Get more out of your mealtimes by adding these six superfoods to your diet.
If you’re looking to introduce a boost into your daily routine, why not add some superfoods to your diet?
Superfoods can have a significant impact on your productivity and energy levels, giving you that perfect little workday lift right when you need it most.
Start your superfood journey by adding these six into your diet today…
Salmon
Not only is salmon a great source of all-important Omega 3 fatty acid — which helps lower cholesterol and reduce cognitive decline — it’s also incredibly versatile. That means it’s easier than ever to get some salmon into your life, whether you’re making curry, burgers, or even Bolognese!
Perfect for… Chucking into tagliatelle along with some pesto, broccoli, and red onions.
Kale
Despite having all but disappeared from dinnertimes, the last decade has seen kale come back fighting to establish itself as the go-to superfood for clean living. Rich in fibre and essential vitamins, kale also contains lutein which is great for your complexion and even helps brighten the whites of your eyes.
Perfect for… Freshening up your favourite beef noodle stir fry.
Avocado
Avocado might have been earmarked as the hipster food of choice, but it’s also one of the best superfoods out there. Avocados are loaded with fibre, heart-healthy monounsaturated fatty acids and potassium. And if all that wasn’t enough to convince you, they taste great and are incredibly versatile, too.
Perfect for… Adding a smooth taste to your spicy chilli con carne.
Sweet potato
Want all the taste of chips but without any of the post-meal guilt? Then look no further than simply swapping out your regular potatoes for their sweet cousins. Not only can they do everything a normal potato can do, but they’re loaded with fibre and vitamins A and B6.
Perfect for… A quick lunchtime jacket potato with your favourite filling.
Spinach
No longer just Popeye’s favourite, spinach is another of those foods that’s made a super revival! It’s packed with phytonutrients, vitamins, antioxidants, iron — you name it and spinach probably has it. The best thing, though, is that it can be added to anything. Chuck it in curry, pasta, stir fry — it can even work as a healthy addition to an English breakfast!
Perfect for… Making your fruit smoothie that little bit more super.
Blueberries
As well as tasting great in muffins and cakes, blueberries are an excellent source of antioxidants, vitamins, and fibre. They can also help improve memory and ward off cancer, so they’re pretty impressive little berries! Buy them frozen to make sure that you always have a few to hand when you need them.
Perfect for… Jazzing up your morning porridge with a breakfast hit of superfood.
