Super Foods!!

I try to incorporate at least one superfood into every meal. Starting with a nutrient-packed base helps the rest of the meal come together—and ensures I’m eating something that’s both delicious and good for me.

Spinach
This leafy green is a staple in my diet. I go through about three 10-ounce bins a week! Spinach is my go-to for smoothies, the base for salads, and even a stand-in for pasta. It lets me enjoy all the sauce without the carb overload. Its mild, almost flavorless profile is a feature, not a bug—it blends seamlessly into nearly anything. Plus, it’s packed with iron, magnesium, and energy-boosting vitamins like B6.

Whole Grains
Quick oats in my morning eggs? Game-changer. They add texture, a nutty taste, and elevate the breakfast experience. As slow-digesting carbs, they provide the steady energy your body needs to power through the day. Try it—you might never go back!

Bananas
A banana in my morning smoothie adds natural sweetness without the need to eat one outright. Not that I have anything against eating bananas—they were my breakfast staple for years. But they ripen so quickly! Freezing them for smoothies is a practical (and tasty) workaround. These days, I start the day with an apple instead. Apples last longer and come in more varieties, keeping breakfast interesting.

Berries
Berries, especially blueberries, are the MVPs of superfoods. Packed with antioxidants, they’re the perfect addition to a smoothie or a sweet finish to any meal. I enjoy them daily in both forms. With their vitamins and natural sugars, they satisfy your sweet tooth while boosting energy and fighting fatigue.

These are just a few of my everyday superfoods that keep me Green, Wild, and Free!
