Regular Items On Your Shopping List?????

Options
Hello!

I am still relatively new to the site and I was just wondering what items everybody seems to pick up as the regulars on their shopping list?

Mine seems to be bananas every time I'm out!
• Pine Nuts
• Fish
• Broccoli
• Red Onions
• Grapes



P.S, I was also wondering if it would be worth adding Peanut Butter to my diet? (My diary is open) I know I need to add some more fibre and need to cut the chocolate and Innocent Fruit Drinks too by the way. But some healthy high calorie foods would be much appreciated as I'm generally not hungry enough to always meet my goal.

    Almond butter, cashew butter, and other nut butters can be purchased just about anywhere. I personally don't like the texture of almond butter, and the cost of the cashew butter makes me afraid to buy it just to try it. Some stores like Central Market and Whole Foods have bulk food sections where you can buy fresh ground nut butters, and you can probably get smaller quantities there to try.

    I really like the PB2 products - these are powdered peanut butter that have 90% of the fat removed, all you do is add water to make a paste that is very similar in taste and consistency to regular peanut butter for far fewer calories. They make a chocolate PB2 also, which I did buy, and I love it. You can get it at WalMart where I live.

    I always have lots of frozen vegetables on hand (I shop at Sam's a lot) - you can get steamable bags of veggies and go to town, eat the whole bag for not many calories as long as you don't add a lot of butter or cheese, and then round out your meal with a lean protein like chicken or fish.

    Get lots of spices, and try some of the recipes on this and other sites like SparkPeople.

    Lots of leafy green vegetables.
    Strawberries, bananas
    Almond Milk - low fat vanilla or plain (only 45 calories per serving)
    Plain and Vanilla lowfat greek yogurt. Use the plain for dips, marinades, and sauces that would otherwise call for sour cream. Use the vanilla for smoothies, with fruit, as a topping instead of whipped cream.
    Flax seed - although since I was diagnosed with estrogen-positive breast cancer, I found out that flax seed can stimulate estrogen, so I will regrettably have to stop using it. Otherwise, it's a great way to add protein and fiber into a lot of foods.
    I LOVE Dannon Light & Fit non-fat greek yogurt - it's only 80 cal/serving and tastes great without being sickeningly sweet like Yoplait and some of the other yogurts.
    Boneless skinless chicken breasts, and tilapia filets. Individually frozen if you can get them, or invest in a FoodSaver and freeze them yourself. Makes food prep for 1 so much easier.

    Invest in a good knife set (a 7 or 8 inch chopping knife is essential) and go to town on your veggies. Also, if you have a good knife, you can slice meats in much thinner slices. Try 1 or 2 ounces of grilled beef on your next salad, it's awesome!
