Hi!

Looking to spice up my shopping list and thought this might be a fun way to share ideas. What are your must haves? Mine are probably fish (the only meat I eat), hummus, wheat bread, and tofu.

    I really love vital wheat gluten. I haven't used it to make seitan yet, but I make my wraps and pizza crusts with it as I'm diabetic and shouldn't eat bread.

    I've been searching for the lowest calorie bread options. So far I think that Joseph's flax, oat bran & whole wheat pitas win with only 60 calories for a full pita.

    I've also been searching for tasty low cal desserts. I really enjoy options like no sugar added tapioca or rice pudding, because they have a little protein in them, so they aren't just empty calorie holes.

    I go through phases but at the moment my must haves for snacking are mini single sized serving pots of houmous & ryvita thins & mini cornettos! love them!.

    More generally, at the top of my weekly shopping list I always have lots of mixed leafy salad leaves, little gem lettuces, sweet potatoes, parsnips, carrots, cabbage, sweetcorn, plenty of lean protein (whatever is on offer), spring onions, mini peppers, lots of whatever fruit is in season/on offer & always the basics, milk, bread, eggs.
