Avocado

Once the enemy of calorie counters everywhere, the avocado is now a celebrated superfood.

Just check out Instagram for hundreds of #avotoast shots from foodies all over the world.

So why are avocados so super? They are full of healthy fats that contribute to better blood flow and can help to lower blood pressure.

They are also known to boost liver function and they contain more protein than any other fruit. They’re delicious in salads, wraps and, of course, on toast with a sprinkling of chilli and pink salt.

Carrots

The humble carrot offers many health benefits, particularly after a heavy night out. While they may not help you see in the dark, they are a valuable addition to your diet.

Carrots are full of Glutathione, a protein that helps to detoxify your liver.

Try them steamed, roasted or juiced with some apple and ginger for a quick and tasty hangover cure.

Spinach

We can’t promise you muscles like Popeye, but we can promise you thick, glossy locks.

Yes, spinach is great for your hair!

Spinach is one of the best sources of beta-carotene, folate and iron. It is also brimming with calcium and vitamins A, C and E.

Spinach has a delicate taste that makes it perfect for smoothies and juices. It is also delicious eaten fresh, steamed or stir fried.

Greek Yoghurt

Forget flavoured, low-fat yoghurts that are full of hidden sugar. Greek yoghurt is where it’s at.

This creamy yoghurt packs an impressive protein punch at up to 10g per serving. The protein promotes muscle development and helps to keep you fuller for longer.

It is also full of probiotics, which promote digestive health. If you find the flavour too tart on its own, add fruit or a natural sweetener such as honey.

Greek yoghurt is great in smoothies, for dessert, and as a breakfast topping.

Oily Fish

Oily fish, such as salmon, trout, kippers and mackerel, should be a shopping list staple.

Aside from being delicious and affordable, they provide many essential omega-3 fatty acids. Our body cannot produce these acids, such as EPA and DHA, on its own.

These fatty acids can help prevent memory loss while boosting brain and heart function.

Enjoy this fabulous brain food steamed, in salads, and even on toast. Unfortunately, oily fish are one of the only everyday superfoods that wouldn’t be perfect in a smoothie or juice. Sorry!

Blueberries

These small but mighty berries contain powerful antioxidants. Many believe that they promote brain health and reduce the risk of cancers. Talk about one of the best everyday superfoods, right?

They are also low on the GI Index, so unlike many fruits, they won’t spike your blood sugar levels.

Blueberries are a delicious snack on their own but also work as a breakfast topping or in salads and juices.

Including some of these everyday superfoods in your diet on a regular basis will give you a nutritional boost.
