How Many of These Superfoods Are You Eating?

I pretty much eat all of those daily except flax I only do it once a week thrown over my salads and salmon I swap for either talapia or tuna.

Good post. I think it's fairly right-on as per other nutrition books I've read. I eat just about everything on the list during a regular week. More berries would be smart, I have a freezer full from our gardens this year!

1. Whole Eggs: I usually end up boiling the eggs, using half to create pickled eggs. I do not enjoy eggs any other way (other then scrambled)
2. Fish Oil: Nope.
3. Wild Salmon: Maybe once a month.
4. Berries: They are so expensive, but I tend to have them with my yogurt.
5. Yogurt: Greek yogurt is pretty good stuff I usually mix blueberries,strawberries, and sometimes even grapes. When things are getting close to the throw away date, I usually end up mix in all of the above together (oh, how daring!)
6. Flax Seeds: Not quite sure where to find it? Is it close to the oats?
7. Extra Virgin Olive Oil: Yes, great with salads and many other things. Also great for when popping my own popcorn (on the stove top.)
8. Mixed Nuts: On occasion. Not a big fan of most nuts, except walnuts! But I enjoy cracking them more, haha.
9. Red Meat: Not often.
10. Broccoli: One of my favorites, great with salads.
12. Turkey: We tend to make something with turkey once a month.
13. Quinoa: No, I've never heard of it.
14. Oats: Most mornings.
15. Tomatoes: Fantastic, I really love cherry tomato's. Great in chilli, though the beans take over most of the time.
16. Oranges: Not often. On occasion orange juice.
17. Apples: A couple of times a week.
18. Carrots: Half of the week it seems.
19. Water: More than enough.
20. Green Tea: I make a kettle full every day, I sometimes add honey and lemon or lime juice.

I really enjoyed reading through this thread, and the post was pretty interesting.

Thanks for posting!

All, daily.

Can I ask why you think green tea isn't proper if it's in teabags? It's the same stuff. Same plant, same in every way bar the delivery system, bags are for convenience if you don't want to make a whole pot. That's the only difference.

While on tea, black tea and oolong actually contains more antioxidants than green. The only it isn't touted as having the same health benefits is that most people have black tea with milk.





Anyway, aside from the meat/fish (vegetarian) and oranges (major food allergy, but I eat red peppers and baobab powder, which have more vit C) I eat all of those things most days.

all but the meat and fish oil -- also gave up on flaxseed for the time being

Glad you brought up Chia seeds....more people should try them! I have them every day.
