What is a superfood? A superfood is a nutrient-rich food considered to be especially beneficial for health and well-being. Eat more superfoods! They are life changing in many positive ways.
#1 Chia Seeds- Native to Mexico, these nutrient-rich seeds, known for sprouting green “fur” on kitschy pottery pets, have become all the rage among superfood seekers. And it’s no surprise—chia seeds are packed with omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and calcium.
#2 Acai- Acai is a small purple berry that has been touted as a weight-loss and anti-aging aid. The fruit contains very high levels of antioxidants in the form of anthocyanins, which help fight cancer and heart disease. Because fresh açai is often unavailable, it’s typically sold frozen or in tablets, powders, or juices.
#3 Kale- This rough and tough green beats out all the rest in terms of nutrition, providing more antioxidants than most other fruits and veggies! It's also a fantastic source of fiber, calcium, and iron.
#4 Cacao Powder- Like chocolate, cacao powder contains flavonoids, which are known to help lower blood pressure and improve blood flow to the brain and heart. With fewer than 15 calories per tablespoon and containing almost no fat, cacao provides a strong chocolate flavor without the guilt.
Best of luck,
