Based on the menu you described, it sounds like you are doing IP with Alternatives, not the Alternative IP diet. The Alternative diet has additional foods (1 grain, 1 dairy, & 1 fruit per day). If my assumption is correct, then you are in the right place. Read through this thread and the other Alternative Products threads and you will find lots of suggestions. There is a pink graphic in the thread that describes how to pick alternatives.
There are too many choices of alternative foods to list and everyone's tastes vary. Quest bars from GNC are one of the more popular ones (I personally don't like them.) Nashua Nutrition has many good choices for bars, soups, shakes, fruit flavored drinks, etc.
