What's in My Fridge

I thought it would be fun to give you all a peek inside my fridge. When it comes to what I eat I have to admit that I'm a repeat offender.  I eat the same things over and over...I can't help it! I also try to buy organic whenever possible. I just prefer the taste of organic produce and like to know I don't have to worry about eating all those chemicals.
 
 
 
1. Fountain of Health Hummus - next to Sabra this is the best hummus I've ever had. It's delicious and healthy and makes a great snack when paired with vegetables or whole wheat pita bread.
 
2. Horizon Organic Low-Fat (2%) Cottage Cheese - this is my most recent find and I have to say that I'm hooked. When I lived in Michigan I would always buy large curd Michigan Brand cottage cheese. I loved the taste and it's been hard to find a brand to replicate the flavor. Horizon is pretty darn close! I love cottage cheese because it's low in fat and high in protein.
 
3. Fage Greek Yogurt - I wrote an entire post on how much I love this yogurt. It's my fav. Enough said.
 
4. Eggs - I love eggs! Another lean protein source that makes a great addition to your morning breakfast routine.
 
5. Fresh Organic Fruit - mango, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and blueberries are all pictured here. I love my fruit! Whether I eat it by itself, in smoothies, on cereal, in oatmeal...I always have fruit on hand! Fruit is an excellent source of fiber, vitamins & minerals and antioxidants.
 
6. Flaxseed - I like to sprinkle this on my oatmeal, add it to smoothies or  use it when baking. It's a good source of omega-3's as well as fiber.
 
7. Salmon & Chicken & PB - excellent sources of lean protein. Salmon and PB are great sources of healthy fats as well.
 
8. Vegetables - stuffed in my vegetable drawer are organic carrots, zucchini and broccoli. I also have organic baby spinach on the bottom shelf. I love most vegetables but broccoli is probably my favorite. Vegetables are another excellent source of fiber, vitamin & minerals.
 
9. More fruit - organic apples (my favorite are golden delicious) and lemons are currently in my drawer but I see peaches in my near future with summer fast approaching!
 
 
? What's the one thing you always keep on hand in your fridge? ?
