Just Monday I decided my love for peanut butter may take a back seat to my love for my carrot cake. I had 3 pieces of carrot cake to really ‘make sure’ it was qualified to replace peanut butter in my heart. It isn’t totally qualified, but ding dang, it sure comes in close.
My latest food love is the white potato. A little EVOO and some salt and pepper and it’s soooo good

1/2 cup frozen strawberries

My newest food love is frozen yogurt… OMG I might be obsessed.

My lastest “food love” is avocado! I incorporate it in a variety of meals and snacks – in wraps, on veggie burgers (so good!), on salads, and mixed with salsa as an easy veggie dip. After seeing the NuVal score of 89, I’d say it’s a pretty good food love!
My newest food love is brussel sprouts (94). For years they were one of the only vegetables I disliked, but these days I crave a big bowl of roasted brussels, with a few walnuts on top.

So hard to pick just one latest food love, but I’d have to go to with kalamata olives! SO GOOD! And, just for kicks, one of my fave Kashi products: Kashi TLC Mediterranean Bruschetta Snack Cracker Crackers scores 30 on the NuVal scale.
I’m on a huge PB&J banana oatmeal kick lately. I could eat it for EVERY meal!

My latest food love is probably sardines. Kath introduced them to me, and I think they’re amazing. Such an easy way to incorporate a huge dose of omega 3s and vitamin D into your diet!
It’s hard to pick just one latest food love, but I think it would have to be my jar of Crofter’s Superfruit Asia spread. It’s my first jar of Crofter’s and I’m hooked (and I’m not even a huge jam person). And I’m also a big fan of pineapple (score 99). But not just ay pineapple. I like buying whole pineapples. May seem a bit daunting, but they’re ridiculously easy to cut and if you buy them a day or two before they’re ripe (which you can tell by seeing if the bottom smells like pineapple) you get a nice little centerpiece.

DEFINITELY Nature Path’s Organic Corn Flakes with Silk Vanilla Almond Milk–both recent discoveries (I usually did soy milk!) I cannot get enough!
plain greek yogurt (score of 91) – i put it on and in everything lately
My latest food love is pistachios (score of 67)! I had no idea how yummy they were, not to mention they have tons of fiber for a fairly low calorie content for nuts. Having to open all the shells also helps me with portion control since I have a visual of how many I have eaten.
Lates foood love: KALE, especially in the form of chips!

Anything sweet potato (NuVal score 96) related!!
I wish I could find the Teddie PB near me! It looks delish in all of your blogs.
My newest healthy obsession are avocados. I didn’t like them for a while and just had homemade guacamole – made with just avocado, garlic, cilantro, and sea salt. It was fabulous. I’m happy to see that the score is an 89.
Hate to be boring..but I’d have to say peanut butter. Believe it or not I didn’t ever crave it or even Eat it before I started blogging!! Now it’s my obsession
Since it’s gotten warmer, I love plain greek yogurt with frozen blueberries..yum!
New food obsession is definitely steamed broccoli (NuVal score: 100) with a little garlic salt and EVOO! Could eat it with basically anything! Yum!
Lately I’ve jumped on the green monster bandwagon.. I make mine using a frozen banana (91), raw spinach (100), and silk soymilk light (82).
My latest food love is eggs!
My newest food love is green beans (100)! Not a new food to hit the market by any means, but for some reason I’ve always avoided them because I didn’t think I liked them. Now I’m eating them with EVERYTHING
My newest food obession is almond butter, specifically Maranatha Dark Chocolate Almond Butter. I do not have the Nuval scores in my local stores, but I do know (from reading Meliss’s blog – Maranatha Creamy Almond Butter scores a 24. I have a feeling that the Dark Chocolate probably scores lower. But it satifies my cravings for chocolate — so it has to be better than a regular candy bar.
I’ve recently discovered sun butter and LOVE it. A slightly different taste than PB but not as grainy as AB.
Greek yogurt and blueberries!
My newest food love is sweet egg whites…sounds weird but I top them with some PB and they are delicious. Well, to me

My newest food fave is avocado. I love it on everything from turkey sandwiches to cheeseburgers! Nuval Score: 89
So I pretty much am OBSESSED WITH PEANUT BUTTER! I cannot get ENOUGH of the creamy, smooth, rich, luscious, glorious spread of the gods. You’d think by now I would have grown tired of peanut butter (after eating it day after day for lunch in school while I was growing up), but it never ceases to ignite my taste buds!
I absolutely adore peanut butter with Pretzel Crisps, Bananas, Apples, bread, jam, oatmeal, cereal, carrots, celery, cinnamon . . . the list could go on an on forever.
Best of all . . . peanut butter can be perfectly enjoyed by simply licking it off of a rather large and gargantuan spoon
i have to say avocados (nuval score 89). they have been so fresh lately and taste so good with so much. thought peanut butter has been a long time passion and remains a main food in my diet. just switched over to the natural stuff and its so much better tasting!
My latest food love is avocados, which score an 89 in NuVal! I love them in salads, and they have a good ratio of saturated and mono- and poly-unsaturated fats, so they’re a healthy addition to my veggies!

