Since starting your new lifestyle/diet (whatever your preference) what is a new food that you are totally in love with, but really didn't eat too much of before?

I am in love with honey and Chobani Greek Yogurts!!

    Kale! It's super nutritious, low calorie and delicious in soups and stews. This week I am going to try making Polenta lasagna with portabellas and kale. I never used to get excited about cooking before I began my pursuit of health.

    I cut cherry tomatoes in half and quarter cumber slices and some sliced onions and mix it together with just a little zesty iltalian. I think im addicted to it!!! ALso I keep bags of frozen fruit in the freezer and snacks on them, they taste like mini popsicles to me! My overall favorite is frozen fruit, low cal vanilla yogurt and skim milk in the blender. Amazing smoothies and low cal!!!

    Cottage cheese, hummus, and... just about any of the Campbell light soups.

    ... And monster absolute zero. It actually tastes BETTER than the original! Monster and various other poppy-ish drinks used to be my downfall (especially on the 1 graveyard shift I have to pull per week) but now they don't have to be!

    Prograde Lean (chocolate), although I'm not sure this is considered a "food." It's really helping me meet my protein goals without blowing out my fat macro. And it's good and doesn't taste like wet chalk! Actually pretty sweet!

    I really like quinoa now, and that was a first.
    And I took someone's advice to just go into the grocery store and buy a vegetable without really knowing how I would use it, and then find recipes after. So I discovered eggplant, and that I like it in soup!

    PB2-especially the chocolate! It is powdered peanut butter that you mix with water. It has 85% less fat and almost no sugar! Just 45 calories 4grams fat, 4 grams sugar and 6 gram protein. And it is organic and all natural (NO artificial sweetener!) it does have much less protein, but I do not use it as a protein-it is my go to bedtime sweet treat! Great with some celery for a crunchy/sweet treat! They have regular peanut butter or chocolate.
    you can get it from the manufacturer (bell plantations) the cheapest or from amazon

    When I am craving a sweet, candy-like something, I grab an Atkins Peanut Cluster bar. It has kept my hand out of the Girl Scout cookie box a couple of times in the last two weeks.

    I never used to get excited about cooking before I began my pursuit of health.

    ME TOO! Since I've began, my cooking prowess has soared! Tonight I made beef and broccoli that my family not only loved, but asked me to make it again soon (and it was only 216 calories a serving!). My love of Chinese food had driven my cooking skills because I can't afford the calories that Chinese food from restaurants cost me. I live near a world market, so the new foods I can't live without are ginger, brown rice, sesame seeds, pea pods, bok choy, cabbage, rice wine vinegar, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce and sesame oil (in moderation). Add garlic, onion, corn starch and a meat to the previous list, and I have found I can reproduce less-bad home versions of my favorite Chinese Take-out dishes.

    Bertolli frozen soups- all varieties. One bag yields two meals for me. Put it over a cup of rice and it's definitely a filler after a workout. Yummy !!!

    Kavli garlic crispbread (think chip or cracker replacement) and unsweetened vanilla almond milk! I can't even stomach real milk on cereal anymore.

    I have a great Kale treat for you!

    Kale Chips
    Preheat oven 350
    remove stems and cut/break kale into 1" pieces
    add 1/4 cup lemon juice
    1/4 t sea salt
    1/2 t ground pepper
    1 T olive oil

    mix in large bowl

    place parchment paper over a large cookie sheet
    arrange one layer of the kale onto sheet
    bake 11-13 minutes or until crisp but don't allow to burn (turn brown--it'll be carbon-tasting)

    Enjoy like potato chips and just as addicting!

    - Kale (steam it, make chips and put it in smoothies)
    - Nutritional yeast flakes
    - Reduced fat Ricotta cheese with pureed fresh fruit - I hate yogurt so this is a lifesaver, and almost tastes like cheesecake!
