Five Ingredient Challenge

I was reading about the five ingredient challenge at 100 Days of Real Food. It sounds like such a good challenge to do, but for now I'm just going to identify what foods I eat that have more than five ingredients.

Things I Eat Often That Fit the Challenge:

• Almonds
• Cheese
• Chicken
• Cream of wheat
• Eggs/egg substitutes (egg whites only)
• Fruit (blueberries, cherries, oranges, strawberries)
• Homemade jam
• Kashi Autumn Harvest cereal
• Peanut butter
• Popcorn (air popped)
• Skim milk
• Vegetables (broccoli, carrots, corn, green beans, lettuce, onions, peas, potatoes, spinach, squash, tomatoes)
• V8 juice

Things I Eat Often That Don't Fit the Challenge:

• Arnold sandwich thins
• Coffee creamer (full dairy)
• Fiber One cereal
• Granola bars
• Greek yogurt (with fruit)
• Sugarless gum
• Weight Watchers ice cream bars

There's definitely room for improvement, although I won't give up my coffee creamer. Or my lattes at Starbucks and Cosi. I prefer to aim for 80% rather than perfection with my diet. I've already improved so much, in less than one year.
