Try these 25 new power foods

We know the best power foods are whole foods, like fruits and vegetables jam-packed with nutrition and legumes full of protein and fiber. But it is not always easy to eat whole foods all of the time. Sometimes we crave more convenience, even though the processed foods are usually not as good for us.

So, whether good or bad, WebMD has put together a list of 25 relatively new natural, yet packaged, products that could be good for us to have in our pantries.

The list is broken into categories, which I have listed, along with a couple of products that really caught my eye.

• High-Fiber Bread, Pasta & Cereal
• Kashi Vive Probiotic Digestive Wellness Cereal -- Full of fiber, ginger and beneficial bacteria, it sounds promising. But I checked out the ingredients and it doesn't pass my test. Wheat is the first ingredient, there is too much sugar and it contains soy protein. Oh well. Next . . .
• Fat Fighting Snacks
• New Calcium Boosters
• Fruits and Veggies Made Easy
• Oh boy, do I love Melissa's Peeled Baby Red Beets. I buy these all of the time and put them into salads. Easy!
• Healthy Dinners in Minutes
• Good for You Beverages

If you are time-crunched and can't eat a whole food, or if you are looking for a convenience food to fit your healthy lifestyle, this list is a good place to start.
