I'm really working on eating healthier. Less processed foods, sugar, preservatives and more whole foods, veggies, etc. I buy a lot of organic. I have worked on eating this way for years with some success, making a life long change here and there, doing better at some times than others, but still had a long way to go when I started having health issues, which caused me to get way more serious about it. One of the harder things for me to do is add veggies. I'm not really supposed to eat a lot of fruit right now, but some is ok. Since changing my eating, I have developed some "staples" I tend to eat a lot of as my go to foods. I need to develop more go to foods and figure out how to add more veggies to my life without randomly buying veggies and never actually eating them!

Here are some of my staples.

Eggs, Tomatoes & Avocados

I usually have two eggs for breakfast, sunny side up (the closer to raw, the more nutrients). I just decided a good way to add veggies to my breakfast is to add sliced tomatoes and avocado. It's quick and easy and yummy, and something I can see myself actually doing consistently.

Apples and Peanut Butter

Once a day I usually have apple slices with peanut butter. I need to have protein with every meal or snack. I also have whole wheat toast with peanut butter a lot.

Carrot Sticks

I try having carrot sticks dipped in ranch with a sandwich sometimes. It's really not my fave, but it's good for me. Not the dressing so much, but gotta do something to make myself eat veggies!

Spinach

I try to make salads with either all spinach or spinach mixed with romaine. I also put spinach on a sandwich instead of lettuce a lot. I'm not a big salad person, but trying to work on that.

Nuts

I found small prepackaged bags of various combinations of nuts at Trader Joe's. I LOVE this! I try to keep some handy in my car, so I have them whenever I'm hungry. It was perfect yesterday when I was going to the grocery store and realized I needed a little boost before trying to make food decisions.

That's all I got for healthy "staples". What do you guys do?
