Eating healthy does not need to be gross. Nor does it have to be boring or a chore. Eating healthy can be fun and exciting once you figure out which healthy foods you actually like! Here are five tasty foods that you can eat that are both healthy and tasty. Enjoy!
1. Quinoa
Quinoa is a grain, similar to rice, but with more health benefits. It is high in protein, fiber, and iron and is very versatile, allowing it to accompany almost any dish with a sauce or spices. There are a million things you can do with quinoa, so get cooking!
2. Avocado Toast
Avocado toast is the one of the most satisfying and filling meals you can whip up in minutes. You can do anything with this meal idea. You can mix the avocado with nutritional yeast, put lime juice on it, or use any of these recipes.
3. Banana N(ice) Cream
Banana nice cream is the new healthy ice cream. It actually tastes like ice cream and it is healthy. You can simply make banana ice cream, chocolate, blueberry, or whichever type your heart desires! All you need to do is freeze some ripe bananas and get blending! Here are directions to get you going on this awesome summertime treat (or meal).
4. Guacamole
Yes, I know--I already mentioned something with avocado, but can we ever really have too much avocado? Guacamole is a classic. It has the creaminess of the avocado mixed in with some salt and spices, making it one of the best dips to use. It is very easy to make, so get chopping and mashing!
5. Tofu Scramble
You may not have heard of this one, but hear me out. This is so similar to eggs and tastes better once you add in all the spices. You can use salt and a wide array of spices, including pepper, paprika, turmeric, garlic, chili powder, curry powder, cinnamon, and many more. You can also add in vegetables, such as mushrooms and peppers, for a bit more nutrition. And the best part: it is super simple!
I hope you now realize that eating healthy doesn't have to be boring! Eating healthy can be the most satisfying experience ever. Nor does it have to be tough on your wallet. Next time you go to cook (or blend) something up, give one of these recipes a whirl!