Grapes! I feel like a little kid again because I always had them as a snack. Now-a-days I cannot eat my sandwich at lunch without a side of green or red seedless grapes.
My latest obssession is hummus. I really need to make my own because it is so pricey!
Raspberries!!!!! NuVal = 100, and my all time favorite berry! Tis the season.

Loving fudgesicles…it’s the perfect weather for them and so many out there now won’t do much damage to your diet!

I have recently revived my relationship with carrots. You see, I had been buying those bags of baby carrots for SO long, and I finally switched back to the whole carrots…and what a difference!

Dark Chocolate Dreams peanut butter! So good
I can’t find the nuVal score 
Plain yogurt has recently made its way into at least one meal a day- It’s amazing with honey or nuts, and even as a replacement to butter or sour cream in recipes.
Lately I’ve been digging PB&Js for breakfast since they’re so portable and I can make them the night before and sleep as late as possible in the morning. Plus, I haven’t wanted anything hot for breakfast, so these work great! I like them with Trader Joe’s whole wheat bread, organic reduced sugar strawberry preserves, and Costco organic peanut butter.
I’m actually on a PB diet this month. I’ve started liking it a little too much so I’m going a month without it. Two days in and I’m going through withdrawal symptoms. I need this PB swag! My latest obsession is green monsters – makes up for my PB/pumpkin oatmeal.
Green monsters with spinach (100), almond milk, a banana, ice and ground flax seeds. YUM! The big bag of spinach I bought at the farmer’s market today will be put to good use!
I have been obsessed with coconuts as of late. Unfortunately, they only have a Nuval score of 24 which is probably attributed to their high fat content but after a ton of researching I learned that the fat in coconuts is actually really good for you — so I’m alright with that
My favorite food love lately has been blue cheese. So stinky, so delicious.
I can’t find teddie peanut butter anywhere around me, but I really want to try it!

My latest food love has to be corn on the cob! It tastes great during the summer seasons (even if it isn’t technically summer quite yet). I love it with a bit of salt, but just enough so that it isn’t overpowered. If only the little pieces didn’t get stuck in my teeth
PB is definitely up on my top five favorite foods!
My latest food love is almond butter mixed with a little bit of maple syrup! I mixed the two of them for a cookie recipe a few weeks ago and discovered how fantastic it tastes!

Peanut Butter is my favorite food EVER! It will never get topped by anything else. A friend of mine found a text on textsfromlastnight.com that said “she carries around a jar a peanut butter…just incase”. He thought it was funny and sent it to me….little did he know I actually do that!
I’m really loving Laughing Cow Light wedges right now!

Now that summer is here i have been a ton of banana nice cream. I take 2 frozen bananas (nuval score 91) and sometimes frozen strawberries (nuval score 100) and process them in the food processer. I love u can eat a big bowl without the sticky, heavy feeling afterwards.
Other than peanut butter ALWAYS being my “latest love” (!) I am so happy grapefruit is plentiful in my local grocery store lately (having a NuVal score of 99 is just the icing on the cake…er, fruit!)

latest food love is definitely broccoli. roasted, raw, mashed with celeriac — any way at all!!
NuVal score: 100
I have really been loving your hippy butter lately! the extra crunch adds so much to plain PB!
Since summer struck, I’ve been ob-sessed with smoothies of any kind, but green monsters in particular! I like to mix things up, so I’m not sure of the NuVal score, but I like to keep my ingredients pretty healthful. A couple handfuls of spinach, a banana, strawberries and, of course, PEANUT BUTTER!

my latest food love is goat cheese. i can eat it anytime of day with anything.
I have SERIOUSLY loving red kidney beans recently…I cooked up a batch from scratch this weekend and have been enjoying them in soups, stews, stirfries, rice/quinoa dishes, and burger form! So yummy!

