The word “hipster” is such a widely used one nowadays that you can find it being used to describe everything from fashion to music to gadgets. Yet, despite being prefixed to almost everything that we use or consume on a daily basis, it shows no signs of stopping.
Today, we even have hipster foods. While some are just foods we’ve been consuming for ages but with more colours or served in novelty shapes – we’re looking at you, spaghetti donut – there are some that are actually pretty good in terms of taste and for our health.
Here are 5 to pay attention to…
Avocado toast

The avocado toast isn’t exactly new and ground-breaking when it comes to hipster foods, but despite being (arguably) overshadowed by the novel avocado latte in recent times, it’s still pretty to look at, delicious to the taste buds, and (also arguably) healthy.
Avocados are a great source of vitamins, fibre, potassium, and heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids.

Often served as a slush or puree topped with fruits, nuts, and oats, the acai bowl is an explosion of pretty colours that when consumed in moderation, supplies our bodies with antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and other goodness depending on the ingredients you have in the bowl.
Kombucha

Upon discovering how kombucha is made – from scoby, a colony of bacteria and yeast – many can be immediately put off. But, this sweetened fermented tea is said to help prevent or combat cancer, arthritis, and other degenerative diseases. It’s also supposedly been around for 2,000 years so it must be doing something right.
Cauliflower everything

From rice to pizza, steamed to baked, cauliflower in all forms are said to be low in carbs and calories while containing high amounts of vitamins and potassium. This cruciferous vegetable is also known to help reduce the risk of cancer and fight inflammation among other things.
Plant-based milk

No, this is neither a typo nor are you going crazy because plant-based milk is a thing. In fact, plant-based milk may even be better than dairy milk and its derivatives as it lowers the risk of exposure to antibiotic residue, hormones, and pesticides.
Plant-based milk such as Biogreen’s Pink Lady, O’Kid, and O’Tigres are also 100% natural and organic with no added preservatives, flavourings, and colourings, lactose and gluten-free; contains 0% cholesterol, 9 types of amino acids, and 6 to 8 times higher dietary fibre content for better bowel movement.
