My CRON staples

Sort of leading on from my previous post about knowing where to get my nutrients from now, and because I am a little - shall we say - bored, here is a list of what a Sara has in her fridge and cupboards on a regular basis to sustain her CR Life.

Total 0% Greek yogurt
Low-fat (1%) cottage cheese
Free-range eggs

Alpro Light Soya Milk

Lewis Labs Brewer's Yeast

Blueberries
Strawberries
Melon
Lemons

Spinach leaves
Romaine lettuce
Broccoli (calabrese)
Asparagus
Zucchini
Red, yellow and green peppers
Tomatoes
Celery
Mushrooms
Butternut squash

Almonds
Hazelnuts
Brazil nuts
Pumpkin seeds
Flax seeds (whole and ground)

Goji berries

Canned lentils
Canned cannellini beans
Dried oregano, thyme, rosemary

Cinnammon

Grapenuts
Oats

Flax oil

Balsamic vinegar

It doesn't seem like much considering the length of other CRON-practioners' staples, but I find that if I have all these things available, and add to them with other bits and pieces (I eat more variety of vegetables than listed here, for example), I easily get all my nutrients every day - I am usually at 90% of vitamins and 80% of minerals by the time I've eaten lunch, which isn't bad going really and good to know! Looking at that list, actually - I will have eaten everything on it by the end of the day bar the oats and cannellini beans! Yep, there is a lot of food when eating CRON!
