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!

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.