Sweet potato (96 points) is the new love of my life. Baked, boiled, microwaved… so good!
I’m loving sweet potatoes these days, just microwaved, with goat cheese, spicy mustard, and hot sauce! Yeah, I’m a little weird…
But nothing will ever replace peanut butter as my absolute favorite!
My latest food love is feta cheese!
Almond butter and banana sandwiches…droooool
Balsamic vinegar! A quick reduction makes any roasted veggie taste so gourmet! and with a touch of butter melted in…. sooooo goood
My favorite food right now is Wheaties Cereal which has a score of 28. I know that isnt that great… so I might need to try a different flakey cereal!!
I’m loving dates! I always thought they would be gross, but they’re chewy and sweet! Nuval score: 91
Latest food obsession is roasted brussel sprouts! My mom would be so proud
Current food obsession – turkey sandwich made with this amazing bread I got at the local farmers market, avocado, sprouts, tomatoes, and a touch of dijon mustard. Absolutely amazing!
Hummus. I love it and always have some variety in the fridge to eat with veggies. Trader Joe’s White Bean is great as is Fresh & Easy’s Spicy Jalepeno. Most hummus’ score in the 50s with NuVal but I read that Cedar’s Roasted Red Pepper Hummus scores a 61. Need to find that one!
COCONUT BUTTER. I don’t know why I waited so long to jump on this train…it’s AMAZING, especially drizzled over overnight oats…oh my it’s delicious!
Why are coconuts 24?
And I love peanut butter. Yum yum yum yum. I think that’s my fav.
Bananas (Nuval 91)! I’ve always liked ‘em, but I’m learning so many more ways to use them (channeling “The King” with PB & Banana sandwiches, whipping them into bowls of delicious oats, in spinach packed smoothies, or just plain. YUM!
My latest food love is definitely cereal.. I can’t get enough! :S
Quinoa is a new love (91). I love throwing it into recipes. I’m totally on a peanut butter kick right now too…
three words…Wendy’s Vanilla Frosty (23)
My latest food love would have to be coconut!! I have been adding it to all my crazy baking experiments!
I must confess, my food love is all natural crunchy peanut butter.
I eat it out of the jar with a spoon. I smile just thinking about it!
greek yogurt, ice coffees, almond milk…lots of favorites this time of year!
My latest food love is every Greek food because I’ve been studying abroad in Greece! I’m leaving in about a week though so I know I’m going to miss real Greek food so much!

My latest food love are berries. So glad they’re back in season!!
I am really loving portobella sandwiches right now. They are fabulous on the grill!
I’m a little obsessed with pineapple (score of 99!) mixed in with plain Greek yogurt. The sweetness of the pineapple juice perfectly offsets the yogurt tang, and the result is so delicious and nutritious!
Sliced yellow squash grilled with a dash of steak seasoning. delish
Lately I have been obsessed with roasted broccoli (100!). It is a completely different vegetable roasted, in a good way!
SUMMER BLUEBERRIES (NuVal: 100)
Now that summer is here I can’t get enough pineapple (NuVal 99). It is the perfect multitasker (breakfast/snack/dessert). I love it.
Oh man, I just recently discovered honey goat cheese..
Obsessed with “Fro-Yo’ing” my banana in the food processor. Tastes like ice cream (almost)
I just cannot get enough peas lately! Fresh, frozen, I’ve been adding them to everything. They are just so sweet and delicious.

I have been getting into oatmeal lately! Especially overnight oats! I have never been able to find the right oatmeal concoction but ever since I found out about overnight oats…I have fallen in love, they are amazing!!
Quaker Old Fashined Oats = Nuval score 57
Blueberries, strawberries and cherries are back in season! I live for blueberries!! But I only buy them when they are cheaper and in season(winter time I buy frozen!!) They do not last very long when I buy them. and they are a 100!

