Food and Nutrition

32. Examine.com Blog
Breaking down scientific research and the language in studies can be tough, and staying on top of health news can be equally as difficult—and time-consuming. Examine.com not only helps us stay in the know, but it also presents information in a way everyone can understand and relate to (like the unbiased truth about marijuana or the 10 biggest nutrition myths). Bonus: The blog covers everything you need to know about supplements so you don’t splurge on supposed wonder vitamins that you’ll end up peeing out (and reaping none of the “benefits”).

  33. Food Politics 
Don’t worry: Just because the blog has “politics” in it doesn’t mean it bombards readers with incessant information about how democrats and republicans are feuding—again. Instead, scientist and nutritionist Marion Nestle, Ph.D., M.P.H., shares important (and super interesting) food news like the future of chocolate and her musings on the free swag at the Academy for Nutrition and Dietetics’ annual meeting. Sure, politics is a prevalent theme, but Nestle hand-picks the good stuff and shares it in a way that’s much more stimulating than the latest study release. Sign us up!

  34. Mark Bittman
It takes an insanely clever chef to bake a four-star dessert in less than 10 minutes—and on top of that, make it easy enough to teach novice cooks how to do too! Such is the genius of Mark Bittman, trend setter, New York Times journalist, bestselling author, and the brains behind hundreds of gorgeous and healthy recipes, which are prominently featured on his insightful website along with excerpts from his Times column. Gotta appreciate a man whose philosophy on healthy eating includes cheddar waffles with bacon maple syrup.

  35. NPR The Salt 
NPR is far more than an entertaining and informative collection of radio programs. It’s actually expanded a lot since it was founded in 1970—including the creation of The Salt, a food blog that covers everything from news to the science behind chocolate chip cookies to nitty-gritty health studies. If you’re looking to subscribe to the crème-de-la-crème of fun food info, this is it. After all, they did introduce us to the first ever Ketchup ‘n’ Fries plant—possibly our favorite creation to date.

  36.BuzzFeed Food  
From breaking the news about bacon-wrapped pizza to bonding over hanger issues with J. Law to doughnut recipe roundups that will no doubt make you drool, BuzzFeed is on top of all things trending (and insanely delicious) in the food world. But despite making us want to toss all of our health goals out the window and instead commit to a lifetime of ingesting food porn, the site is also full of legit information and encouragement to make healthier choices—like tips to make cooking easy. (And then you can always turn to us for super simple recipes!)

No three-pound dumbbells here—Girls Gone Strong features workout tips for women who are into legit strength training. Whether your goal is to lose fat, gain muscle, or just reinvigorate your workout routine, you’ll find all the advice, encouragement, and support you need here.

  3. Eat, Lift, and Be Happy
Blogger, personal trainer, and all-around badass Neghar Fonooni serves up equal parts fitness and nutrition tips and positive, empowering thoughts on self-love and self-acceptance on Eat, Lift, and Be Happy. (Case in point: Her inspiring blog post in honor of her muscular legs, titled “Confessions of a Quadzilla,” went viral.) While she doesn’t post as often as we’d like, when she does, it’s always a great workout or advice on loving your body that you can’t help but share with all your friends (or "friends").

Healthy Recipes

Domesticate Me
Sure, the pictures are stunning and recipes look amazing (hello, ricotta pancakes with maple bourbon whipped cream). But what we actually love most about Domesticate Me is that the brains behind the bites, Serena Wolf, is just like us. The adventurous, food-loving, 20-something graduated college unsure of what to do next. After an airplane jump here and yoga stint there, Wolf landed at Le Cordon Bleu—humbly the No. 1 culinary school in the country. Since then, she’s been creating healthy, gourmet-yet-doable recipes (like this Caprese quinoa bake), and we can’t get enough. Oh, and she’s insanely funny too.

  Minimalist Baker
Few things are more disappointing than finding what seems like the perfect recipe only to click and learn that it has more than 20 ingredients, several of which you’ve never heard of. Minimalist Baker keeps it real by sticking to 10 ingredients or less and limiting cook time to 30 minutes tops (hence the minimalist title). But trust us: Their recipes are far from boring! From baked falafel burgers to chocolate chip oatmeal cookie pancakes to chipotle tofu chilaquiles, the culinary duo (John and Kate) really know how to pack tons of flavor into simple and oh-so-delicious dishes.
