Grocery List Staples

[KK66 61]

Hi Everyone,

When I have done low carb in the past, I have a running list of things I buy to keep stocked up on for healthier eating:

Berries

Greek Yogurt

Asparagus

Tomatoes

Avocados

chicken

Turkey Bacon

Turkey Breast

Laughing Cow cheese

Ak Mak Crackers

Citrus Fruits

eggs

Fish/Shellfish

What are your staples? Have you had to omit healthy foods because of intolerance now?

Would love to some new things to add to my list.

U don't really have any staples other than cheese and lunch meat. I love to cook and try new food. Still a foodie. I don't consider myself a low carber either. But asparagus might be tough on your tummy at first.

Oh and eggs! I have to have one every morning!

I've been eating asparagus (I roast it in the oven with olive oil) and it's been okay so far. I have not really delved into salads yet..hear that its not tolerated well.

I make a lot of Soups as well as stews.

One thing I haven't seen listed is PB2 - its powdered peanuts! It also comes in chocolate peanut!

If you are a Peanut Butter lover, this is a lifesaver. You can add it to your Protein shakes for a Peanut Butter flavor. Or, you can mix it with Water or skim milk to make peanut butter. And it only has 45 calories for 2 tbs as opposed to 190-200 in the same amount of peanut butter.

I'm so happy someone talked about PB2! I'd heard the expression here but didn't know what it was good for! Sounds....like a dream come true! Good for the mushy food stage 4?
