McCANN'S Steel Cut Oatmeal, Quick & Easy,
16-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)
Buy new: $19.90
I like oatmeal, and to me, steel cut oatmeal
has the best texture. It's more chewy and less
like paste. However, traditional Irish oatmeal
takes forever to cook! I like this quick
version of McCann's steel cut oatmeal. It's
ready in 15 minutes versus 30 minutes for the
traditional version.This product is also on the
subscribe and save program.

Suzie's 100% Organic Crackers, Salted with Extra
Virgin Olive Oil, 8.8-Ounce Packages (Pack of
12)
Buy new: $26.69
My favorite "every day" cracker! This is a
light, crisp saltine cracker with a hint of
olive oil. You can taste the olive oil but it
is not over the top. I also love the fact that
these crackers come in individually wrapped 100
calorie servings,10 per package. Your crackers
are always fresh and portion control is easy.

Dr. Kracker Flatbread, Seedlander, 7-Ounce
Packages (Pack of 6)
Buy new: $20.75
Everything Dr. Kracker makes is good but I
especially like the spelt flatbreads and
crackers because I get tired of wheat. There
are many other grains besides wheat and I like
some variety. This is a very filling cracker, a
good source of fiber.

Santa Fe Bean Co., Instant Fat Free Black Refried
Beans, 7.25-Ounce Pack (Pack of 8)
Buy new: $13.60
What an easy way to keep beans in your pantry,
much easier than dealing with bulky cans! I use
these to make chili, nachos, and burritos.
These beans cook fast. They are a great source
of fiber, protein, and iron while being fat
free. Love this product!

Tasty Bite Entrée, Madras Lentils, 10-Ounce Boxes
(Pack of 12)
Buy new: $29.14
Beans are a healthy substitute for meat, high
in protein, low in fat. I love these Tasty Bite
Madras Lentils because they are easy to store,
quick to fix (just heat and eat), and taste
good. This is mild Indian food, not too spicy
or hot. I eat these lentils with chips, over
rice or just plain. Tasty Bite is part of the
subscribe and save program for additional
savings.

Raincoast Trading Company Pink Salmon, No Salt
Added, 5.65-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)
Buy new: $36.92
I have trouble getting enough fish into my diet
and this is good quality salmon at a reasonable
price. A lot of canned fish is way to salty,
this is not. Pull tab cans also travel better
via UPS.

Crown Prince Natural Smoked Oysters in Pure Olive
Oil, 3-Ounce Cans (Pack of 24)
These are the best smoked oysters I have ever
tasted, and olive oil is healthier than other
oils oysters are often packed in. I have tried
oysters in water but don't like the taste, even
though the calories are less.

Chicken of the Sea Premium Wild-Caught Light Tuna
in Water, 7.1-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 12)
I try to keep tuna on hand. Mixing some tuna,
light mayo, and pickles with a few crackers on
the side makes an easy meal that is high in
protein. Light tuna is healthier than albacore
tuna, and tuna in pouches "travels" well with
UPS.

Starkist Premium Chunk Light Tuna in Sunflower
Oil, 7.06-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 12)
I also like this tuna in sunflower oil. This
tuna comes in 3 ounch pouches as well, if you
are looking for single serving portions.

Pacific Natural Foods Organic Soup, Creamy
Roasted Carrot, 16-Ounce Carton (Pack of 12)
Buy new: $27.76
I never thought I would like carrot soup but I
like this one! This soup is a great source of
vitamin A. I sometimes boost the nutritional
value of something else I'm making by adding a
little of this soup.

Healthy Choice Chicken Noodle Soup, 14-Ounce
Microwave Bowls (Pack of 12)
Buy new: $29.30
This chicken noodle soup is not organic but it
has 0% saturated fat, 0% trans fat, and is
lower in sodium than most prepared soups. Of
all the Healthy Choice soups in microwave
bowls, I think this one tastes the best. This
soup is also part of the subscribe and save
program for additional savings.

Newman¿s Own® Organics Organic California Prunes,
Pitted, 12-Ounce Unit (Pack of 6)
Buy new: $21.00
These prunes are moist and sweet without the
preservatives found in most dried fruit. Prunes
actually have more potassium than bananas, so I
think they are worth including in my diet.

Navitas Naturals Certified Organic Goji Berries,
16-Ounce Pouch
Buy new: $16.50
I really do consider Goji Berries a super food.
One ounce of berries provides 180% of your
vitamin A and 30% of your vitamin C. I can't
always find a good selection of organic berries
in the store, and Goji Berries give me an easy
way to have berries every day. Navitas brand is
USDA certified organic which is a plus. If you
try one product on my list, try this!

