Healthy foods I wish I liked:
Hummus - I've tried. I have really tried to like hummus. I've bought different brands, flavors, and have even made my own. It's a no go. The favor. The texture. It's gross.
Asparagus - This is a vegetable I was sure I would like. I figured it would be similar to broccoli in taste and it would be my new favorite. Sadly, it didn't taste like I hoped. I've tried it different ways, different sizes, cooked at home, and at a restaurant. I just can't get past the flavor. Womp Womp.
Kale - What a nasty, bitter, chewy green. I've tried this in smoothies and baked. It's ALWAYS bitter. I was told of a milder kind to look for, but we have no specialty stores where I live and I'm lucky to find regular kale.
Yogurt - I can stomach some yogurt. Typically it's the heavily sugared kind with some sort of mix in topping. Or Yoplait whips. A totally different texture from the norm. Yogurt is so bitter tasting to me and leaves a horrible after taste.
Eggs - I'm not talking that I eat nothing with eggs in it (home girl likes cake), it's just I can not crack one open, cook it, and eat it or if it's in something where you can see it (like French toast). The taste, the smell, the texture. Barf. I use to love scrambled eggs when I was a toddler. I remember vividly my mom feeding them to me and enjoying every bite. Then I just stopped eating them. Who knows why.
Fish - Now don't get me wrong, I love pouch tuna as much as the next person, but fish otherwise kills me. The smell for one thing; secondly, fish are ugly; and lastly the meat is so sticky to my teeth I can't stand it.
Oatmeal - Something else I've tried to like so desperately. My mom can make the best looking oatmeal, but it still is a slimy mess to me. I've tried eating it on several occasions and managed to eat it everyday while pumping in hopes to get my supply up, gagging with every bite. I can't do it.
Healthy foods I want to try:
Eggplant

What are some healthy foods you just can't stomach? What are some you've never tried?
