The 8 foods dietitians wish you'd eat more of

Even though healthy eating can look extremely different from person to person, there are a lot of totally obvious good-for-you-foods we all know we should at least try to eat more often.

Salad, smoothies, avocado anything—these wellness darlings are not surprising (seriously, we see them everywhere). Yes, they're often low in calories, high in all those nutrients we need—fiber, protein, healthy fats, etc.—and, yeah, they're pretty darn tasty, too. But they are so predictable. And while we still totally want all those nutrients, we'd also like a little variety.

That's where these eight registered dietitian-favorites come in: They're all totally healthy foods that often get left by the wayside in favor of their more predictable counterparts. R.D.s think you should eat them more often, and we agree that they deserve your attention. Give the underdog a shot.