Eden Organic Pumpkin Seeds, Dry Roasted, 4-Ounce
Reseable Bags (Pack of 15)
Buy new: $21.97
Pumpkin seeds are one of those "super foods"; a
great source of fiber, protein,healthy fats,
and magnesium. Foods containing monosaturated
fats; seeds, nuts, and olives for example,
according to some studies, help to reduce the
amount of fat stored around our waists. If
that's true or not, I still think pumpkin seeds
add some good nutrition to my diet. IMO these
taste the best!

Almond Butter, Creamy, Roasted, No Salt, Organic,
16 oz.
This is pure almond butter and nothing else! A
bit pricey but good flavor and mixes better
than some other natural butters I've tried.

Good Sense Organic Walnuts, 6-Ounce Bag (Pack of
4)
Buy new: $14.60
These walnuts have a good flavor, and Good
Sense gives you walnut halves instead of walnut
pieces which make them nice for snacking. No
additives, salt, or sugar; just organic
walnuts.

Health Best Pistachios Raw, 11-Ounce Units (Pack
of 3)
Buy new: $16.77
I look for other nuts besides peanuts to eat.
Walnuts, almonds, and pistachios are my three
favorites. Raw nuts retain the most nutritional
value. These pistachios are in the shell.

Barbara's Bakery Vanilla Snackimals Animal
Cookies, 2.125-Ounce Bags (Pack of 18)
Buy new: $14.74
Even if you're cutting back on sweets to be
healthier, once in a while you have to have
cookies! These vanilla snackimals are good, and
have a short list of ingredients I recognize.

save program.

Late July Organic Vanilla Bean With Green Tea
Sandwich Cookies Lunch Pack, 6 Count 10.2-Ounce
Packages (Pack of 6)
Buy new: $27.94
I love this organic version of the classic
chocolate with vanilla creme sandwich cookie.
These cookies are made with no trans fats or
high fructose corn syrup. It's hard to find any
sandwich cookie that is not made with high
fructose corn syrup. These cookies do contain
sugar,of course, 17 grams in 4 cookies which is
the serving size of each individual package.

Barbara's Bakery Low Fat Traditional Fig Bars,
12-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)
Buy new: $20.58
Figs are good for you but most fig cookies
aren't all that healthy. Barbara's Fig Bars are
the healthiest I've found so far, if you are
trying to get away from trans fats and
hydrogenated oils. They also taste great!

Pamela's Products Peanut Butter Cookies,
7.25-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)
Buy new: $18.31
I like to have a peanut butter cookie once in
awhile. When I first tried these, I thought
they were too hard for a cookie that was
supposed to be chewy but all I had to do was
warm them up and they were very good, close to
homemade taste. This product is also on the
subscribe and save program.

Nana's Apple & Oats Cookie Bars, 5-Count
Packs (Pack of 8)
Buy new: $26.46
I love oatmeal cookies and won't give them up
but I have found a "healthier" version in these
fruit juice sweetened Nana's Apple and Oats
Cookie Bars. Everything I have tried in this
product line is very good but the Apple and
Oats Cookie Bars are my favorite.

Oh my gosh!!, this white cheddar popcorn is
good! It is also natural with 0 grams of sugar.

Annie's Homegrown Cheddar Bunnies Baked Crackers,
1-Ounce Snack Packs in 6-Count Boxes (Pack of
6)
Buy new: $23.12
Annie's Cheddar Bunnies are just plain good! So
much of what we eat, including snack crackers,
has hidden sugar, high fructose corn syrup.
Annie's Cheddar Bunnies are natural cheddar
crackers with no high fructose corn syrup.

Betty Lou's Spirulina-Ginseng Balls, 1.4-Ounce
Balls, 40-Count Jar
Buy new: $35.33
Even though I try to eat healthy, anything deep
green in color does not really appeal to me. I
like these spirulina-ginseng balls, however.
They make a healthier snack that is not sugary
sweet.If you're looking for a snack that is
sweet like a cookie, this isn't for you. If
you're looking for a healthier replacement for
the cookie, give this a try!

Benecol Smart Chews, Caramel, 120 Soft Chews
Benecol Smart Chews are not organic but they
are the best tasting, easiest way to work on
lowering your cholesterol I've found. These are
caramel chews and they do contain sugar; two
caramels have 6 grams of sugar. I consider
these candy with a benefit.
