When trying to go healthy, there’s usually a list of foods that we try to avoid like fried foods, sugars, and fats, but here are five good for you foodsthat have a bad reputation. Many people opt to eat only the whites of eggs because the yolk is where the cholesterol is concentrated, but in moderation, whole eggs are nutritious and contain beneficial vitamins. When making an omelet try using two egg whites and one whole egg.
Mushrooms often get overlooked, but they’re full of vitamin D and come in a variety of flavors. The avocado has a reputation for being very fatty, but it’s the good energy-rich fat you can benefit from in moderation. Think about replacing mayonnaise or cheese with avocado to dress up a sandwich. Frozen produce is often passed up for its fresh counterpart, but frozen fruits and veggies retain their nutritional value and make it easier to eat produce off season. And nut butters offer energy and protein.
