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!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
