Cutting-Edge Healthy Foods: Bet you haven't tried most of these

Vegetable smoothies
So you're already eating kale (or other dark greens), almonds, wild salmon and blueberries. Those are all terrific, healthy foods. But here's a list of "new" -- and much less common -- items that you might want to seek out. Click on this link to read why each of them might be about to get its turn in the foodie spotlight.
1. Chia seeds
2. Coconut flour
3. Vegetable smoothies
4. Skyr (a yogurt from Iceland)
5. Seaweed
6. Hemp
7. Kefir
8. Rooibos tea
9. Almond milk
10. Amaranth

I have to admit, my own experience with these is minimal -- the occasional seaweed salad with sushi, a bit of almond milk or kefir (liquid yogurt, more or less), and a brush with rooibos tea, which can perk you up without caffeine.
