Any food listed with a * after it is a food that my family eats on a regular basis! I have to say 40/50 is not bad! I am going to be concentrating on this list over the next couple of weeks and posting some great recipes to go with each of the great foods! I will be linking those post to the food item as I write them!

My family has tried all of them, and eats about 99% of them on a regular basis! Especially now that my vegetarian step daughter lives with us!
I would love to see some of your vegetarian recipes!
We have tried or eat 34 on a regular basis.
Awesome! I am going to try to work some of the ones that my family hasn't tried into our meals in the next couple of weeks….. except for the sardines probably! I don't think hubby will be too keen on that one!
We eat 25/50. Not too bad, but I'll have to incorporate some of the others!
I am going to be trying different foods for us the next couple of weeks and I will have new recipes posted!! I am kind of looking at this list as a fun challenge!
If not for food allergies, we would probably eat more than the 40 we already do.
Food allergies really make something hard! Especially with the younger kids!
Only 8 out the list that we don't eat! Admittedly a few we only eat occasionally, but most are in our regular diet. I would have thought coconut would be on the list.
I thought coconut would be on the list too! It isn't in the top 50 but it is in the top 100!
We didn't do to bad! =)
WOW Pretty good for us too! I need to do some Kale and I am not sure what the others are… I will have to look them up!
I put Kale in our smoothies the most! My kids don't even know it is there!
My family has tried all of them… we eat most of them on a regular basis depending on what's in season.
All of them.

Good list! There are a few things I don't think I could get dh or ds to try like the sardines but some of them we could work on like the beets and quinoa. We also only buy whole milk and would never buy skim. Also even though we do eat white potatoes I don't think they are very good for us. As far as adding anything maybe coconut oil, organ meats and grass fed butter.
There are some foods we are working on too… beets being one of them for sure! Sardines… I think we will only eat in ceasar salad dressing!
34/50
32
We eat a lot of these foods, but there are things like coffee only my husband drinks and we don't really do beets or sardines or red wine! 37/50.
40, not too bad! I really dislike beets and sardines, so they arent even close to being on my shelves.
My family and I have tried and we currently eat 28 items on the healthiest list.
More than half! You are doing great!!

28 out of 50
We've tried all of them and eat all but 5 regularly!
49 of them
We eat all of them – I usually hide them in other foods to ease the intro into new foods for my picky eaters
43/50. Lots of these are staples in our house!
Many of them are also staples in our house too… especially coffee!
My family eats 35 of the 50 quite regularly. My 3 year olds fave snack is seaweed!
There are actually don't eat 13 of them coffee, white tea potatoes and quinoa, among them. Also milk products cuz of allergies.
This is a great list. Thanks for sharing/

That was a fun list to go through and see how we did. There were 12 items we don't eat regularly, but honestly, only 1 item on the list is something I've never even tried.
22/50. Definitely not the best, but it's a start.
My family can eat all healthy foods on the list.
I have tried all of these and eat most of them on a regular basis!
We eat all but 7 of those, so 43. I want to get some chia seeds soon!
I find I eat most of them, but some I don't see in my grocery store (chia seeds, for instance) and so have never tried. ..also some of these can be expensive and the fruit I generally can only afford when in season.
