Super Foods Super Easy with the Table365 Inspiration List
After Kimberly and I wrote about Super Foods, a busy mom in West Seattle requested a Table365 Super Foods Inspiration List like our other Table365 lists: Lunch, Snacks, Pantry, and Freezer, to post in her cupboard for easy reference. We’re created for you a printable super foods cheat sheet of inspiration so that you and your family can be fast, be smart, and be strong!
Super Foods Meet These Three Criteria:
1. High nutrient to calorie ratio. Each calorie is filled with fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
2. Increases metabolism and fills you up on fewer calories.
3. Loaded with antioxidants: nutrients and phytonutrients that protect against memory loss, advanced aging, blue moods, stress, and low energy. (Antioxidants are found in almost all real foods in differing amounts, including: all fruits and vegetables, 100% whole grains, legumes, tea, chocolate, and wine.)
And Deliver:
1. Improved blood flow and better thinking
2. More energy
3. Improved mood
4. Less stress
There are at least 20 foods that meet the Super Food criteria and all non-processed foods are a good start. Here’s our Table365-approved list. In addition to the extremely high-quality, nutritious value of these super foods, we also selected these five based on availability, cost, shelf-life, ease of preparation, and family-friendly recipes. If you’re going to super-size anything, do it with these healthy and delicious foods!
Be a superstar!
