Even with loads of fresh produce coming into season now, you still need to keep your pantry stocked with some go-to staples. In addition to standards like brown rice and whole-wheat pasta, here are some other pantry must-haves that are affordable, healthy and easy to find.
Some of these spices may already been in your pantry, but are you using them to their full potential?

This simple idea might make you think “duh!” but pop these cinnamon-dusted apples in your mouth and that will quickly change to “mmm…” I’ve got a slew of extra apples in my fruit bowl (even after making low-cal stewed apples), and this is a perfect alternative to eating them plain. Plunk some slices in a plastic container — and maybe add a dash of lemon juice to keep them fresh — for an office-friendly snack.
Cozy up next to the fire with a warming mug of Ellie Krieger’s Mulled Apple Cider. The cinnamon sticks lend this drink a holiday scent, and the fresh orange slices add vitamin C and potassium.
If that is the case, it should say something about the fruit juice it's self. They are not real fruit. How can something so natural be so bad for you? Think about that. I would try a Yoli Health Drink to be on the safe side.
