5 Surprising Foods That are Actually Good for You

Self Care for Moms

With the new year comes new motivation to make healthy choices! But sometimes it can be confusing trying to figure out foods that are actually good for you…plus you might think that you can’t eat any of your favorite things anymore. (And what fun is that??) I’ve compiled a list of some favorite foods that are actually GOOD for you, that you might have been told otherwise.

Well, I’ve got awesome news! You can have your cake (well, maybe not cake!) and eat it too!

You might be (pleasantly!) surprised to learn these 5 foods that are actually GOOD for you! Eating a healthy diet doesn't have to be a bummer! TheSoccerMomBlog.com

Here are 5 surprising foods that are actually GOOD for you:

5 foods you've been told not to eat that are actually GOOD for you.1. EGG YOLKS – For years we’ve heard to stick to egg whites because they’re lower in fat and cholesterol. However, we actually need those things in our diets! Plus, egg yolks contain 90% of the total nutrients in an egg and almost half the protein. If you’re tossing the yolks, you’re missing out on the best part!

    I can eat dark chocolate all day! Do you know any healthy recipes for potatoes?

      We use potatoes in a lot of things (and sweet potatoes too!) I honestly LOVE a baked potato topped with lean protein, chopped spinach, and BBQ sauce. We also dice and saute potatoes with a touch of oil, salt, and pepper and have those for breakfast with eggs and whatever veggies we feel like mixing in. This carne guisada is also pretty healthy and very filling (you could omit the flour or swap with a different thickener): https://thesoccermomblog.com/2015/08/28/classic-carne-guisada-mexican-beef-stew/

    I love all these things and can’t imagine giving them up! I think the key is moderation. Can’t have too much or too often.
