Superfoods are nutrient-rich food that are considered highly beneficial to your health. I love that these are “multi-tasker” type foods, meaning that they are not only filled with disease-fighting nutrients, but they also taste good, and are low in calories. How’s that for a win-win? These are my absolutely favorite superfoods that I integrate into my diet daily. These foods help boost my energy level, help me fight off the latest virus going around, and make me feel confident in my body.
- Kale // On busier mornings when I’m running out the door I usually whip up a green smoothie made with kale. Eating kale helps regulate your digestive system as it’s packed with fiber. It also delivers vitamins that help maintain a healthy nervous and immune system!
- Brown Rice// Brown rice is a much heartier alternative to white rice. Brown rice is high in fiber, helps boost your metabolism, and helps burn fat.
- Chia Seeds// Chia seeds are packed with omega 3 fatty acids, calcium, and fiber. I love to add a few teaspoons of chia seeds to any salad, smoothie, or stir fry.
- Oats// I love putting oats in my fruity smoothies to give it a thicker texture or I like eating oatmeal for breakfast or for a midmorning snack. Oats are rich in fiber so I feel fuller for longer.
- Cinnamon// Cinnamon isn’t just for spicing up your pumpkin pie. I recently found out that it has huge health benefits, from helping treat diabetes to fighting inflammation, and killing bacteria.
- Almonds// Almonds are a great snack I can always store in my purse. I combat the munchies with nuts instead of crackers because nuts help shed pounds instead of packing them on.
- Avocados// Avocado is a healthy fat that combats hunger and is also packed with fiber and protein. I love topping off my sourdough toast with an avocado spread.
- Blueberries// One of my favorite fruits. Luckily for me blueberries are not only tasty, but they are also known for anti-aging effects! Who doesn’t looking 10 years younger?
