Try to branch out of your eating comfort zone this year and try some of these new food products that are not only tasty, but also pretty healthy. A whole food diet is optimal, but sometimes we need a few minimally processed foods to fill in the gaps, like almond milk, yogurt, and even a little bit of chocolate too. That being said, let’s take a peek at some new food products out this year that I think you’ll love as much as I do!
