Most 'Super' of the Super Foods

Fitness and nutrition studio owners Henry Richardson and Erin Stewart know that food is our fuel and they choose the best.

"A super food is exactly what it sounds like. It's something that's super good for you," says Richardson.

"A super food is plant-based, mineral-rich, high in enzymes, most powerful food on the planet," Stewart adds.

Here is their list of the BEST of the best:

GOJI BERRIES

High Vitamin C
High Beta-carotene
High Iron
Improves Mood
Goji berries are a Chinese herbal berry that's been around for many years.
It's so high in Vitamin C, ounce per ounce more than an orange. More beta-carotene than a carrot and more iron than spinach.
Goji berries are actually a really great snack. You can have them by themselves or put them in granola to add a little sweet, tart flavor to it.

CHIA SEEDS

More Omega Fatty Acids than Salmon
High Antioxidants
Curbs Appetite
Balances Blood Sugar
Chia seeds are from plants in South America.

Chia Seed Pudding (Yield: 4)

1 cup chia seeds
3 cups nut milk (we used help milk)
4 Tbsp agave
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp cinnamon
pinch sea salt

Combine the chia seeds, milk, agave, vanilla and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir well, so there are no clumps. Let it sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid clumps. To serve, add fruit or nuts of your choice or eat straight from the bowl. Cover and refrigerate to store. Will keep for up to a week in the refrigerator.

SPIRULINA

High Protein Content
Easy for Kidneys to Digest
High in B12
Boosts Energy
Rich in Antioxidants
Spirulina is a blue/green algae.
It's the only plant source for B12, which is kind of rare.
Although it doesn't have a ton of flavor, it has a ton of natural nutrient benefits. So adding it to a salad is really going to take it to the next level of a super food.
