Sooo.. in the past, I posted a helpful little list of things you should focus on only buying when you're trying to maintain healthy foods within your kitchen that'll enable a healthy lifestyle.But I get asked about what the most important "staple" items I use are. For baking n' stuff. I just moved into a new apartment and my pantry is nice and organized for the time being so I figured it'd be a perfect chance to share what I can't live without!           The bottom shelf in this picture is what I consider my "baking" shelf. On it I have:

• Stevia
• Chia seeds
• Unsweetened cocoa powder
• Baking powder/soda
• Coconut flour
• Peanut flour
• Almond meal/flour
• Garbanzo bean flour
• Xanthan gum
• Psyllium husk
• Ground flax seed
• Unsweetened shredded coconut
• Old fashioned rolled oats (except it's too big to fit on the shelf)

Upper shelf staples:

• Brown rice
• Quinoa
• Whole wheat pasta
• Chickpeas
• Black beans

         The next pantry is my nuts, dried fruit, and nut butter pantry. The upper shelf speaks for itself - nut butters galore. The bottom shelf:

• Quest bars
• Raisins
• Dried dates
• Dried, no sugar added, mixed fruit
• Almost any nut imaginable

         This is my stevia/flavoring shelf! I pretty much hoard flavors of extracts and flavors of stevia. Call me crazy but it helps A LOT when baking.            The top shelf in this pantry is my "extra" stuff for when I run out. The bottom shelf is what I cook with usually at dinner for flavoring:

• Balsamic vinegar
• Bragg's liquid aminos
• Apple cider vinegar
• Nutritional yeast
• Rice vinegar
• Coconut oil
• Olive oil
• Nonstick spray

In the fridge I've always got:

• Pumpkin puree
• Unsweetened applesauce
• Unsweetened almond milk
• Eggs and liquid egg whites
• Plain greek yogurt
• Lowfat cottage cheese

I've also got a tonnnnn of spices. And lastly, I've got a shelf of protein powder. I use cellucor and optimum nutrition for the most part, but you can check out my full review of protein powders. YUUPPP, that's it! Hope that helps!