I LOVE PB and we don’t have Teddie’s here so I’d love to try it!
I loveee Peanut butter and banana (91) Sandwiches!! And peanut butter on anything basically!
This summer I am loving roasted asparagus with a little olive oil. yum!
I LOVE Teddie’s peanut butter so much! The grocery store I went to the other day did NOT have it and so this giveaway couldn’t have come at a better time!
My latest food love is spinach (NuVal score 100) – I’ve been adding it to almost everything lately.
Love Honey Teddy Grahams (NuVal Score 24) these days. My pup loves peanut butter too. When I put it in my oatmeal I have to give him some on his bone too or he stares at me eating breakfast the whole time.
A new recent food obsession of mine is greek yogurt (NuVal score for Chobani plan = 91. (Although nothing could ever take the place of PB) I was nervous to try it, but now that I know I love it, I realize that I can do so many different things with it. Recently, I crumbled a home-made flourless peanut butter cookie into greek vanilla yogurt… absolutely wonderful and of course, indulgent! Yum!
Newest food obsession is definitely BEETS
trader joes sells them pre-cooked so no messy prep required!
My latest food love is almonds. I don’t know what, but they are suddenly very tasty.
As it’s summer, I have re-discovered my love for fresh strawberries (Nuval 100)!
Eggplant! I love it but rarely ever get to have it since it’s so expensive. It’s usually saved for when I go home and it’s not in my budget
But lately they’re super cheap at the farmer’s markets! woohoo!
Recently I’ve been snacking on Blue Diamond cocoa roast almonds, nice and filling afternoon snack with much-needed chocolate flavor, DELISH!
My latest love is peanut butter and chocolate. I literally CANNOT get enough of the stuff! Oftentimes I’ll find myself dipping a knife into the jar, sprinkle on some chocolate chips and enjoy. Its bad (but so so good) news.
There’s a tie in our house for new favorite food: polenta and eggs. Okay, I’m a southern girl (brought up in TX), and I have ALWAYS adored a good bowl of grits. I’d never had polenta though. Obviously, it’s essentially the same thing, but it put one of my favorite foods in a whole new light. I’ve cooked it every other week since I found it in the bulk bins at our local market. And egg….because the little gal down the street from me has chickens, which she harvests organic eggs from every morning. Um….they’re AMAZING! I had no idea what a difference it would make to get really fresh eggs. Now, she knocks on my door every Sunday to refresh my supply!
Banana sliced down the middle with almond butter and fresh jam! score – 91. Its between that, and roasted brussel sprouts.
I’m a fickle lover when it comes to food. My love for avocado took backseat to a love for peanut butter which took backseat to a love for greek yogurt which has recently taken backseat to a love for pineapple~ it’s all good when it’s ok to be fickle
DUDE. cornichons. I AM OBSSESSED!!! i just tried them at a restaurant recently not even knowing what they are and i could honestly eat an entire jar
I love my Peanut Butter too and have been trying to find “healthier options” as I slowly get fully into “clean eating”. I love my freshly ground peanut butters but it’s often very hit and miss as to how they taste, etc. and finding any nutritional values is hard.
I recently scooped up some Jif Natural Peanut Butter. I LOVE IT and it really is all natural. That’s a plus. The NuVal Score for the regular Jif Creamy Peanut Butter is 20. I couldn’t find the rating for the Natural version but I’m hoping it’s even better!
I find that a little bit can go a LONG way too… while a “portion” is 2 Tbls. I rarely use that much! I use about 1/2 Tbls. on each of my buckwheat pancakes in the morning so I come in pretty good.
I LOVE peanut butter! My latest food obsession has been fresh pineapple (99). It is so refreshing to eat during a hot day. Yum!
I cannot get enough watermelon lately! It’s unbelievable after a long run….so satisfying!
But…I will always LOVE peanut butter! It is my “must have” food anytime!
I have a new found love for coconut. Went to a conference and they had fresh coconut on the fruit plate. Now i can’t get enough of it, especially on oatmeal!
My new love by far are sweet potatoes (96). Currently, I cannot get enough of them; savory or sweet these are probably the best addition to any meal (or buy themselves for that matter).
Sweet potato fries! (Homemade and 96 – score).
I just bought a 2 lb bag of chia seeds and have been sprinkling them on anything and everything!
I can’t get enough salmon recently, and considering it scores an 87 on the nuval scale, that’s not a bad thing. =)
My new favorite find just happens to be PB Puffins! I finally tried them after seeing them around blogs and they’re wonderful!
I love sweet potatoes; my parents always liked them and said I should eat them, and now that I do, I realized they are really good! 7 to 8 minutes in the microwave and they are ready and waiting to be devoured! – 96
I’m completely obsessed with Avacado (nuval score 89). Guacamole- delish. Even just slices on a sandwich just adds something extra. Love it!
[...] favorite bar is Larabar’s Peanut Butter Cookie (NuVal score: 31). I have a major peanut butter addiction, so this bar satisfies that craving as well as my sweet tooth. It’s the perfect way to end a [...]
I’ve been loving kashi strawberry fields cereal in the morning. (11 Nuval points) I love all of Kashi’s products actually!

I seriosly have an obsession with peanut butter, but I do love sweet potatoes with some butter and cinnamon, it’s delicicous
