What is a particular "health" food that you can't stand?

Lima beans. But love butter beans. Which makes me hate lima beans all the more, because they are lying about being tasty.

Butter beans are lima beans.

Stevia.

To my taste that stuff is bitter and has a funky aftertaste.

Quinoa: I've been told there are good types and yucky types but what I've tried has had a bitter aftertaste I can't get past.

You have to soak it until no bubbles remain if you want it bitter free. Every time I have made it, there is no bitterness whatsoever. It's quite delicious!

To me, mushrooms of ANY kind are nearly the grossest food on the planet.

I second the Quest bars (I don't get what the fuss is about), Kombucha (if I wanted that taste left in my throat, I'd just vomit), and Vega One protein powder.

I also can't stand tomatoes. I've never liked them. I've tried them a couple times over the years just to see, but nope, they still make me gag.

Hopping on the kale-hate train. I tried to make kale chips once and they were literally the worst.

And definitely kombucha. I bought some hoping it would help relieve some gastro issues, but the taste is so god-awful. Like carbonated vinegar, blech.

I like guacamole but I can't stand avocado on it's own.

Okay, I'm gonna say it. I hate Shakeology. I will probably be sent to MFP prison for saying it but it is true. I don't care how healthy it is. It is gross. Way to sweet. I tried so many times to love it and my gag reflex was like ahhh, no thanks.

I cant stand TOFU> EWWW

Oh honey, you've got the wrong idea. No prison bars for you. Snakeoilogy is the worst.

ALSO egg whites. Like are you kidding me? that's the worst part of the egg!

Sorry... it's the only part I like. The yolk just isn't my thing...

Yes! I've never liked egg yolks. I'll eat whole eggs scrambled or fried (yolk broken), but anything where the yolk is separate is yucky to me.

I was never a yolk kid either! Hard boiled eggs when I was younger? The yolks were a necessary evil to me. It's probably why I have no problem at all eating just egg whites these days for my deficit. It just doesn't feel like a big loss to not eat a whole egg.

I really, really love tofu. A lot. I think the trick is that I think of it less a a meat substitute, and more like a giant fried noodle/cheese hybrid thing (I always press, dry and sautee it.) that I can add sauce to and call it a day. When others are curios and want to try it for the first time, I let them know that it is more like a noodle and less like a meat. Everyone has actually really liked it (or claimed to, at least,) as long as I got to them first with that little nugget of wisdom.

That seems like a good way to look at it. I do think of it more as a meat, but I only like it when my husband prepares it...usually baked or pan-seared with homemade smoky BBQ sauce, or pan-fried and seasoned in stir fry. I do eat (some) meat and it reminds me of chicken.

I only like extra firm tofu though. I have seen a lot of recipes & ideas for using soft tofu in smoothies & cheesecakes and puddings and for some reason the idea of that makes me sick!

Hummus. I know it is suppose to be good for you, but can't stand it

kombucha is terrible!!! but i hate coconut water more!! it tastes like breast milk mixed with fruit punch. i actually spit when it touched my mouth. and i agree that raw kale is horrible but i like it cooked. I also cannot eat scrambled egg whites. the texture in my mouth makes me gag.

Just here to share love for the thread - everyone hating certain 'healthy' foods makes me feel normal when I gag at cabbage
