It's good for your blood and heart - plus it flavours food naturally with no fat etc
That's essentially our shopping list as well, although we don't get our fruit and veg from the supermarket, we get it from the hippy box company with added dirt
I trusted you and dutifully peeled some garlic cloves to roast with my carrots- not good, outside all tough and nasty, inside ok. I have since discovered the folly of my ways - http://www.elise.com/recipes/archives/001712roasted_garlic.php looks delicious and I will try again. I have loads of garlic coz it's cheap in lidl at the mo. fingers crossed i don't balls it up again. Truth be told, I don't even know what a garlic is, like is it a fruit? a veg? where does it grow? on a tree? weird!

............... thats the main things i can think of
I take multivitamin, iron and vitamin C supplements
Skimmed milk, have drank it for years, I cant stand full fat milk and not keen on semi-skimmed
Most kinds of beans: black eyed beans, baked beans, chick peas, etc, I heat them all up together, add some spices and serve with rice for a cheap quick meal
Multigrain or sunflower seed bread, hate nasty white sliced
Natural plain yoghurt. Personal trainer told me off for eating so called "low fat" yoghurts as they can be very high in sugars and fake stuff
Pure fruit juice - not concentrated
Fresh soup, eg covent garden or supermarket own brand
It's one of the few, and also happens to be one of the nicest - go for that one
