Just a quick list of some of my favorite health foods. These things are GENIUS! More of these lists to come... stay tuned ;)
VitaTops/VitaBrownies: 100 calorie Muffin tops and brownies with more fiber and less sugar than an apple. Hint: nuke them in the microwave, then pop them in the toaster oven. Delish!
Shirataki Noodles: A giant hoafing of noodles for 20 calories. Seriously. Ok, they are a little gelatinous, but when you use them with a flavorful sauce (pesto, for instance) you hardly notice. These can be found at an Asian grocery.
Ezekiel Bread: Sprouted grain bread with very low glycemic index. (translation, your blood sugar won't spike and crash, leaving you hungry and crabby later). Fyi, this is a refrigerated bread so you have to pop it in the toaster oven. I really like the cinnamon raisin with some almond butter on it for a snack.
Bison/Buffalo Burgers: Tastes exactly like a beef burger but with more protein and less fat and cholesterol than chicken breast! Note: since it is so lean, they cook very quickly.
La Croix: Naturally flavored sparkling water with no artificial anything. My personal favorite is pamplemousse....Mostly because I like to say pamplemousse.
Quaker Oat Sqaures: My favorite cereal. slightly high in calories for a breakfast cereal, but its all good stuff. Nothing fake, no corn syrup, nothin--and 90 pct of your daily value of iron!! Yes, please!
Freeze Dried Strawberries: Low calorie, high fiber. Toss them in cereal, smoothies, or eat them plain. Make sure its not just dried strawberries which can have added sugars.
Fage Total 0%: This is the best unflavored greek yogurt. 100 calories, 0 fat, 18 g of protein. I eat this every. Single. Day. Mix it with some fresh berries or banana!
