I wouldn’t classify myself as a bona fide fitness blogger, given that I dabble in a lot of different areas and often those other areas involve a lot of sugar, but I do often write about fitness, and a big part of my life is dedicated to my ongoing health and fitness journey.
Healthy eating has diversified a lot over the last few years. Its passed the point of a basic salad when you’re looking for a low-cal option, and a particular few food items have taken the world by storm as the latest and greatest in healthy ingredients. I, however, am starting to feel like a pretty poor excuse for a fitness enthusiast as there are a handful of these items that I cannot stand..
Avocado
Probably the biggest food crazy in recent years, people have been going nuts for these green machines. Yes, they’re packed with all those good fats, but I can’t stand them and the more I see them appearing in food and the more I see people refer to them as ‘avos’, the more I want to smash them – and that’s not the put them on toast.
Coconut milk/water
I’m not a huge coconut person, but I have drank from a real, fresh coconut on holiday before and that was delicious. These new coconut water products, however, don’t taste anything like that in my opinion, and the milk isn’t much better. If I want a coconut flavoured liquid, I think I’ll stick to Malibu.
Almond butter
What is wrong with peanuts guys?? I like to occasionally snack on real almonds, but I can never have too many, and I can’t bear the thought of them smushed down and spread on anything because I just think its too much like marzipan and YUCK.
Salmon
I’m not much of a fishy person, but I cannot stand salmon, especially smoked salmon. I’ve tried it a few times but the texture and the taste are just wrong in every way for me and I’d much rather stick to fish fingers to get my omega-3.
Beetroot
If I see another cake/brownie/dessert recipe using beetroot, I’m gonna go purple. I just don’t get what is gained from sticking a slimy vegetable into a pudding..
Are there any food crazes that you’re not on board with? I’d love to know if anyone shares my opinions!

I also cannot stand avocado and I feel like I hate it more because my sister and mother are forever and always buying it and eating it with whatever they find in the fridge 🙉
I made the mistake of putting beetroot in a smoothie the other day, honestly one of the worst decisions I’ve ever made. YUCK >.<;
I couldn’t agree with you more. Especially avocado, I can’t stand it!
I’m with you on all of these…plus, avocado gives me the worst stomach aches so that just stinks
I am with you on nearly all of these….
I do like beetroot but it has no place in cakes or brownies x
This one is more of a drink but I don’t see why people love La Croix. The taste are lack thereof bothers me. I’m not big on coconut water either.
I love peanuts but hate almonds so everything with almond butter always annoys me, and I can’t stand the taste of coconut water- I think it tastes revolting!
