Healthy is subjective, which is why I put it in quotes. So, what are some healthy-to-you foods you wished you liked but just can't stomach the look, taste, or texture of? I'll go first.

1. Cottage Cheese (tried it again today and I still hate it)
2. Hummus
3. Avocado

    I'm with you on the cottage cheese and the avocado. I do like hummus and tofu.

    Celery I guess. But nothing I can't do without.

    Brussel Sprouts. Asparagus. Corn (I know the health of corn is debatable to some and while it's healthy in my mind… I still hate it. So, I love being able to use the excuse that it's really not that good for you!)

    Fish.

    Watermelon and cantaloupe.

    Second for Kale. It tastes like poisonous lettuce.

    Brussel sprouts - I have tried to like them for 50 years. Still have to hold my nose when I eat my token 2 at Christmas. Love all other veggies though.

    I can't stand hummus either.
    I wish I liked "meal salads" but I hate most salad dressings so I'd rather have all the components of a salad in separate parts without the dressing (like a seasoned chicken breast and a huge side of romaine and some croutons in a ramekin is cool with me).
    I HATE canned tuna. Words cannot describe. I love sashimi tuna and thick slabs of grilled tuna, but canned tuna...especially in tuna salad mayonnaise or whatever the mixture is actually curls my toes.

    I can handle pretty much anything, except tomato's and sweet peas. Cottage cheese I hated as a kid, but I was recently surprised to find out I now love it, go figure...

    As a vegetarian who has enough trouble getting protein, I REALLY wish I liked eggs, but I can't stand them in any form. Adding eggs to just about anything is such an easy way to get extra protein without a lot of extra calories, but I can't stomach the taste, smell, or the fact that it is an egg. Yuck!
