Wow, there you have it – 51 of my favorite foods (and beverages). Is this comprehensive of every single food that’s amazing for you? Of course not. But it is a pretty solid list of fantastic foods. Variety is the key and quality is the key. Aim for 1 ingredients foods when you eat (vs. processed options with many ingredients you can’t pronounce) and you’ll be much better off.
