If you’re a self-proclaimed “foodie”, then you probably know that each year, there are food (and drink) trends that come out. When we looked to see what this year had to offer for our refrigerators and dinner tables, we saw that one of our favorite colors was going to be really popular this year.

In 2017, when it comes to eating what’s healthy, it’s all about going purple! Why that of all colors? Well, according to scientific research, the darker food is, the more nutrients that it has. There are even studies which indicate that people who consumed purple-colored foods on a regular basis significantly reduced their risk of having low blood pressure. It lowered their cholesterol too.

Granted, some of the foods that we’re about to share with you don’t have purple in the name, just the appearance. But we’re pretty confident that if you try a few of them, whether you’re already a fan of the color or not, you’re going to fall in love to what purple can do for you and your family.

About Shellie Reneé

Just a woman who digs all things relationships. HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, that is. I've been writing (professionally) for close to 20 years, including having two books published. I'm also a marriage life coach and doula. Sometimes I speak to large audiences or do radio interviews, but usually I'm sitting in my favorite chair, surfin' the 'net and penning stuff that I wish I had read in my early 20s.

Listen, I don't have all the answers, not by a LOOOOONG shot. But whatever I can do to spare folks any heartbreak, bitterness or straight-up drama, I'll devote some keystrokes to doing. 

That's it...in a nutshell. For the most part. Kinda. ;)
