Here’s a question for you about adding superfoods to your meals……Do you know one simple secret, the one fix that will guarantee you optimal health, throughout your entire life?
I don’t.
The secret doesn’t lie in just one fix. It lies in our daily habits and the simple things that we do EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.
If you gulp a tablespoon of spirulina for five days in a row, but keep eating crappy foods every other day, it won’t do you much good. Daily meals with superfoods can lay the foundation for long-term health and a strong immune system.
So, what are these superfoods that I’m talking about? These are the foods that have the highest concentration of vital nutrients and vitamins and are easily absorbed by our body.
Ready….here are my 5 top ways to incorporate superfoods to your meals:
- Use broth instead of water when cooking savory dishes. Both vegetable and bone broths have multiple health benefits and added nutrition – super easy to incorporate into your meals. Check out my vegetable kitchen scraps stock recipe here.
- Stock up on seasonings. Seasonings are the mixtures of spices, herbs, seeds, nuts, berries, and even seaweed, all the true superfoods. They’ll make any meal flavorful.
- Add fermented foods to your meals. Fermented foods offer increased bioavailability of nutrients, and they are an excellent source of probiotics. My local Seattle fav is Firefly Kitchens. Julie and her team of fermenters make the most flavorful and nutritious krauts I have ever tasted! Or…..try making your own! It’s so easy…seriously.
- Hide your superfood powders and seeds in smoothies. You can easily add things like spirulina and hemp seeds to your smoothies. They are often neutral in flavor, and can even add beautiful natural colors.
- Incorporate superfoods in pasta sauces. You can pretty much hide anything in a pasta sauce. Puree some spinach or other superfood greens, add it to your pasta sauce, and voila super charged pasta sauce!
Alrighty! Jump into your kitchen and start adding those superfoods!!
Much love,
