Healthy Food That Tastes Good

Debunking the Myth: Healthy Food That Actually Tastes Amazing

Healthy eating has a bad rap—many assume that nutritious food can’t possibly be delicious. But that couldn’t be further from the truth! The right ingredients and recipes can make healthy food just as satisfying as your favorite comfort meals—without preservatives, fillers, or unpronounceable additives. In fact, some healthy foods can even taste like junk food—minus the junk. But first, what exactly makes food healthy? Let’s break it down.

Eating healthy can be quite easy. Seriously. Healthy food is easy to find, affordable, and can be enjoyed without spending hours upon hours making elaborate recipes.

So, what are some of the top healthy foods that people reach for? Here’s our healthy foods list.

1. Fruits are whole, real foods that are packed with vitamins, nutrients, fiber, and other good stuff that can help you feel and perform your best. Some of our favorite fruits include: strawberries, bananas, peaches, blueberries, raspberries, cherries, kiwis, mangoes, and more.

2. Like fruit, vegetables are can’t-beat real foods that are loaded with lots of the things that our bodies need to be strong and healthy. The good news is that there are SO many different types of vegetables, so it can be easy to find some you love. If you need a little inspo, give these a try: carrots, cauliflower, kale, cucumber, sweet potato, spinach, squash, mushrooms, celery, and so on.

3. Legumes (think beans and lentils) are good-for-you foods that are super versatile too. Add ‘em to stews or soups or enjoy them as sweet or savory sides. The possibilities are endless.

4. Nuts and seeds are a great way to add healthy fats and fiber to your daily diet. Almonds, walnuts, and cashews are all powerhouse nuts, but don’t forget about seeds. Flaxseeds and chia seeds pack their own punch (flavor, fiber, and more). Eat up.

5. Let’s hear it for whole grains. Whole wheat, whole oats, brown rice, buckwheat, barley, bulgur, quinoa, couscous, farro… the list goes on and on.

6. Don’t forget low-fat dairy. Dairy products can be high in calcium and vitamin D (both good things for strong teeth and bones) and may also contain potassium and a good bit of protein. Foods that fit this bill include greek yogurt, low-fat cottage cheese, low-fat milk, and some cheeses.

7. Fish (if you wish) can be a great addition to a healthy diet thanks to omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins such as D and B2 (riboflavin). Salmon, trout, herring, bluefish, sardines and tuna are all good choices.

8. Lean meat like turkey breast, chicken breast, 95% lean beef, pork chop, ground bison and others are definitely healthy foods that taste good. They also pack a protein punch, so it’s a win-win.

9. Soy protein– like tofu, soy milk, edamame soybeans and tempeh– can be included in a healthy diet and may help lower cholesterol levels.

10. Last but not least…water. Yes, water is not food, but it is absolutely essential to a healthy lifestyle and diet.
