You are what you eat, right?
As
the New Year rolls around, one of our New Year’s resolutions, as usual,
is to try being more healthy than we used to be. Sure, it’s not as easy
to do, but when something healthy tastes delicious, it’s absolutely a
win for everybody. Well, below we have listed our favorite healthy items
that not only taste delicious, but will also be on trend in 2015!

1. Kale
Kale
is probably not as unfamiliar as the other items on this list, as kale
has been floating around our society for the past year. Nevertheless,
right now it’s still not as easy to find kale and it’s still pretty
expensive. Hopefully in this next year, kale will be more popular so
that it will show up in more places in town! Cooking kale is fun, too;
whether it’s stewed, eaten raw as a salad, or baked as chips, it’s
delicious in every way!

2. Quinoa
One
other popular superfoods right now is quinoa. Quinoa is a grain crop
grown primarily for its edible seeds. As quinoa is high in protein,
lacks gluten, and high in fiber and iron; quinoa is proven to be one of
the better replacements for rice and other types of whole grains that’s
quick to serve and flavorful. Best way to eat quinoa? Cook it up lightly
and mix it in your favorite bowl of salad. Simple and delicious!

packaging. They are loaded with antioxidants, phytonutrients, low in
