At the risk of repeating what everyone says all of the time…
Dark leafy greens are INCREDIBLE for your health. They contain antioxidant nutrients, anti-cancer nutrients, and anti-inflammatory nutrients.
They’re high in fiber and low in calories.
Try juicing them, blending them, eating them raw, and cooking them. Just find a way to get as much of them as possible in your diet!
9. Quinoa
Quinoa contains all of the essential amino acids to make it a complete protein.
This is something unheard of in the grains community, and while quinoa is not technically a grain, it closely mirrors the consistency and cooking process of rice.
It also contains antioxidants, is a great source of healthy carbohydrates, and is gluten-free.
Substitute it for bread, rice, or other grains, or try it mixed with rolled oats in the morning!
10. Apples
Apples are one of the healthiest fruits on the planet, containing antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and even pectin (which has been shown to reduce hunger).
Apples make great “snacks,” because they are very satiating and will help keep you full while providing a small energy boost.
