11 Healthy Foods You NEED To Try

As someone whose best friend is Chick-Fil-A french fries, posting an article about clean eats is probably on my list of things I didn’t really expect myself to do. Here I am, with one of my close friends.

However, with the recent trends of Kale, avocados, health, soul cycle, yoga and so so so much more, I decided to venture out of my comfort zone for a week and a half. Needless to say, it had taken a lot of effort to do this, and though there were some items I wouldn’t try again, these 11 are ones that I wouldn’t mind eating in the future - I might even add them to my daily routine.

1. Avocado Toast


Probably one of the few foods on this planet that you can never go wrong with is avocado, to be honest. Now whether you like your bread whole-grain, raisin, or white, or whether you like eggs or not, avocado on toast is probably one of the best things by man, second to air conditioning. Interested in learning how to make it? Click here.

2. Acai Bowl

You’ve probably seen almost every basic person you know snapchat it, Instagram it, or talk about it endlessly - but probably what shocked me the most is that it was actually pretty good. These berry bowls can be terribly generic, or you could make your own personalized to the fruits you actually stand! And you’ll finish the bowl surprisingly full. Interested in making it yourself? Try here.

3. Greek Yogurt Cakes

This one is actually inspired to one of my friends @carolinecooksclean! This one is an original, but it’s healthy, filling, and only 50 calories! This one is a recipe I’ve tried, and eaten more than once - Kumut cakes with greek yogurt and topped with whatever fruits you’d like! Definitely filling.

4. Veggie Burrito


Want to skip out on meat for the day?? Veggie burritos are healthy and insanely filling! You can get these at Whole Foods, or even personalize your own at FreeBirds or Chipotle! If you want to make your own, the recipe is not too far away!

5. Healthy Waffles


You don’t even have to go looking too far to have a slightly healthier meal - just put some extra fruits on it! Those waffles will taste even better.

6. Matcha


What is matcha?? Matcha is a special powdered green tea originally from Japan that is full of antioxidants and tastes pretty sweet! You can throw it into a smoothie, make a chai, tea, or latte out of it — it still tastes great, and is great for you! You can even buy it on Amazon! Get it here!

7. Edamame Salad


Multiple recipes and multiple ways to eat edamame salad, just throw in some veggies and (of course) edamame and throw some salt over it, it's so refreshing!!

8. Power Oatmeal


Toss in a few fruits & nuts in your regular oatmeal and its instantly much healthier and full of antioxidants! Probably an easy one to add to your morning routine.

9. Chia Seed Pudding


Packed with calcium, fiber, antioxidants and omega 3-fatty acids, chia seeds are simple and easy to work with, here’s a list of at least 10 recipes you could tryhere!

10. Purple Power Parfait


100% organic, the purple power parfait gives you (or me at least) immediate energy and isn’t any less filling! Try it here.

11. Quinoa Taco Salad


A twist on your average chipotle bowl, this actually tastes really good!! And that’s coming from a doubter of quinoa. Get the recipe here!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
