without two!) for smoothies
    - ground flax seed (to add to the aforementioned smoothies)
    - i go CRAZY on boneless, skinless chicken breast & pork tenderloin whenever it's on sale
    - crystal light (for when i have "pop" type cravings)

    & last but not least... PLENTY of reusable water bottles & containers so I can batch cook and easily take food to work.

    Mmm.. yeah I use flax seed here and there.. it's ok. I use it to up my protein a bit but it's honestly not that high in it and has more carbs and calories than I care to add. If it had more protein than that would be another story. Carbs are good. If ate properly.
    I honestly would like to get some protein powder here someday.

    These are all awesome...
    I also love cauliflower.. don't think anyone put that. It's way good in all sorts of ways.
    I've never had hummus before... so.. Idk about it.
    And I have no idea what quark is.
    Love the ideas though (: most listed I agree with and have as well.
