    Fruit...I like to get whatever looks good or is on sale and cut it all up and put it a big bowl in the fridge for a fresh fruit salad that I eat at some point everyday.
    Carrots...I like to make the big ones into carrot sticks. They seem to taste more carroty to me somehow than the baby cut kind.
    Natural nut butter...I alternate between almond and peanut
    Egg Whites
    Feta or Goat cheese
    Baby spinach, tomato, green onions,,,I like to throw this combo into my egg whites in the morning.

    Those are my current must haves. I'm trying or thinkng of incorporating...

    Yogurt cheese...the kind you make from draining greek yogurt
    Ezekial Bread...seems to be cleaner than other breads I see in the stores
    Hummus...I'm trying to get away from processed spreads, like Miracle Whip, so I'm thinking I can put this on Sandwiches or wraps
