The Top Ten Superfoods – Taste The Power
2. Hemp Seeds/Hearts: Very high in protein, hemp hearts contain the complete range of essential amino and fatty acids. I love them sprinkled over cereal or in smoothies. A great way to add vital protein to your morning meal. 3. Açai Berries: Although there are mixed reviews about the nutritional potency of this berry, it still is said to contain high levels of antioxidants. As one of the top super foods, this bitter berry from Latin America is great accompanied with the sweetness of a banana in smoothies. 4. Wheat Grass: Nutrient-wise, it stacks up nicely to broccoli and spinach. But it is the chlorophyll in this green plant that may put it ahead. As a raw superfood, it is popular at juice bars and as a holistic healing aid. High in nutrients and fiber. 
5. Agave Nectar: The juice from the agave cactus plant is an excellent substitute for sugar. But like honey and sugar, agave can still blow your blood sugar sky high. It is one of the top super foods because it takes less agave nectar to get the same sweetening effect as the old standbys. And unlike sugar, it has some iron and calcium in it!6. Bilberries: Another antioxidant power-house, this berry is a must for your superfoods diet. This dark-berried fruit is especially good for the eyes and has been known to help people with serious eye conditions such as cataracts. 7. Quinoa: Pronounced “keen-wa,” this mega grain is a complete protein. Out of all grains, quinoa is touted as the most nutritious. As one of the top superfoods it is excellent as a rice substitute, in soup or as a gluten-free alternative. 8. Spirulina: This superfood is noted to be super for cleansing the blood. The benefits may lie in its high chlorophyll count. The stuff tastes horrible and this may be as close to “Buckley’s Mixture” as you can get! But there are claims that it works; it was used to help heal the victims after the Chernobyl radiation disaster. 9. Cocao: Yes, good quality dark chocolate with a high cocoa base (70% or higher), is good for you! Studies show that this super food is good for your heart due to its high antioxidant count. This may make it good for your soul too! Healthy eating can tickle your taste buds! 
10. Mangos: Do the mango tango with this sweet, tangy superfruit. It is full of 14 vitamins and is high in fiber and antioxidants. It even boasts a bit of protein and healthy fatty acids. Because of its protective peel, this is one fruit that you may not need to buy organic.The mainstay of health is maintaining a well-balanced healthy diet. It is what you eat day in and day out that determines how healthy you are. The leading health research states that this is true! And it is so easy, but yet the western diet has dished up cancer, heart disease and diabetes instead. I found out about eating healthfully the hard way: When I was on the run, I was using spirulina as a replacement to a portion of vegetables. My resistance to colds actually went down. I found out that the benefits of superfoods like spirulina work best as a complement to an already veggie-rich diet. Eating a regular rainbow assortment of fruits and veggies has way more nutritional clout than eating one of the top super foods once in a while or using it as a replacement. Yet, making these nutritional superfoods a part of your ongoing well-balanced diet can help you fight disease, live longer, live younger and live better!
