What is a superfood?
Superfoods are nutrient-packed foods filed with vitamins and antioxidants to help your body fight off inflammation & diseases, keep your immune system strong, feel more energized and perform better.
Think of all the colorful fruits and veggies and they are a superfood!
Red= red peppers, strawberries, raspberries, apples, tomatoes, beets
Orange = carrots, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, mangos
Yellow = bananas, spaghetti squash,
Green = kale, spinach, leafy greens, broccoli, avocado, brussels sprouts
Blue/Purple = blueberries, açaí berries, blackberries, purple cabbage
White = cauliflower, cabbage
Some of my favorite superfoods beyond fruits & veggies include pasture-raised eggs, wild or responsibly raised salmon, beans, raw cacao powder/nibs and nuts/seeds. This week, try to add one superfood to every meal/snack and see how you feel.
Recipes I love that include superfoods are any of my smoothie recipes (the easiest way to eat multiple superfoods are once), kale chips, kale salad, Turkey potato soup, Thai salad and coconut curry stirfry.
