Superfoods are all the rave for overall health. Cramming your face with superfoods is easier said than done though. Some healthy foods don’t have the flavor you’re looking for but there are some superfoods that actually taste good.
Sweet Potatoes
So many nutrients are packed into this one vegetable that it’s labeled one of the healthiest foods on earth. Keep it healthy by not loading your dish with additives like sugar and butter. Eat it baked with cinnamon, another superfood. Or make a healthier version of the popular soufflé.
Salmon
This fish is packed with vitamin B, omega-3 fatty acids, and lean protein. The cholesterol superfood is good for your heart and can help you meet you weight goals. Flavor the salmon with another superfood like garlic. Grill it, bake it, broil it or use it as a delicious meat replacement on your burger.
Quinoa
Next time you’re looking for a super side, choose quinoa. It’s a vegetable, but has the texture of a grain. Quinoa has enough iron to replace less authentic sources like rice, and it’s a meatless source of protein too. As for the taste, you can make it what you want by adding broth, vegetables, herbs and spices or even fruit.
Blueberries, Acai Berries, Goji Berries
Next time you’re craving a sweet treat, go for the berries first. Berries are easy to love and good for the body too. One thing that makes them so super is their reputation as antioxidants. Add them to your quinoa to liven it up.
