Your Favorite SUPERFOODS!


Quote  |  Reply

I have become very interested in making sure that while dieting the calories I consume are nutrient packed. I want people to post their top 5 superfoods, why they are super and how you prepare them. I will go first:

  1. Blueberries - they are loaded in antioxidants. I eat them on my morning cereal, plain or add them to a smoothie.
  2. Salmon - high in omega 3's, good fats and protein. I like to buy it already grilled from my grocery store and then eat it cold with veggies or I cook it up into an egg white + cream cheese + salmon omelet. 
  3. Tea green, white or black - loaded with antioxidants specifically ECGC. I drink it hot or cold. I like to buy the whole tea leaves and brew it myself or buy it pre-made and drink it cold. POM makes pomegranate juice +black or white tea, very tasty!
  4. Yogourt or Kefir - healthy bacteria aid your immune system. I like to eat it with fruit or make it into a healthy smoothie.
  5. Swiss Chard and Kale - contains beta-carrotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamin B, minerals which supports your overall health. I like to sautee them up with some pine nuts yum!

liseey - sorry I didn't see your reply!!

E3Live is sold at health food stores (wholefoods should carry it) and its in the freezer section.  So, you keep it in your freezer until you're ready to take some (first thing in the morning, empty stomach is best) and you put the container in a big bowl filled with hot/warm water.  This will 'defrost' just enough for you to take a teaspoon of .... wait about 5 min or so, then  open the container and pour off the liquid onto a spoon, or right into your mouth!

Its like drinking from the milk bag.... ew.  Only wayyyyyyyyyy better.

google it for the website and you can read all about it!
