10 Must-Have Pantry Staples

 

Oats/Oatmeal

Oats are one of the healthiest breakfast options around. A ½-cup of dry oats boasts the power pair of 5 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber. If that’s not impressive enough, it goes for just about 30 cents (and only 150 calories). Plus, it’s ridiculously easy to personalize it to your plate by mixing in yummy fruit—fresh or dried—such as diced apple, sliced banana, berries, or raisins, a few teaspoons of preserves, peanut butter, or chopped nuts.
