My Food Staples

In trying to eat a low-carb, high protein diet, there are a few foods I simply cannot live without. They make this, well, almost easy. What are some of your healthy staples? 

This is what breakfast looks like most mornings:

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. And starting with 2 eggs is important to me. On days that I don't have time to scramble them myself (read: when I oversleep), I grab 2 of these on my way out the door. Packages of 24 pre-boiled, pre-shelled eggs are about $4 at Costco.

Making time for Steel Cut Oats mid-week? Almost impossible.
These oatmeal "pucks" microwave in 2 minutes and are pre-sweetened, but not overly so.
There are 4 to a  package.

And lunch:

 

This Poppy seed dressing is available in the refrigerated section. (I've only seen it at Target.)
But for 15 calories and  4 carbs, it's an almost-daily staple.

I'm not picking when it comes to brand on these. I've eaten enough carrots for a lifetime.
Instead, I now eat these peppers with Fresh & Easy's plain hummus for a great lunchtime snack!

Two alternative dressings that are excellent low-carb options.
The sesame ginger is great for Asian-inspired meals.

Basically, I love this. It's like Strawberry Milk
and I think it's utterly delicious!
