new food faves

since i starting running again, eating healthy has been something i've been attempting...meaning, i don't always get there, but i'm kinda sorta always trying.  and so i thought i'd share a few foods i've found along the way that make this better eating a little tastier.



there are only a handful of foods i won't eat in this world; sweet potatoes, watermelon (i'm weird, i know), cucumbers (i'm getting better with these)...
cottage cheese used to be on this list, but since i've discovered these breakstone cottage doubles, i am LOVING it!  and i always feel good about finding ways to get more calcium in my diet, since milk is probably another food i should add to the do-not-do list.  my favorite flav so far is the pinapple, but they have all been really yummy!


some have compared them to prunes, and i suppose i should add a disclaimer that they may make you a bit gassy, but don't let that stop you from trying the deep chocolate vitatop!  especially with some chobani and/or banana...mmmmmm, deeelish (or with mighty maple peanut butter like this girl.  plus, they're fortified (like your cereal).  winning!  (is that old now?  prob.)

and that brings us to my last fav...chobani yogurt. after years of eating diet yoplait, the creamy texture kind of threw me off a bit, but now that i'm used to them i could never go back to those watery, tasteless yoplaits. i found out about these through some peeps at work (who it seems were practically forming their own chobani fan club for awhile, but who can blame them).  the going favorite seems to be pomegranate, but once again, i think pineapple is the best.

what are some good healthy foods that you have happily stumbled upon?

  1. Russell Stover caramel candies. There's also mint, pecan delight and COCONUT!!! Paired with an apple or orange, it makes a delectable supper.
    What? No, Jillian, I didn't mean anything by it. Please don't hurt me...
