Peanuts or all natural peanut butter
Oatmeal, rolled oat for making snickers :)
Kale /Spinach (I buy fresh and throw in zip lock in the freezer- breaks up easily for smoothies)
Lots of bananas/pineapple/berries, etc. for the freezer
Eggplant/mushrooms (just grill in pan and put in spaghetti sauce)
Broccoli* and bok choy (cruciferous veges for smoothie and stir fry)
*If you get frozen broccoli add a little mustard powder to whatever you make (even smoothies) to bring out the best in your broccoli power.  A little is plenty and you can't taste it in smoothies.
Cucumbers (to slice up and put in container with vinegar and dill!)
All the fruits I like
All the veges I like for snacking with hummus, putting in stir fry and sneaking into soups and smoothies.
