My favorite healthy food is…salad, all kinds and shapes, but particularly salad greens and tomato - can’t live without. My least favourite would have to be beetroot, it tastes really strong and “contaminates” everything else on the plate! :(

Least favourite: Rice crackers. Are they ‘healthy’? Has anyone ever eaten a whole one? Ha ha if you did. Why?

I love sunflower seeds, i keep finding new ways of eating them, most recently - putting them into yogurt. Put them in salads, brown bread, stir fries or as a healthy snack at the desk in work :)
I hate porridge. Wished I liked it but I think been force fed it as a child has put me off for life :(

My favorite healthy food are Nutritional Yeast Flakes, they opened me up to a whole bunch of new possabilities for cooking.

I hate hate hate anything dairy, both from an ethical and that horrible feeling it leaves in my stomach feeling. Plus, I don’t really think that it’s that healthy for you anways!

I absolutely adore all types of nuts, muesli, seeds they are delicious and simply so healthy it’s a joy to eat them knowing you are eating the right foods. As far as other healthy options like asparagus i find it is so bland and tasteless i could do with a cookery lesson alone to make them edible.

Pumpkin seeds, they are so nice roasted and I put them into my home-made granola, my very favourite healthy food that I have been eating every morning for many, many years.

Warm creamy porridge with some walnuts, sultanas & honey or cinnamon - what a wonderfully delicious way to start the day! My least favourite ‘healthy’ ‘foods’ are without a doubt vitamin/fish oil supplements, which are both pointless and a waste of a perfectly good chance to eat real food.

My favourite would be seafood especially mussels - the ultimate fast food.

My least favourite would be quorn and similar meat substitutes…although the beanfeast brand is an exception.

Favourite healthy food is the almighty aubergine- it’s so delicious, versatile and low in calories! Lovely roasted with garlic, olive oil and a little fresh basil for the ultimate immune booster.

Least favourite health foods are those nasty granola bars. They’re complete jokes anyway, pretty much entirely sugar!

To pick a favourite food, healthy or not, is a problem for me - I love all food:-) Porridge is probably the one I could least manage without. Like many others I hated it for years and still can’t manage a bowl without my additions. I make it with museli mixed in (Lifeforce or Lidl museli at the moment), and throw in whatever fruit I have - pears, bananas, apples, berries (frozen work great), also seeds, dried fruit. I fill the bowl with water and some milk if I have it and throw it into the microwave for 5 mins.

My least favourite healthy foods are eggs and turnips.

Natural yogurt - eat it by itself / with fruit - or use in place of cream/sour cream for a healthier alternative!

My fave healthy snack is Edamame - you can buy big bagsof them frozen in the Asia Market for about €2 and then just steam a handful for about 2 mins, sprinkle with salt and voila! Brill when you’ve still to make dinner but your staaarving! My least favourite is tofu - always ends up tasting funny, no matter what i do to it!

So difficult to pick my favourite healthy food because I love all healthy foods - salads, vegetables, wholegrains…I could go on! For the sake of having to pick a fav I’ll say brown basmati rice.
My least favourite….quinoa - an acquired taste to say the least!

Aubergines and courgettes are easily my favorites. They’re really versatile and always filling. In fact, any fresh veg, I’ll eat it raw, roasted, boiled, whatever. I always go for the veg first on my plate.

As for least favorite: Goji berries. I find them gritty and grimey and they taste sort of like sickly cranberries. Hate hate hate.
