Todays super food of the day for me in the orange! Fiber, vitamin C, all in a convenient wrapper! weet, juicy oranges make a delicious and healthy snack or addition to a meal. A whole orange contains only about 85 calories and has no fat, cholesterol or sodium. Oranges may boost your immune system and improve your skin; they also aid with heart health, cholesterol levels and other issues. Hip-Hip Hooray for the Orange today!!!

This is great. I love the idea of learning the super food of the day. I am trying to learn about eating clean so thank you for my first lesson.
I am trying to learn how to send a friend request to you, having no luck at this point.
Have a great day.0 -

Cauliflower. Fills me up with less calories, and it contains lots of B Vitamins. It also has Vitamin C and Potassium. Plus, it's so versatile.0

Yes to oranges! Especially this time of year, since they're in season, and they help boost the immune system. We are also loving raw beets - traditional red ones and also golden beets. I love them roasted but they are something else entirely raw. So, so good!0

My new love is wheat berries.0

SCALLOPS! I made them for dinner tonight. I never realized how healthy and SUPER they really are. Low cal, low fat and just plain good! Season them with a tiny bit of salt, some pepper and paprika, and sear them on a real hot skillet coated in EVCO (extra virgin coconut oil). http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=1050

Today my superfood is the avocado. I should be stating how wonderful it is for its health. It has lots of B vitamins.. etc... But I just think they taste GREAT!!!0
-
apples! I love apple slices with natural peanutbutter, it has been my go to afternoon snack all week!!
I have not heard of wheat berries! I'm going to have to check them out! Are they like a strawberry??0 -
Quail eggs. Our girls started laying last spring, I have 3-5 eggs a day. More if I need extra energy. Some eat them raw but I can't. Fry them in a bit of coconut oil. Quail eggs changed my lifelong pattern of skipping breakfast.
My son did the research & quail eggs are a superfood, high in niacin ... so much so I experienced flushing first week or two. Thought I was having hot flashes. High in HDL my cholesterol dropped 30 points in 3 months. I ignore cholesterol warnings as MFP doesn't distinguish bad cholesterol from good.
The best part is only 14 calories per creamy delicious morsel.

Avocados are my super food almost every day. I have a half most days somewhere during the day. And Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar is another tonic I drink every day, or at least 5 out of 7.0

Quail eggs! Who would have thought.. Where can I get those?0

(*) My super food today is the lemon. I was feeling very "puffy" lately and a friend told me to drink lemon water to "flush" my system. I drank about 8-10 cups of it for two days and feel a lot better. (*) 0 -
Baby bok choy! Visited a local Asian market looking for Thai basil (scored), but in our browsing found the baby bok choy which sautéed up quickly in our Thai Basil Chicken! Can't wait to add some to my salad tomorrow!

Grapefruit drizzled in raw honey = true LOVE !!!!0
-
careful about the lemon juice drinking....my dentist told me to cut down because it was hard on the enamel on my teeth. Too acidic. Who would have thunk it?0
-
All whole plants are super food! Berries are amazing! Fruits are fantastic! Garlic is just wonderful! But sometimes I like to add chia seeds, spirulina, chlorella and wheat grass juice to my diet when I can. For example I made Mineral Rich Salad with chia seeds last night.

Today's superfood is quinoa. Turns out it makes a great breakfast cereal!0
-
Today, I am in the mood for a stir-fry. My superfood of the day is also one of may favorite ingredients. GINGER!! I like to cut it into matchsticks and add to whatever green veggies I can find in the fridge... add some chicken or tofu and stir fry! Yum. This anti-inflammatory is also known to reduce nausea and upset stomach!0

My superfood of the week (I have a new goal to try at least ONE new food a week) is organic raw cocoa nibs (courtesy of winners/homesense) - I blended this up with a banana, almond butter, cocoa powder and some coconut water and it was really good!0
-
Apples! They fill me up and are delish! Also, cucumbers. They are a low calorie count, keep me hydrated, and taste SO GOOD!0
-
My super food of the day was quinoa. However it is loaded with calories, it was a nice change up from white rice, which I am trying to avoid.
Yesterday my super food was kale and chia seeds in a green smoothie.

Today for my superfood of the day, I took a hint from some other posts and bought baby bok choy! I will chop this into a strip fry and use leftover wilted bits for a soup.0

Love it. I prefer the Tri-color. 1/2 cup warmed up with a few walnuts and 2 T. dark choc morsels. It's great for breakfast or when I need a filling snack. Lots of protein!0 -
My super food today, baked salmon with a brown sugar mustard glaze with wild rice and steamed veggies. Heart healthy, 19 g protein. Total calories for dinner 308. Great for post workout.0
-
my super food today is oat bran...i learned today it lowers your blood sugar level which in turn lowers your insuline production which cuts out hunger...i made energy balls with almond flour, cocoa powder, chia and apple sauce and oat bran...great snack post workout!0

Super Food of the day Ancient Grains Cherrios with silk vanilla almond milk. Tastes great and high in iron!0

So quail eggs are a bit tricky. They have a double membrane. Chefs use some "tapping " method but we find quail snips essential to get that little morsel out intact.

We changed our free range & quail birds to a high protein mix when the brutal cold weather set in. 2 weeks later ... well this is the weeks tally + another superfood .... dried chestnuts and chestnut flour, and diced dried apples.
