Build Your Healthy Pantry

Build your Healthy Pantry!  I try to get my clients that eat out a lot, or eat most meals from the frozen food isle,  to make a few healthy meals at home.  Many times we have to revamp their pantry. Fun!!!  Getting rid of boxes of sugar laden cereals and processed snack foods and replacing them with ingredients they can use to make healthier meals for their families and themselves!  Here are some things I always have in my pantry:

• Organic beans
• Lentils
• Quinoa
• Raw Cacao (raw chocolate)
• Almonds
• Walnuts
• Natural peanut and Almond Butter
• Tahini
• Pumpkin seeds
• raw sunflower seeds
• Onions and Garlic
• Canned Coconut milk
• Canned Organic no-salt tomatoes
• Whole organic Oats
• Organic Raisins

Condiments: (to make easy salad dressings!!)

• Dijon mustard
• Balsamic vinegar
• Apple Cider vinegar
• Raspberry Vinegar

Oils:

• Extra Virgin Olive oil
• Coconut oil
• Grapeseed oil

Sweeteners:

• Raw Honey
• Maple Syrup

These are a few. Of course there are those amazing spices and herbs and things we have to keep in our fridge like grass fed, full fat butter (yep 🙂 )  No margarine in this house!!  Let’s not forget some made yogurt and eggs!  What do you like to keep on hand in your pantry??  I hope this inspires you to revamp that pantry and try some new, healthy recipes!! Happy cooking friends!!  Comments welcome and appreciated!!
