Publisher's Synopsis
The term Superfood is a fairly new term referring to foods that offer maximum nutritional benefits for minimal calories. They are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. No standard criteria or legal definitions classify any food as a superfood at this time. However, most superfoods are plant-based. In this book, we define what qualifies as a superfood, provide some common examples and their benefits, and provide tips on how to include them in the diet. Break out the blender and grab your fruits, veggies and nuts, because you're going to want to whip up a tasty and healthy superfood smoothie recipe ASAP. While most smoothies are inherently healthy, superfoods can make them even more filling and packed with nutrients. Popular superfoods like dark leafy greens (kale and spinach), berries (especially blueberries and raspberries), nuts, seeds and even fruits like avocado are easily added to pretty much any healthy smoothie recipe. These specific are called "super" due to the fact that they're considered especially nutritious and good for a person's health. Of course, these aren't the only types of foods that are nutritionally dense and healthy, but they're at the top of the list and taste delicious in smoothie recipes.
