1. Dairy beverage: Springfield Creamery, Nancy’s Lowfat Organic Raspberry Kefir. If milk has lost its excitement (or if you’re lactose intolerant), this smooth, yogurtlike drink might win you back. Judge Robin Miller loves the great raspberry flavor—brought to you by organic berries and organic agave nectar. It’s a nutritional powerhouse too, with 7 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber, and 25% of your daily calcium needs. ($1.49 for 8 ounces)
2. Enhanced water: Kellogg’s Special K2O Protein Water Mix Iced Tea. Didn’t think your water could pack a punch? Add a packet of this mix to your 16.9-ounce bottle, and you’ll get 5 grams of protein and fiber for only 30 calories. It’s a great way to banish those hunger pangs between work and dinner, so stock your desk drawer with them. Bonus: You get 20% of three B vitamins for a nutrient boost. ($3.99 for a box of seven)
3. Bottled tea: Honest Tea, Pomegranate White Tea With Açaí. Antioxidant alert! This refreshing organic brew is full of antioxidants from white tea and Brazilian açaí. It’s light too, at just 40 calories per serving, or 85 if you gulp the whole bottle (like we do). Plus, it has about one-eighth of the caffeine in a cup of coffee—a little pick-me-up without the jitters. ($1.59)
4. Juice: Kagome 100% Juice Blend Yellow Mango Orchard. Like most of us, you’re probably not eating enough fruits and veggies. No problem, just drink them! This refreshing blend of four fruits and eight veggies—including mango, banana, carrot, and even asparagus—has no added sugar and tons of sight-saving antioxidants. Eight ounces nets you a full serving each of fruits and vegetables for only 120 calories. ($2.29 for 11.5 ounces)

Thank you today I learned something new! By the way INKO white tea if it is for sale in your area has 28 Calories and make you feel like you drank a soda of 240 Calories, and wonderful flavors!
Replace all those chemical drinks by one glass of dry-redwine….believe me you will live longer and happier.

It was nice to see a list dedicated to helping people buy the healthiest types of foods instead of the crap we place in our bodies each day on a regular basis.
All my bad cholesterol levels are through the roof,(LDL) and the good cholesterol is way to low after my blood panel check.
These foods should help and I like the one on chocolate for good blood vessels in your legs being that mine are very bad. A steady diet of all the healthiest breakfast foods,lunch and dinner with even beverages is where I will stay. Of course all in moderation.
Thanks a bunch!

This is a joke, right? Healthiest Foods are all processed, sugared, packaged foods full of preservatives, artificial colors and flavors, and added chemicals?
Am I the only one who’s not wondering why this society is growing up obese, living poorly, and dying younger?! Unbelievable how this sh!t is being marketed, and people gobble it up thinking they can be lazy, eat crap, and be “healthy”. It won’t happen without effort. Get off the couch and steam some broccoli.
I DRINK DIET GREEN TEA, OR I BREW A CUP OF HOT GREEN TEA. IT’S VERY GOOD FOR YOU. OR DRINK WATER, IF THAT’S BORING TO YOU. ADD A SLICE OF LEMON, OR LIME. ADD FROZEN FRUIT. VERY GOOD.
