Superfoods have become a buzzword in the health and wellness industry, but what exactly are they? In this blog post, Superfit Foods’ Florida meals prep chefs explain what exactly makes a superfood, and the 7 top superfoods you should be eating.
While many foods can provide health benefits, superfoods pack a powerful punch when it comes to delivering nutrients. The list of popular super foods includes antioxidant foods, foods that give you energy, and more.
Make sure you include these 7 super foods in your weekly meal prep:
Sweet potatoes are a root vegetable loaded with many nutrients, including potassium, fiber, and vitamins A and C. They're also a good source of carotenoids, a type of antioxidant that may reduce your risk of certain types of cancer. Despite their sweet flavor, they may improve blood sugar control in type 2 diabetes.
SuperFit Foods offers a number of pre prepared meals containing this super food, including: Diced chicken with sweet potato noodles and basil pesto, Beef brisket with diced sweet potato and zucchini, and Meatless crumbles, sweet potato noodles in a marinara sauce and spinach.
2. Eggs
Eggs have been a controversial ingredient due to their high cholesterol content, but they remain one of the healthiest foods you can eat. Whole eggs are rich in many nutrients, including B vitamins, choline, selenium, vitamin A, iron, protein, and phosphorus, making them an essential element of a healthy daily meal plan.
SuperFit’s egg-based prepared meals include
breakfast offerings such as Turkey bacon, scrambled eggs and diced sweet potatoes, Southwest omelette, and Mexicana flatbread.
3.
Garlic
Garlic may be effective in reducing cholesterol and blood pressure, as well as supporting immune function. Garlic can be easily added to meals to boost both flavor and health benefits.
Many of SuperFit’s pre prepared meals contain garlic, including: Honey garlic shrimp, brown rice and snap peas, Turkey chili bowl, and Curry chicken, brown rice and asparagus.
4. Salmon
Salmon is a nutritious fish packed with healthy fats, protein, B vitamins, potassium, and selenium. It’s among the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids, known for a variety of benefits such as reducing inflammation. It may also help you maintain a healthy weight.
You can have salmon in many pre made meals delivered by Superfit, including Salmon, brown rice and asparagus, Salmon and brussel spouts, and Salmon, sweet potato noodles and zucchini.
5. Mushrooms
Mushrooms are a unique superfood that contains vitamin A, potassium, fiber, and several antioxidants not present in most other foods. They may also play a role in reducing inflammation and preventing certain cancers.
You can find mushrooms in many of SuperFit’s healthy meal prep ideas, such as our Godfather bowl, Teriyaki chicken stir fry, and Chicken portabella bowl.
6. Legumes
Legumes are a group of foods that include beans, lentils, and peas. They are a rich source of B vitamins, minerals, protein, and fiber. Research indicates that they offer health benefits including improved type 2 diabetes management, and reduced blood pressure and cholesterol.
SuperFit’s options include our Pulled chicken, cilantro white rice, beans and corn, Duval bowl, and Quinoa burger, garbanzo beans and asparagus.
7. Dark, Leafy Greens
Greens like kale and spinach are excellent sources of nutrients, including folate, zinc, calcium, iron, magnesium, vitamin C, and fiber. Part of what makes this category so super is their potential to reduce your risk of chronic illnesses, including heart disease and type 2 diabetes. They also contain high levels of anti-inflammatory compounds known as carotenoids, which may protect against certain types of cancer.
