7 Super Foods to Eat Right Now


“Superfood” has become a buzzword in the nutrition landscape, but what does it really mean and which foods are superfoods exactly? Simply put, superfoods are nutrient-dense foods that come with a wide variety of health benefits. From better muscle recovery to reducing disease risk, the impact these powerhouse foods have on our wellness is…well, super!

The key to getting optimal benefits from superfoods is eating a wide variety of them. By regularly eating a diverse mix of these foods, you’ll consume essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that will keep you healthy, happy, and thriving.

Here are 7 key superfoods to always keep in your kitchen, along with some quick and easy recipes to add to your weekly routine!


Berries and cherries

Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and cherries are loaded with fiber and antioxidants—a must-have in your fridge!


Green leafy veggies

Leafy greens are high in vitamins and minerals like A, C, and K. Spinach and kale are easy additions to your salads, veggie bowls, and smoothies! 


Avocados

Versatile and delish, avocados are a great source of heart-healthy unsaturated fat. Be sure to add them to your next grocery list! Pro tip: if you purchase ripe avocados, store them in your fridge. If the avocados you purchase aren’t quite ripe yet, leave them on your counter-top for a few days and check them daily!


Nuts

Nuts are an excellent source of protein and healthy fat. Almonds and walnuts are easy to snack on when you’re on-the-go. Sprinkle them on top of your chia pudding or yogurt to add some extra texture and nutrition!


Quinoa

High in protein and fiber, quinoa is a great addition to your next burrito bowl! Double-batch your quinoa recipe and keep it in the fridge to snack on all week. 


Eggs

Eggs are a fantastic source of protein, fat, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants! They are an easy addition to any meal. Seriously…you can crack an egg on just about anything.


Sweet potatoes

Roasted as a side dish or loaded with toppings, sweet potatoes are a great source of fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin A.
