Superfoods galore

Let me break down superfoods. The title says it all they're SUPER.. packed with so many extra vitamins and antioxidants than found in most foods. You can find some of these like chia and flax in most grocery stores and the others at any organic food store or Whole Foods. These are the kind of things that our ancient ancestors were eating, and I'm all about going back to my roots.

Here's a list of some superfoods and what they can do for you plus three recipes to get your body happy, healthy, and running better than ever:

Chia: omega-3s, fiber, and calcium; mixed with liquid they expand to more of a tapioca consistency.

Flaxseed: omega-3s, fiber, and magnesium; nutty and grainy, a great addition to oatmeal

Maca: improves fatigue by boosting energy; has a bit of a nutty taste to the powder.

Heep seed: protein and omega-3s; not much of a taste to them so you'll hardly notice they're there.

Goji berries: vitamin C packed with antioxidants plus it improve circulation and overall energy; tastes like a tart version of a cranberry.

Matcha green tea: the purest and strongest form of green tea prevents cancer, boosts your metabolism, provides antioxidants just to name a few of its amazing benefits.

Green smoothie bowl
1/2 cup spinach
4 frozen strawberries
1/4 cup cucumber
1 tsp. chia seed
1 tsp. maca
1 tsp. Spirulina (optional)
Spring water
Goji berries, chia, flax seed (whatever superfoods) to garnish

1. Throw everything into a blender or Nutribullet and add more or less spring water depending on how thick you want it.
2. Pour everything into a bowl and top with whatever superfoods you'd like.

Mango chia seed pudding
3 tbsp. chia seeds
1 cup almond milk/coconut milk (I have a recent crush on the blend from Califia Farms)
Mango, pumpkin seeds to top (or other superfoods)

1. Mix the chia seeds and milk together in a jar with a lid or a glass covered with aluminum foil.
2. Place in the fridge for 10 minutes and remove to mix around the chia and milk. There will be some parts that are clumpy so mix up the clumps till it's all pretty much the same consistency.
3. Place back in the fridge, and if possible check on it again at the hour mark. It should be ready at this point if you want to have it then. Otherwise keep it in there for a week, enjoy it whenever you want.
4. When ready to serve top with fresh mango and pumpkin seeds.

Matcha avocado green smoothie
1/2 cup spinach
1/4 avocado
1/4 cup cucumber
1 tsp. chia seeds
1 tsp. matcha green tea
Almond milk/coconut milk vanilla flavored will make it a bit sweeter
1 tsp. shredded coconut

Place everything in a blender or Nutribullet. The perfect balance of omega-3s, caffeine, and green.
