Wondering what I keep in my pantry? Wonder no more.
These are my*Top 8 foods that are a must-have for every kitchen- including yours.
Rest assured, the following choices will serve you*well.
1. Slow Cook Old Fashioned Oatmeal*
Stuck for breakfast ideas? Oatmeal is ideal! (not the instant kind)
I make sure that I never run out of oatmeal. It's rich in protein, fiber, as well as iron - a nutrient many people are deficient in (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12418542).
Oatmeal is also a higher volume food, so it fills you up. Top it with a little cinnamon and walnuts*and you won't feel the least bit restricted. Oats are perfect for baking healthy*treats*like these blueberry muffins (http://danettemay.com/blueberry-oatmeal-muffins/).
2. Chia Seeds
Struggling to get your omega-3 fatty acids in? Chia seeds make it easy. This seed is a terrific source of antioxidants (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24811150).*It provides an excellent dose of fiber too.*It even offers a small dose of protein with the healthy fats it contains.
Try adding chia seeds on top of your bowl of oatmeal for super-star breakfast. Or, if you prefer, blend them into your favorite protein smoothie. I love them in chia pudding (http://danettemay.com/chia-pudding/)!
3. Quinoa*
As the only grain to contain a full spectrum of protein (http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF02196067), quinoa is a popular pick for vegetarians. It's also showing promise in guarding in heart disease (http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11883-010-0136-1).
Substitute*quinoa whenever brown rice is called for.
4. Coconut Oil
Coconut oil is the new superfood you can't ignore. It'll help*boost your immune health (http://www.rubysemporium.org/coconut_oil.html) and promote a stronger heart.
Coconut oil has a great many uses. *It's great for*stir-fries (http://danettemay.com/easy-and-delicious-thai-shrimp-dinner/).**Add it*to your baking in place of regular oil. Slather*it on your skin as a moisturizer, or even*use*it sooth a bug bite.
5. Almond*Butter
Rich in healthy monounsaturated fat and protein, almond*butter is the perfect spread! Studies (http://jama.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=195554&resultclick=3) suggest that regular nut eaters may also help lower their risk factor for diabetes. Smear it over a banana or apple or add it to your smoothie.
6. Apple Cider Vinegar*
Apple cider vinegar has been around for centuries! You can use it*in both food recipes (http://danettemay.com/5-apple-cider-vinegar-brews-that-help-you-drop-pounds-and-have-beautiful-skin/) and household remedies.
Try it in salad dressings, on your skin, or taken before meals.
7. Black Beans
A complex carb that's great for long-lasting energy. Black beans*are great for adding protein to your diet too.*They'll*help to support a healthy digestive tract and have even lowered the risk for colon cancer in rats (http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1207/S15327914NC441_8). Try them in a healthy home-made chili using ground turkey rather than ground beef.
8. Dried Fruit And Nuts
Looking for the perfect snack mid-afternoon? Try some dried fruit and nuts. This combo has everything - healthy fats, lean proteins, fiber, and carbs. Just keep your portion size to a couple of handfuls.
So, those are the Top 8 foods I always keep in my pantry.
