Egg noodles or buckwheat (soba) noodles {any brand}
Substitute for rice noodles
Opt for egg or buckwheat (pictured above) noodles,
especially relative to rice noodles, because they
have significantly more protein—which means
when eaten they cause less of an outright blood
sugar spike.
White egg noodles {any brand}
Substitute for the traditionally yellow egg noodles
Surprisingly, I just discovered my delicious yellow
egg noodles are yellow because they contain dyes!
I discovered this when forced to buy suspiciously
white egg noodles at the supermarket. Now, I think
I’ll happily stick with them.
Bonus fact: egg noodles are great because they are really filling, but super light in calories, and contain more protein than rice noodles!
Special K Protein Plus {Kellogs}
Another scrumptious-and-good-for-you cereal… that’s not a calorie bomb. Low sugar (5g), high protein (10g), high fiber (5g), and 125 calories per cup. Score!
GOLEAN Original {Kashi}
Kashi’s original cereal is by far the healthiest—don’t be tempted by their newly released “Crunch!” and “Crisp!” lines! The new lines have a lot more sugar and calories, but their original is low in sugar (6g) and sodium (85 mg), and high in protein (13g) and fiber (10g), all in the impressively low 140 calories per cup.
Daily Energy Multivitamin {Alive!}
I like these vitamins because they contain antioxidants, a fruit/vegetable medley, and vitamins for eye health in addition to your regular vitamins and not in super doses. They also have a special women’s and men’s formula.
Muesli #3 {Seitenbacher}
Looking for delicious & authentic German muesli?? This brand and flavor is my favorite, because it has tons of banana chips, dried papaya, dates, raisins, apricots, pineapples, and strawberries… all mixed in whole grain spelt, oats, barley flakes, nuts, and seeds! No artificial flavors, ingredients or corn syrup, just lots of fiber, protein and whole grains.
