Often times when we’re craving comfort food, we’ll occasionally reach for our favorite bag of chips. We don’t usually run to raw kale for a quick munch, which should probably be the case. Superfoods are known to boost your immune system and we aren’t just talking about veggies. Superfoods can be found in different ways: powder, pills, and in its natural form.
You’ve Met Your Matcha
What’s big, green and powerful? Yes… the Hulk too. For coffee lovers searching for an alternative to their regular espresso, matcha is equally as satisfying if not more. You don’t get the jitters and palpitations (unless you drink a lot of it) and it’s also packed with catechins (EGCG, EGC, ECG, and EC) that are incredibly potent and can help your body detox.
Spirulina’s Chlorophyll Packed
Spirulina is a strain of cyanobacteria, which is a family of single-celled microbes often regarded as blue-green algae. This protein and B vitamin-packed nutrient will keep your energy sustained throughout the day.
Moringa Goodness
The Moringa tree originated in India and is considered “the miracle tree” since its flowers and roots have been proven to treat over 250 conditions. It was a main staple in the ancient Aryuvedic medicine tradition. It’s also loaded with vitamin C, magnesium, and protein. Sprinkle some in your morning smoothie for an added kick to your day!
Munch on Some Edamame
Edamame, which translates to “beans on a branch” in Japanese is a great snack to munch on while watching Netflix. So you can feel healthy and chillax at the same time. Edamame is potent in healthy fiber, antioxidants and Vitamin K. Next time you binge-watch, boil some edamame and top them with lemon, salt, and chili powder.
