Today I had a bit of a super yummy day but of course it was healthy. (My diary is open to view.) I'm starting to really love eating much healthier.. I hardly ever think about fast food or white carbs anymore! If I ever have a craving for something towards the "junk" don't get me wrong, I'll have a cheat meal once in a while. Can't be too hard on yourself people!! All your hard work is earned :)


So MFP..... What's your HEALTHY favorite food / snack / condiment you just have to.. haaave everyday?

Lol mine is ALMOND BUTTER!! :) I swear it's logged a couple times in my diary everyday haha :) trader joes raw unsalted almond butter is so good, healthy & addicting. And I never feel guilty having "too much" of it as long as my calories aren't over!

***Other favorites are....
- Kashi Go Lean with almond milk
- Quaker Weight Control Maple & Brown Sugar oatmeal
- Trader Joes multigrain mini pita bite crackers with flax seed
- Sara Lee 45 cals per slice whole grain / wheat bread
- Trader Joes Pineapple Salsa
- Strawberries!! Lol
- Ezekiel bread

    I looove reduced-fat Triscuits with home made guacamole. Whenever I'm craving junk food, that'll do the trick. Not to mention, anything that functions as a carrier for guacamole can't be a bad thing!

    I love almond butter too! It's one of the best things ever. My only problem is, it is one of those things I have a hard time not eating too much of so I don't buy it often. I love having zone bars. They are protein bar but they are like a treat to me. Plus greek yogurt with peanut butter mixed in it. Yummy.

    Not something I have to have everyday, although I could eat it everyday....a big bowl of sliced cucumber and (chunky) sliced tomato with a little salt and cubed cheese. It's DELICIOUS!!!!!!!! It has taken the place of alot of junk food options. Sometimes I'll cook a couple slices of bacon and crumble it on top.

    Tomatoes! I love them! I put them on everything, sandwiches to salads to omelets to pasta to just plain! Plus they are juicy so I usually don't have to use a dressing on as many things because of the juiciness of the tomatoes!

    Also- hummus. I love it! I use it instead of mayo on wraps and sandwiches. Also, with carrots as a snack. It takes the place of chips and dip and is WAY tastier!

    I have the same exact breakfast everyday - one whole wheat Thomas english muffin with 2T of Bell Plantation peanut butter = 165 cals, ate on the way to work. Around 10am I typically have a pear or apple...

    The peanut butter is SO money at just 45 cals per 2T. My favorite and so versitile: sometimes I will mix it with 1T lite Hershey syrup, put it on banana slices and freeze it all for a dessert.

    Did I mention I love BP peanut butter? LOL
