What healthy food staples do you use?

Twostep said:
2 cups flour (I use bread flour)
1 2 tea salt
1/3 cup parmesan (the cheap stuff please, the other does not work)
1/3 cup flax sed (optional)
1 /3 cup olive oil
2/3 cup warm water
dash cayenne

Let dough sit for 10 minutes, roll out as thin as you can. I roll it on parchment paper and it makes two almost full cookie sheets. Be patient with the dough!

Slice. I make about 2x2 inch squares. Brush with egg white, sprinkle with parmesan if you like. You can bake and then break it apaprt.

Preheated oven 400F, 10-15 minutes. Please keep an eye on it after 10 minutes.

What healthy food staples do you keep extra supplies of for your meals?
The main ones for me are 25 pound bags of pinto beans, rice, and organic oats.

Also I stock up on 40 oz cans of sweet potatoes that I eat once or twice a week for my eyes.

I use some organic sugar with the oats, and Himalayan salt when cooking the pinto beans.
Besides that are 1# cans of salmon and sardines, that I eat from once a week to once every few months.

How about you?

Okay, so you're serious about your staples, huh? I respect that. 25-pound bags? That's commitment! Pinto beans, rice, oats – solid foundation. And those 40oz sweet potato cans? Eye health, I get it! Smart.

Me? My pantry looks a little different, but we're aiming for the same thing: healthy and practical.

First off, I always have a ton of **quinoa**. It's my go-to grain. High protein, versatile, and it keeps me full. I buy it in bulk, like you with your rice.

Then,**canned chickpeas. Seriously, those things are life-savers. Hummus, roasted chickpeas, tossed in salads – the possibilities are endless. Plus, they're packed with fiber and protein.

Frozen berries, especially blueberries. They're perfect for smoothies, oats, or just a quick snack. They last forever in the freezer, and they're loaded with antioxidants.

Almonds and walnuts. I keep big bags of these around. Healthy fats, protein, and they're great for snacking or adding to meals.

And like you, I'm big on canned fish, but I lean towards tuna and mackerel. That omega-3 goodness is essential.

For seasoning, I'm all about turmeric, ginger, and garlic powder. They add flavor and have tons of health benefits.

And for a little sweetness, I use raw honey or maple syrup instead of refined sugar.

Basically, my pantry is all about versatility, convenience, and nutrient density. I want stuff that I can throw together quickly, but that's also going to keep me feeling good. We're both stocking up for the win, just with a slightly different vibe!
