I have a love/hate relationship with “superfoods.” What I love about them is that they’re multi-taskers—brimming with various disease-fighting nutrients, usually without providing too many calories, and delivered in a delicious form (think: blueberries).
What I dislike is that some foods deemed “super” are exotic (ahem, the goji berry?!) or something—like, say, sardines—that you’d only have once in a while. Healthy? Yes. Would you eat them every day? Probably not.
With all the other healthy-eating recommendations we need to remember (eat fish twice a week; replace half your grains with whole grains), I don’t want to have to remember a list of eat-this-once-a-week or once-a-month foods.
So, I’m keeping it simple: here are 10 easy-to-eat, easy-to-find, everyday “super” foods.

Add coconut oil, grass fed butter, fish eggs, oysters with the yellow slime, grass fed organ meats, fermented cod liver oil, beef stock, lard, extra sour goat kefir.
I do want to mention that spinach is one of those foods we should buy organic when we can.
Fresh fruits, veggies, nuts, and beans are on my menu now. My fav is black beans and wild rice.
These are all good food but the question is how to get it in the right quality?
Yogurt is way way better if you just make it yourself, ( little spoon from another culture and add milk & buy a simple yogurt machine, just a little electrical heater )
Then you really get an active culture that taste way better then any other big brand yogurt.
Spinach is good but when it isn't super fresh it isn't good for you at all anymore.
btw: Casava is also quite good, I always have a frozen pack of it in my freezer.
stay good
Since I love chili and soups and make I lot of it I get lots of beans and veggies in my diet.
My favorite homemade vegetable soup recipe has 3 kinds of beans and lots of veggies. I always add other veggies depending on what I have on hand. I have even topped soups and chili with chopped nuts.
