This may sound odd, but I've really not tried a lot of fruits and veggies..... like ever. When I was younger and my parents would try to have me try something new I would just say that I didn't like it or didn't want it and that was that. It has just kind of been like that with me ever since I was younger. Now that I'm trying to get healthier I am trying to try all these foods I've missed out on like apple, oranges, carrots, even lettuce believe it or not. Now I've been asking all my friends what their favorites are or things they think I should try and so far it's been pretty fun to do.

So, what are your favorites?? any suggestions??

    I like clementines and strawberries best right now for fruit.

    Neither of my vegetables are true veggies, but I love zucchini and okra. Oh, and a real veggie: sweet potato! Yum!

    For some reason my family never ate fresh pears. I finally tried a pear recently and they are amazing. They've got to be ripe though! Bosc pears are to die for...
    Favorite veggie right now - roasted sweet potatoes or sweet potato nachos.

    HONEYCRISP apples. they are more expensive but they are so good; i'm spoiled and don't want to eat any other type.

    when summer comes, grapes and cherries from the freezer are delicious.

    my favorite fruits are Peaches (I love how soft they are and the fuzzy texture on the outside!) if you've ever seen James and the Giant Peach it'll get you hungry for one! I also LOVE raspberries and blackberries <3 Bananas are cool I don't count them as refreshing but they're good if your looking for something to fill you up! and MANGOES are so good! same with pineapple and watermelon but I usually only eat watermelon in July since they're in season. #1 Watermelons #2 Cherry's


    For my veggies I like asparagus baked in the oven

    Fruit: mangos, bananas, blackberries, pineapple, kiwi, and watermelon. I honestly like all fruit except for honeydew melon.
    Vegetables: Peppers, spinach, eggplant, parsnips, and cucumber. Once again, I like all veggies except for bok choy and tomatoes (yeah, yeah, technically a fruit).
    Honorary mention: delicious fungi. Oh my God portobello mushrooms.

    I like ALL fruits :laugh: My favourites are the summer fruits though - peaches, nectarines, apricots, mangoes, grapes and watermelon.

    Veggies, well I like most of them too :tongue: Pumpkin and brocolli are winners at the moment, but I LOVE a stirfry with a bit of everything. Nothing brings out the flavour of veggies like other veggies!

    Like most others have posted so far, berries are amazing. By themselves, in a food like oatmeal or cereal and best is to make a smoothie if you have the time. Berries are also high in antioxidants. Bananas are another easy tasty fruit that can be eaten by itself or used in foods. Peanut butter and banana sandwiches are amazing.

    As for veggies, I can't stand the taste of most unless I'm using them in a cooked dish, so I just juice mine and drink them every day.

    I add spinach to almost any thing. I use it in my smoothies, add it to soups, eat it raw. Only veggie I hate is Lima beans. I love all fruit, it makes my sweet tooth happy:bigsmile:

    Mine are mostly things I can't get very easily here. Rhubarb, Celeriac, Blackberries and Asparagus. But I also like some of the things grown here that are amazing when in season. Strawberries and Watermelon in particular.

    I'll eat just about any fruit and vegetable as long as it's raw. (Nothing against cooked veggies, but I prefer the texture when they are in their raw form). Some of my favorites are:

    Bananas
    Pineapple
    Kiwi
    Grapefruit
    Mango
    Blackberries
    Strawberries

    Butternut Squash
    Spaghetti squash
    Yams
    Spinach
    Tomatoes
    Bell Peppers
    Cucumbers
    Cauliflower (and you can get it in different colors like orange, green, and purple)

    I think I'ma gonna go get myself some cauliflower and dip it in salsa right now, actually...
