What Does Snack Girl Have In Her Pantry?

I had to laugh out loud at how similar our pantries are! Right down to the Van's and sausages, both of which my 3yo loves :) I'd add Polaner All-Fruit Preserves to the fridge section, (oh wait, just saw you have jam listed), and a handful of non- wheat flours for fun baking experiments - Bob's Red Mill's coconut and almond flours are current faves. (Great, filling pancakes, muffins and quick breads.) thanks for the list, I am starting my day feeling virtuous!

Christine Taylor Garner

In my cupboard a variety of dried fruits (used in making my home made granola) Oatmeal- old fashioned and steel cut and in the fridge or freezer raw unsalted walnuts, pecans and almonds (for snacking or granola making). Love your list!

Sandee Spencer

Very similar to our pantry, except add avocados and home made yogurt in my fridge, and nut or Ancient Grains crackers in the cabinet, almond butter and pistachios.

Marjorie Stradinger

Your pantry sounds like mine!! I love comparing this kind of information! Thanks for letting us look into your cupboards!!

Jennifer @ Peanut Butter and Peppers

You forgot Tofu, avocados, bananas, juice, and tea! Oh and spices - I have a whole cabinet full of them :)

Elisa

I recently have started to stock unsweetened almond milk. I was a soy choc girl until the switch. I have found I can make yummy hot choc and smoothies and cut alot of cal's this way!

Erin

Wow, that's my pantry right down to the tuna in OO. I do have half sour pickles and yogurt. There is only the two of us so I don't know why I have so much stuff in my kitchen, but I can cook almost anything on a whim because of it. Love my rice cooker for steel cut oatmeal and wheat berries. Love my bullet for smoothies and of course my Kuerig coffee maker.

Fran Steidel

Spinach! I sometimes use it 3 times per day...in my eggs for breakfast, on my sandwich for lunch and with my dinner either as a salad or cooked as a side dish. Yummy. :)

Jenn

Thanks for sharing your list! I've got a bunch of the stuff you've got, plus I always have on hand: Bite-sized (unfrosted) shredded wheat, maple syrup, frozen bananas, Kodiak Cakes Flapjack and Waffle Mix, FF milk and yogurt (plain Fage), and PB2 (plain and with chocolate).

While I have a lot of the same stuff you have, during this past blizzard that rocked the east coast and kept us in for a couple of days the priorities were in. For me, it was yogurt, craisins, bagels, natural peanut butter and jam. For my daughter it was haagan daz and fudge striped cookes and for my husband it was smoked salmon and tuscan bread, granola and milk.

Denise

BARB L

Coconut oil is a must-have for me. Some other favorites I keep include raw milk, kombucha (homemade), and lots of spices.

Cristina @ An Organic Wife

Mine is very similar but I also always have white corn tortillas (never flour tortillas!!), Greek chobanni zero yogurt, slivered almonds that I crunch up into oatmeal or salads, costcos coaches oatmeal (sooo good!!), Sarah lee 45 cal honey wheat bread, Thomas honey wheat high fiber English muffins, turkey sausage and nutra grain waffles and no sugar syrup, Swiss miss 25 cal cocoa mix ( add to oatmeal), zero cal flavored sparkling waters, fat free feta cheese, fiber one bars, fiber one cereal to stir into Greek yogurt.

I'm glad you did this list today as I have to go to the grocery store. My pantry isn't quite as virtuous as yours (I have cake/brownie mixes and Dove Promises) but I'm starting to stock up on better things. This post is also reminding me to clean out my fridge of all the stuff I don't eat so I can fill it with new foods. My go-to veggies are broccoli and green beans in the fridge. I also have pre-formed (by me) 93/7 hamburger patties in the freezer along with homemade frozen meatballs. And then there are the millions of frozen bananas I store in my freezer for a smoothie emergency. In the pantry is also alot of applesauce. I get the unsweetened kind in both the little cups and the squeezy packets. And of course there are Goldfish crackers - can't live without those, well, my daughter can't.

Janet

I love hearing everyone's ideas. Must see what can be made with coconut flour now! Also, frozen bananas? Great idea for when I run out of fresh or banana babies (dark chocolate variety, of course)

Robi

Love your list but also must have bananas, plain organic protein powder, cocoa powder and unsweetened coconut (for healthy truffles), green tea and Mary's Gone Crackers in pantry. In fridge, coconut milk, sauerkraut with Applegate Farms beef hot dogs, fresh ground almond butter and fresh berries. Thanks for all the great ideas! Love your website :)

Cheri

I feel like I just past a test. I have many of the things on your list. I don't eat beef or hummus so they are absent but I did pretty good. I am a true fan of the whole wheat pasta's.

NIOSHA

I have a dairy senstivity so instead of milk based condiments I have guacamole, humus and olive salad.
