Healthy food tastes great!

breakfast wrap

Many people have a perception that healthy food is bland, boring and just darn tastes bad. Perhaps this is because once upon a time vegetarian food wasn’t very exciting, everything centered round tofu, and I'll be the first to admit if tofu isn’t jazzed up can be bland and boring! No wonder ‘healthy’ and ‘vegetarian’ got a bad rap! I also understand that sometimes its easier to stick with a perception of something rather than step out of a comfort zone to try something new. Fortunately ‘healthy’, ‘vegetarian’, ‘vegan’ and ‘raw’ have come along way since the days of tofu eating granola-crunching hippies! Many reports are now showing that carnivores are happily picking vegetarian options in restaurants because they know it tastes great and is better for their health.

Kale

Kale

Kale is that dark, curly, hearty looking green that you pass by in the supermarket. As you pass it you glance at it and maybe you even spare it a thought thinking that it’s green so it must be good for me, perhaps I should get some, but what would I do with it, it looks daunting and besides it is green and healthy so it probably tastes pretty bad. Hmm not today and you walk swiftly on to the carrots. Carrots are easy, I know what to do with carrots and apparently they are good for my eyes.
