    For me almond milk is better. Cow milk tends to bloat me and makes me congested. I love dairy, especially cheese so I do not keep it in the house anymore and I only eat it on occasions. At one time I would eat a bar of sharp cheddar like a candy bar., but not anymore.

    I have never purchased almond milk before but I am willing to try it. Is in the refrigerated section like regular milk? Is it pretty pricey?

    Also if I were to add my own foods I would say legumes of some sort and Salmon.

    Yes it's with the other milks & is more pricey. I personally prefer Hazelnut milk :happy:

    So I read an article with this title. I was really quite proud of myself because I had all but 2 of them in my kitchen and I have been incorporating them into my diet lately. Tell me if you agree with this list and if not...what super foods would you suggest;

    1. Dark berries (blueberries and blackberries were specifically mentioned)
    2. Almond milk
    3. Oatmeal (not the quick kind and NOT the flavored packets)
    4. cinnamon
    5. Avocado
    6. Greek Yogurt plain
    7. Eggs
    8. Extra virgin Olive Oil
    9. Hummus
    10. Nuts (they mentioned almonds and walnuts)
    11. Kale
    12. Quinoa

    i have all of this except I use coconut milk or soy rather than Almond Milk and I don't have the nuts....as my SO is allergic to nuts.......i also eat many other things....

    but really "super" foods or not...all good nutrient dense food (which these are) are good for you

    Missing bacon, peanut butter, and several others.

    And I don't get the infatuation with almond milk. It tastes nasty unless you get the flavored kind but if you do that you'll get tha cancer.

    I refuse to call anything a super food until they start fighting crime. I do, however, like most of these items, except eggs and kale.

    If this were five years ago, it would be milk instead of almond milk. greek yogurt would be a no show, spinach instead of kale, whole wheat pasta instead of quinoa, on and on and on. I suspect 5 years from now we'll have 12 new superduperfoods.

    I don't get the almond milk. A lot of people on here drink it -- what's the deal?

    The rest of the stuff I get and understand -- well, except kale which tastes like I'm eating a plastic plant. But I like spinach and that's OK.

    I don't drink a glass of it but use it to cook my steel cut oats in and pour it over after heating. Will also use it on my cold cereal when and if I have some.

    I think all those foods are tasty. I don't think they're superfoods. They are calories with lots of healthy macros. But they don't do anything supercharged for me.

    Unless I can buy a jet pack with those foods. THEN it's a super food!

    In for the jet pack!

    All in all it looks like a very nutrient dense list.

    As for magical qualities, no.

    sounds like nutritionists dont know much about actual nutrition considering the majority of that stuff is crap

    No, people do. Some people just think it's a silly label.

    What's the deal with not eating the quick kind of oatmeal? Nutritionally they are the same......will be interested to hear folks thoughts.

    We have replaced most rice and pasta with quinoa....has to be incorporated with other strong flavors but is really easy to digest and does not sit in your stomach.

    Quinoa-do put it with pasta sauce?
    I have some but haven't used it yet.
