    Hummus is really quite nice. :)

    Regarding yogurt ...

    I tried Greek Yogurt because there were some flavours I thought I'd like, but I don't like the texture. I do, however, like the texture of the low cal yogurts ... lighter and fluffier. So that's what I choose.

    Oh that post made me feel bad haha. Hummus is basically just like a bean dip. Just with a different kind. It's actually made from chick peas (garbanzo beans), I like avocados, never heard of kombucha what is that?, chai is one of my favorite tea's, I can't use the tap water here. The apartment's pipes I'm renting has potential lead in them, so we buy bottled water and filters. I like soy milk and rice milk and like half the *kitten* you wrote haha. Man I feel so bad lmao

    What is tumeric? I saw that on YouTube on all the videos. People putting it on their face& teeth etc. It kind of looks like a weird mustard seasoning.

    Anything fat free. Although my daughter still loves her kale and cheddar casserole.

    Hi
    Pretty much all the flavored coffees, especially the seasonal ones from the Coffee chains.

    Haha love this thread. For me...

    kale
    tofu noodles
    kombucha
    Water infused with veggies
    Smoothies with spinach
    popcorn in a bag (I don't understand why this is so popular, there is literally a whole entire aisle at my grocery store dedicated to already prepopped bagged popcorn)

    Chia seeds are where I draw the line too. I love "trendy" foods, variety, fusion, have always been an adventurous eater. Okra, spicy stuff, new flavors, texture, bring it.

    chia seeds aren't food. Just unpleasant, they don't add anything positive to anything they are in.

    Also I can't get with greens in smoothies. Never liked vegetable juice. Love vegetables and don't need to hide them in things.

    And I am having mental pushback vs eating bugs. I know logically it makes sense to use them as a resource, and I like crawfish and shrimp, they look like bugs, but crickets, etc. are difficult for me to countenance.

    Oh, and I don't like Starbucks coffee. I think it tastes burnt.

    OMG I thought I was the only one. Can't stand the stuff.
    Yeah, I don't like their black coffee at all. I honestly prever McDonald's for that.

    I will say I love the chilie mocha, but thats just chocolate

    Tumeric is a spice. That's not trendy, you have been eating it for years in curries.

    I can't figure out what to put them in. It's a texture thing for me... welcome help..
