Avocados, flaxseeds, green leafy veggies, fruit, blender.
A raw husband. Oh, and some kale!
I agree with 123.
Avocados, flaxseed, greens, fruit. Plus, some spices if you like to add “other” flavor… and lemons! I use them often.
Equipment? Food processor. It can somewhat blend like a blender, but it also does great chopping and shredding.
(added later) Oh yeah… and some nuts too!
Support, a blender, dark leafy greens, cacao nibs, young thai coconuts, fresh berries, cheese cloth (for almond milk)......(:
What do you do with the flaxseed?
I grind it and sprinkle it on salad, put it in smoothies, use it as a thickener… It’s a good source of fiber, which is key to keeping a clean colon.
I left out crackers!
Okay….will include that on the list.
Dark leafy greens, seasonal fruits, avocados, frozen berries to keep on hand (you can’t always get them fresh), honey, lemons and/or limes, fresh ginger, some really good salt.
I actually limit my flaxseed intake quite a bit, to the point where I exclude it from my diet completely from time to time. It has a “sticky” effect on my digestion and overall energy level. So I wouldn’t put it on the “must haves”. But that’s just me!
Ginger is warming and spicy and I love it. Great addition to both sweet and savory things, available year-round, and quite cheap. Sorts out a lot of digestive issues too.
Lots of people on here are anti-salt, so just take this list as my own personal bias. I find that when I go too low-sodium for too long, I get dehydrated!
Nuts and cacao are good to have on hand, but I wouldn’t consider them “musts”. Depends on your metabolism, interest, tastes, etc. I can easily go weeks without eating those things.
What a great question, I’m getting lots of ideas from it myself!
Avocados and spinach are some of my favorites! Oh and DATES!
How much of these foods do you feel your eating? I feel like I am eating too much, but I am hungry! I love just eating fruit all morning till dinner – but I have lost a lot of my muscle mass, and I am a bit crabby…Any helps with the must haves??
I eat a variety of fruits and greens daily in a smoothie. I usually eat 2tbs. ground flax a day. I sometimes eat pumpkin seeds instead. I have avocados at least twice a week. I fill in the gaps with other vegetables, nuts, seeds, sprouts. I make desserts and creamy smoothies sometimes, but I usually eat simple mono-meals or salads.
