Quinoa
If you want to spice up your salad or whatever dish you are cooking, quinoa is an excellent way to do so. Do you know that they come with almost twice the amount of fiber than the rest of the grain family? It is a superfood that comes packed with antioxidants, minerals, and amino acids. Moreover, it is great if you wish to lose weight, improve blood sugar, decrease cholesterol levels, and lower blood pressure.
Spinach
Popeye might have been onto something when he was busy chomping down on spinach! We’re huge fans for its versatility in pastas and salads, though the nutritional benefits are rave-worthy as well. Just a half cup of this green, leafy vegetable will already supply 5 times the daily dose of vitamin K. Spinach comes with folate, potassium, fiber, and lutein as well. It’s on the list for protecting you from heart disease, although it is also excellent at promoting strong bones and preventing blood clots.
