    Steel Cut Oats

    Forrest Folen says: "Looking for a new healthy breakfast??? This one is healthy and has a little crunch to it since its not your ordinary oatmeal! Add fresh fruit, raisins, honey to boost the flavor. Very filling and full of nutrients!"
  • Sweet Potato Spears at Trader Joe's

    Sweet Potato Spears that are clean and precut

    Forrest Folen says: "These are the perfect snack similar to carrots but you can also toss them in a mini-oven to get that crispy taste. A great side dish for your lunch/dinner or even a snack. Very simple and not much planning involved."
  • Hard Boiled Peeled Eggs at Trader Joe's

    (Reposted from Claudia Roldan)

    No time to make hard boiled eggs? Then just buy them in the egg section at Trader Joe's.

    Forrest Folen says: "I have found these to be super convenient when you need that extra snack. They work great with salad and there is no need to peel. It's all done for you! Also great before/after working out to keep you satisfied while giving you some needed protein."
  • Egg Whites In A Carton

    (Reposted from Claudia Roldan)

    Trader Joe's and State Bros. sell pasteurized egg whites in 16-oz. cartons.  What has all the benefits of eggs and none of the drawbacks? Egg whites.

    Forrest Folen says: "This is a fast and easy way to get your protein in during that morning rush. I recently bought to make at work in the microwave and it taste great. Just add your personal condiments and you are set!"
  • California Veggie Burgers

    (Reposted from Claudia Roldan)

    California Veggie burgers have a lot of flavor and different ingredients. The only set back in this burger is that it gets very soft when you microwave/or toast it. Just use a fork when eating it and problem solved!

    Forrest Folen says: "Also another great item to keep in the freezer. I have many days where I don't bring lunch. Instead of spending $$ eating out this is a great meal idea that you can have with sweet potato spears or make into an actual burger."

    Aria Vanilla Protein (for women)

    Forrest Folen says: "Love Love Love this protein powder! It great in the summer time when you want to make a fruit shake or smoothie. Also goes well after a big workout! Just add fruit, milk or orange juice. Also, if you like a creamier, thicker shake add in the "Fage Greek Yogurt". Taste really good in shakes!"
  • Fage Greek Yogurt

    Fage Greek Yogurt

    Forrest Folen says: "This yogurt comes in various flavors. Honey, Strawberry, Straw/Banana, Blueberry and Acai. Very healthy for you and also full of protein. Great for after a workout and keeps you pretty full!"
  • Pollo Asado Authentico

    (Reposted from Glenn Smith)

    Forrest Folen says: "This is in the refrigerated (not frozen) section. Delicious and particularly good if you're watching your sugar intake: 0g sugar! These are thinly sliced and fry up quickly on the stovetop over medium/medium-high heat. Tender too!"
