Quinoa
Kombucha
Chai
Bottled water
Protein bars
Granola
Almond/soy/rice etc milk2 -
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.4 -

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 lmao2 -
Turmeric is really 'in' at the moment for some reason.
I can't stand it, all it's good for is staining your kitchen utensils yellow.9 -
Chia seeds. So expensive!0

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.0

Oh no, there are many of us. I'd rather drink gas station coffee than Starbucks.11 -
I won't buy Gluten Free products. It's trendy to jump on that bandwagon to lose weight, but so unhealthy. The only people who should adopt that lifestyle are those with diagnosed Colitis, celiac disease, or gluten allergy. I am so truly sick of people wanting to give me details of their bowel movements as they carry on about great it is to be gluten free.
Since I don't have Colitis, Celiac disease, or diagnosed gluten intolerance, I have no reason to make that unhealthy choice, no matter how trendy it is.19 -
All of them, on principle
Hummus however...not trendy ..just food7 -
Anything fat free. Although my daughter still loves her kale and cheddar casserole.0

Hi
Pretty much all the flavored coffees, especially the seasonal ones from the Coffee chains.4 -

Hi
The local supermarket had a sign proclaiming the Club soda and Seltzers as Sugar Free.6 -
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.2 -

I can't figure out what to put them in. It's a texture thing for me... welcome help..0
