Food items you heard about on MFP and tried

PB2 or Just Great Stuff powdered peanut butters, LOVE (I mix with it and use with water as "peanut butter"
nutritonal yeast, LOVE to add to soups and stews
spaghetti squash, LOVE every way I've tried it
Greek yogurt (ditto what someone said about Chobani's blood orange, OMG!), I cannot say enough!
kale, I will stick to spinach which I love
Protein supplements (powders, bars, shakes, etc.) LOVE if you can find ones that you like (I use all natural ones with no hormones and no artificial sweeteners--Jay Robb is my favorite!!!)
Soy milk, I do like vanilla unsweetened organic non-GMO, but I LOVE my fresh from the dairy milk more

Might be more, this is off the top of my head!

bump

I got nuthin.

you can get LOTS of ideas by perusing other people's diaries...
grateful for those who open them- I really had NO clue what
to even buy that was *healthy* in the beginning.

My best keepers:

Dannon Oikos Plain yogurt- sweetened with stevia

Plain UNsweetened almond mik- sweetened with stevia and imitation vanilla

Laughing Cow Light Cheese Wedges and UNsalted rice cakes

*********
I can't handle aspartame (>>>wicked migraines) and I have to really watch salt intake

Almond milk - love the unsweetened vanilla on my cereal and using it for baking / smoothies.
Greek yogurt - love with honey after a workout or mixed into pretty much anything.
Ben & Jerry's ice cream - heard of it before MFP but never tried it until I came here - best ice cream I've ever had.

I've really learned a lot and want to thank folks who have opened their diaries and/or shared experiences and recipes in the forums.

Refrigerator oatmeal, Just Great Stuff powdered organic chocolate peanut butter, greek yogurt and kale chips. Mmmmm.

Bacon I never tried it until so many on MFP said I should. Now it's my favorite healthy food.

'Healthy Food'???? :noway:

Don't hate on bacon. In reasonable quantities, it's da bomb

Oh Lordy no! I don't hate it! I adore bacon, but I never considered it healthy. :laugh:

I tried a recipe tonight that I got from this site last week, Chicken Bombs. The wife and I both say its a keeper.

Two scrambled eggs mixed with a mashed banana. Fry it like a pancake. Two hundred some calories and fills you up great.

Yes! This is awesome!!

glad you like it.. however 2 aunt jemima pancakes is about 300 cals, no? I kinda think once in a while won't hurt the diet..

for me it was almond milk..now it is a staple in my house..

Haven't tried it yet, but where do find PB2?
and quinoa haven't tried it yet either.

Interested in both though

Please tell me . . . . where do you find PB2?

If you have Kroger..I have seen it there.

stevia and steel cut oats

I love stevia and how much better it is for me than equal or sweet and low.

I love steel cut oats but they are a bit pricey and sometimes hard to find at my grocers.

Hands down favorite: Brummel and Brown yogurt spread. It spreads easily, tastes like butter, and 45 calories in a tablespoon. Love it!

Quest bars and almond milk are two other staples suggested by other MFPers.
