Knowing how to stock your pantry can be tricky and really depends on your preferences, but here are a few strategies for successful shopping and stocking.
If you keep a few staples on hand, such as canned beans and peanut butter, you’ll have the ingredients for making a meal or snack.
Here are some items to keep handy:
Canned beans (any variety: black, pinto, kidney)
Canned veggies (any variety: tomatoes, corn, green beans, salsa)
Peanut butter or almond butter
100% whole wheat tortillas, English muffins, bagels or bread
Low-fat grated cheese
Canned or foil-pouch tuna, salmon or chicken
Eggs or egg substitute
Microwaveable brown rice
Some food is good just by itself... making it perfect for snacking! Keep these items in your office or locker for when you need a quick bite:
Canned fruit (in light syrup), fruit cups or applesauce
Small cans of 100% fruit juice and vegetable juice
Raisins, dried fruits or dried fruit leathers
Nuts (walnuts or almonds)
