Health and food for Body and mind

I'm trying a new mindset on, and I think I like it.
I'm so easily tempted and swayed by food which is an unfortunate event, but I have been really putting my body into subjection and only allowing myself to eat what would be the best for my body, and not in big quantities, either. It's been fabulous. I wanted to jot down a list of the staple things I'd like to always have on hand; especially as far as daily snacking goes, but I didn't want to write it all down on paper because if i lost it, well....that would defeat the purpose. I would ideally strive for all things Organic, and to consuem less processed and refined sugar (and knowing the huge-mungus sweet tooth i was born with, that'll be a challenge....)

Todays snack is: A bit of low fat cottage cheese with some granola, walnuts, almonds and sliced peaches. Amazing!

So, here goes. This is more so a list for myself, but feel free to read....lol

Walnut pieces
Almonds (whole raw, whole dry roasted)
Dried cranberries/ rasins
Granola
Low fat cottage cheese
Low fat vanilla yogurt
Low fat cheeses (swiss, sharp chedder, mozzarella)
Raw honey (love love love)
Unsalted almond butter (great with the ingredient mentioned above on a little spoon)
Canned black beans
Canned chik-peas (homemade humus)
A reduced fat whole grain cracker of some sort
Apples (Gala, fugi)
Carrots
     -Try grating apples with carrots, and adding a bit of lemon and honey for a tangy-sweet Cole slaw (mhm!)
Protein powder (Whey)
Baby spinach
Nutritional Yeast Flakes (especially with ingredient mentioned below)
Braggs (all purpose liquid seasoning with amino acids, great for a vegetarian diet, but absolutely delicious)
Avocados
Pesto (the best with an aldente pasta and a little olive oil)
Trader Joe's already made wheat pizza dough
Chicken broth/ Chicken stock (I use this often as a base when cooking food for baby)
Coconut oil/ butter (great for body, hair and cooking)
Chewable Vit C
Super B-Complex (turns food into energy, so beneficial after a workout)
Super firm Tofu (amazing as a cold cubed protein in salads)
100% fruit juice: Cran, Pom, Grape...
Trader Joe's "Green" juice (veggies and fruits)
Trader Joe's sparkling orange water
Trader Joe's honey wheat pretzels


...more to come....
