Just bought Ken's Healthy Options Honey Dijon salad dressing. It's AWESOME with tuna, better if you put plain tuna in a green salad. Can't wait to try it on chicken! I usually only use italian dressing so it's kinda new to me but it's so good I had to make a thread for it lol my tuna didn't even taste like tuna
Mccann's Irish Oatmeal... the texture is so much better than regular plain oats, kinda like instant oatmeal

Also (diet friendly) :
Jordan's Natural Muesli
Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie FroYo (one flavour that tastes pretty much exactly like the ice-cream version)
And (needs slightly more thought to be worked into diet ) :

I have to mention that I bought fat free shredded mozzarella cheese today... fat free cheese, bahaha. It tastes like NOTHING. Not even worth it, I'll take the fat/calories.

HEB's Mootopia (higher protein, lactose free/reduced sugar, reduced to non-fat milk...but somehow it still tastes good! And I grew up hating how milk tastes)
HEB's Central Market nut butters (contain 1 ingredient...roasted peanuts, almonds, cashews, whatever kind of nut butter it is...good price too!)
Things that are like crack:
Granola and muesli. Can easily compete with Fruity Pebbles.
Whole Almonds or Cashews
Yogurt (any kind, any flavor...even plain)
Frozen berries and mangos

quark for me!
I eat it like yoghurt with berries in morning and nut butter at night.

Deffo with you on the balsamic drssing, I can never be bothered making up other dressings. Must be more adventurous!
Do you ever mix your quark with balasamic vinegar to act as a salad dressing? Soooo good! I love throwing a salad together with lettuce, beets, cashews, tuna, and quark/balsamic.
I also love my quark in an omelette. I mix quark, salsa, a laughing cow wedge, and franks red hot sauce together and heat. I take the concoction then fold it in my omelette with any other left over veggies I have for a quick but filling meal.
I love Sugar Cookie Sleigh Ride tea from Celestial Seasonings mixed with a little almond milk, splenda/stevia and some kind of a granola bar to dip into it. I know its not healthy but it is sooo good! I also really like the cashew butter from Kettle Brand. Yum!

i'll deffo give it a try for a dressing. Thanks!
I made sugarless wholemeal pancakes out of it. Almost got an even carb/protein split but they dont store well, got to eat them there and then. I wanted a recipe I could let my 2yr old eat as I try really hard not to have different food from the family. They are on my blog somewhere.

I love Flatout's -- I get the light italian kind, 90 calories, no sugar 16 GRAMS FIBER!! I use them to make wraps (tuna/turkey/chicken/breakfast), or you can bake them and they get crispy and I'll make a low cal pizza on them. Delicious! I have to quit talking about them now because I have one in the fridge filled with tuna..but I just ate breakfast so I have to wait!!! LOL

I LOVE mootopia! It's lactose free as well for the lactose intolerant ppl like myself. I think they're beginning to sell it around California as well.
At healthfood stores I make my own almond or peanut butter and just add SF honey to it to sweeten it up.

Try quark with SF jelly, disolve the jelly in 1/2 pint of boiling water, add the quark, leave to set, my kids love it as much as I do

You probably won't want to do this often, but if you go to the right HEB they have nut grinders. Look for one with honey roasted peanuts. Expect to have a cheat day where all you eat is peanut butter. LOL
I've seen the Mootopia ads based out of California...but I thought it was a replacement for the "Got Milk?" campaign. Those are pretty funny:
There's another one about milk helping to give you strong muscles but you have to go to the Mootopia website to view it...
Puffed Kamute. I believe arrowhead meals makes it. Its a grain.... 1 cup has 50 calories. Its the BOMB.
Greek yogurt. LOVE IT!
If it's to be it's up to me....
"There is no such thing as a small miracle. A gym is a place of miracles. People do things they once thought impossible--lifting heavier, squeezing out one more rep, finding discipline and willpower they didn't know they had. They're amazed at how good they feel and look, and they carry their new power into the world. This is the miracle I wanted to give to the world." - Joe Wieder
Target brand organic peanutbutter. It comes in a glass jar too which i love!
Skyr - Icelandic yogurt that is similar to greek yogurt only made from grass fed cow's milk .
Perfect Foods bars - Just found these yesterday and they are wonderful. No soy and they have a great ratio of protein and carbs and fats .
Emerald Cocoa roasted almonds - Like chocolate covered almonds only better. They are disted with cocoa and splenda and then roasted. A bodybuilder's dream!
Black bean spaghetti - Found this a whole foods. One serving has 189 calories and 20g of protein with under 5g of carbs...plus they go well with both asian foods or can be used like an angel hair pasta with something italian!

I LOVE the bob's red mill hot cereals!
And I just found a gift certificate hiding in my house to the Melting Pot for 75$! I love that place and if I'm gonna cheat bad I'd go there!
"Why do I squat, press and deadlift? Because they are very hard. They produce psychological toughness when trained correctly. And absolutely no one has ever gotten as brutally, ungodly strong as they possibly can without doing them."
I forgot to mention how much I love spaghetti squash!!! I mix it with some turkey italian sausage and italian style stewed tomatoes and a little tomato sauce and it's delicious!!!

Vitamuffin makes something called a Vitatop, its a muffin top, deep chocolate flavor with chocolate chips. Warm slightly in microwave, 100 cals (3/21/1.5g). YUMMY with coffee as afternoon snack, and no need to take a multivitamin, lol. Its all in there, and its a fairly wholesome list of ingredients too. Not high protein, but one of my fav "cheat-like" snacks.
Amanda, I was just in Fort Worth and went to the Central Market there a couple of different times, amazing...total heaven!!!! I would spend a fortune at that place if I lived there.....

The puffed kamute - they make these in rice cakes sold at Whole Foods. YUM!
Love the F*ge greek yogurt, not such a fan of the other brands. I mix it with a bit of the powder from sugar free/fat free pudding mix - I like lemon, it is like lemon mousse!
Wholly guac is awesome!
McCann's steel cut oats are great! I mix them with natural pb.
Flat out wraps are da bomb! I make one every morning (I like the flax ones) with an omelette, slice of cheese and slice of ham or turkey sausage all rolled up.
Oatmeal/egg white pancakes
Kashi coconut dark chocolate snack bars or Luna snack bars
Friendship WHIPPED cottage cheese 1% - the whipped gives it such an awesome texture!
I am also a huge fan of spaghetti squash - we buy the huge ones so that I can make 1 cup servings with different ingredients for about 4 meals!
Other stuff I love: butternut squash, egg whites (go through 12 cartons in no time), cottage cheese, etc.
I need to find this puffed stuff! I am in Canada, maybe we have it somewhere?

I LOVE the central market in Ft. Worth! They have the best olive oil there that is grown and made in texas. I can only seem to find it at that central market.

Those Vitatops ARE good! But they are pretty expensive so I stopped buying them.
I LOVE:
- Extra virgin unrefined coconut oil
- Naturally More Peanut Butter
- Peanut Butter & Co Cinnamon Raisen Swirl Peanut Butter (although I don't buy this anymore because I will eat the whole jar WAY too fast! Ha!)

- Bison steaks
-La Tortilla Factory Low-Carb Tortillas (stats are very similar to the flat out wraps)
-F-a-g-e 0% Greek Yogurt
-Complete Protein Diet Bars - I can't find a bar under 200 cals with more protein than this one!
