Frozen fruits and veggies - cheap and always there when I need them.

Kind Arthur flours - they never fail me.

Eggs - versatile in cooking and yummy all on their own

Cottage cheese - the only dairy product that doesn't fight back :)

Wheat germ - a nice added crunch to many things, healthy and flavorless when mixed with other things

Granola - very filling and yummy to boot

Golden raisins - a good sub for nuts in many recipes and excellent for those "I need something sweet!" moments

Old fashioned oats - Great for a quick breakfast when you don't have time, 1 cup is 8g of fiber, add in 100ml of almond milk and put it in the microware for 60 seconds, sprinkling cinnamon on top and/or teaspoon of real maple syrup

Bananas - Great snack, pre/post workout, versatile, use in smoothies or for banana pancakes (1 smashed banana, 1 scrambled egg, mix)

Kiwi - Also a great snack, and full of fibre which I found really helps in breakfast

Greek yogurt - for breakfast as well, with kiwi or banana, also substitute for sour cream and mayonnaise when making salads (chicken or tuna salad)

Organic honey - can even mix it in coffee, gives it a great taste if a little but unusual at first, great over a bowl of fruit, oatmeal, greek yogurt, etc.

Maple syrup - use as honey above

Turkey or chicken breast slices

Almonds - other nuts are great too but I find almonds really help when I'm having a sugar craving

Dark chocolate - 65% or more, helps with sugar cravings and otherwise I believe quite good for you

Tuna in water or olive oil - great if you run out of ideas/things to cook before the grocery run ;) open it up and throw it over a green salad, eat alone or with a couple of eggs for lots of protein
