It can be difficult to make vegan versions of classic creations
like mac and cheese and pizza, but that doesn’t mean we should throw in
the towel and stick to the likes of roasted veggies and salads (though
both are delicious vegan meal options). Blogger and author Kathy Patalsky
agrees, which is why she’s created hundreds of beautiful and nutritious
vegan recipes that taste like a million bucks (and not like chewy or
chalky meat- and cheese-free vegan nightmares). Though some of her
dishes can be a bit more complicated to make, there are plenty of
options that even the most novice chef can master. We’re huge fans of
her sweet mango avocado toast, creamy Alfredo pasta (which is arguably easier than boxed mac and cheese), and vegan chocolate taco shake—and those don’t even scratch the surface of what she’s capable of!
Food and Nutrition
Breaking down scientific research and the language in
studies can be tough, and staying on top of health news can be equally
as difficult—and time-consuming. Examine.com not only helps us stay in
the know, but it also presents information in a way everyone can
understand and relate to (like the unbiased truth about marijuana or the 10 biggest nutrition myths). Bonus: The blog covers everything you need to know about supplements so you don’t splurge on supposed wonder vitamins that you’ll end up peeing out (and reaping none of the “benefits”).
Don’t worry: Just because the blog has “politics” in it
doesn’t mean it bombards readers with incessant information about how
democrats and republicans are feuding—again. Instead, scientist and
nutritionist Marion Nestle, Ph.D., M.P.H., shares important (and super interesting) food news like the future of chocolate and her musings on the free swag at the Academy for Nutrition and Dietetics’ annual meeting.
Sure, politics is a prevalent theme, but Nestle hand-picks the good
stuff and shares it in a way that’s much more stimulating than the
latest study release. Sign us up!
It takes an insanely clever chef to bake a four-star dessert
in less than 10 minutes—and on top of that, make it easy enough to
teach novice cooks how to do too! Such is the genius of Mark Bittman,
trend setter, New York Times journalist, bestselling author, and the brains behind hundreds of gorgeous and healthy recipes, which are prominently featured on his insightful website along with excerpts from his Times column. Gotta appreciate a man whose philosophy on healthy eating includes cheddar waffles with bacon maple syrup.
NPR is far more than an entertaining and informative
collection of radio programs. It’s actually expanded a lot since it was
founded in 1970—including the creation of The Salt, a food blog that
covers everything from news to the science behind chocolate chip cookies
to nitty-gritty health studies. If you’re looking to subscribe to the
crème-de-la-crème of fun food info, this is it. After all, they did
introduce us to the first ever Ketchup ‘n’ Fries plant—possibly our favorite creation to date.
From breaking the news about bacon-wrapped pizza to bonding over hanger issues with J. Law to doughnut recipe roundups
that will no doubt make you drool, BuzzFeed is on top of all things
trending (and insanely delicious) in the food world. But despite making
us want to toss all of our health goals out the window and instead
commit to a lifetime of ingesting food porn, the site is also full of
legit information and encouragement to make healthier choices—like tips to make cooking easy. (And then you can always turn to us for super simple recipes!)
We’ve all fallen for classic health myths. Sweetening recipes with agave makes them good for you, right? Well, not exactly.
Authority Nutrition not only debunks the junk, but it’s also a great
source for nutritional information you won't find on many other
sites—like the science behind why low-carb diets
actually work. The best part: Everything is science-backed and easy to
understand, meaning your eyes won’t glaze over while reading overly
complicated statistics and medical jargon.
Healthy Living
If you’re at all curious about that Paleo diet thing you may have heard about, Mark’s Daily Apple has you covered. But it goes way beyond just living like a caveman. Mark Sisson, creator of The Primal Blueprint lifestyle, also posts about how a calorie isn’t a calorie, why everyone should have a morning routine, weight regain, and so much more. Plus, each week he answers readers’ questions, making it feel like he’s right there with you, every step of the healthy way.
While MindBodyGreen is a bit lacking on the scientific
evidence for some advice and claims, we still love perusing it for its
well-rounded approach to living a healthy lifestyle. With a balance of
news and trends (like the latest on the juice and smoothie debate), fitness tips (push-up variations), and posts that make you stop and rethink your day-to-day (like why you should stop listening to your mind and follow your heart), there’s always something useful to read.
Although Matt Frazier is vegetarian, his No Meat Athlete
posts are filled with substance to help readers sustain a healthy
lifestyle. From tips to find life balance to delicious smoothie recipes to reasons why scary goals are the best goals,
the plant-eating enthusiast provides the tools for anyone—even meat
eaters—to find the diet and lifestyle that works best for them while
staying motivated to pound the pavement.
Q is every bit as fit and fab as Equinox, the gym it
represents—and even if you can’t afford the membership fees, you can
enjoy their great content. You’ll find expert fitness tips and fascinating videos (we still can’t get over the treadmill one from 2013), as you might expect, and there’s also nutrition advice plus lighter lifestyle content—who knew leg warmers were back?
Sonima is all about living free and eliminating any
self-imposed limitations physically and mentally. Whether you want
guided meditations with Deepak Chopra, yoga routines, or in-depth takes on mindfulness for weight loss and redefining success, this beautifully designed blog agrees with Greatist’s take that you should make healthy choices because it makes you feel amazing.
Registered dietitian Anne Mauney’s journey from cubicle to nutrition counselor is an inspirational tale that got us hooked on her vibe and belief in intuitive eating, taking advantage of happiness-enhancing
life experiences, and working hard to reach our running goals. Though
sponsored posts on fANNEtastic Food can seem a bit abundant at times, we
love that she eats like a human—pizza, Girl Scout cookies, ice cream. Nothing is completely off limits. That’s our kind of R.D.
While her target audience may be slightly older, Wellness
Mama is still worth reading for millennials. She dishes out the hacks
for health and home, from making DIY laundry detergent and makeup to turning mismatched socks into hand warmers.
Just keep in mind that she’s not an expert, so while she does cite
sources for some health tips, not all of them are 100-percent proven.
With a stable of expert writers, most of the content on the
U.S. News and World Report’s Eat & Run blog is trustworthy (though
we’re occasionally leery of posts like post-breakup foods and they’re a bit behind on the trends). Tell us healthy ways to eat more chocolate and that diets shouldn’t tell us what not to eat, and we’re hooked.
