Best Superfoods And Why They Are Super

 

Superfood Powders are extremely high in micronutrients like vitamins, minerals, as well as antioxidants, enzymes and health fats. All of these nutrients are essential to your body so you can thrive.

Here are our top favourite Best Superfoods to supercharge your smoothie:

 

 

1. Alkalasing Greens: Wheatgrass, Barleygrass, Moringa, Chlorella and Spirulina.

Spirulina and Chlorella are highly nutritious, bursting with vitamins, minerals and vegan protein. One of the most unique benefits of Chlorella is its ability to detox environmental toxins safely from the body. Spirulina is a potent detoxifier and an excellent chelating agent to remove toxins and radioactive substances from the body.

Barleygrass and Wheatgrass are extremely alkalising and rich in essential vitamins and minerals, it's also an abundant source of chlorophyll - a compound that converts sunlight into energy within the plant. When chlorophyll is consumed it releases a flow of oxygen into the bloodstream, detoxing the body of harmful toxins and impurities, it has the ability to bind to and flush out toxic chemicals and heavy metals.

Moringa protects the liver from oxidative stress, toxicity and damage.  Studies show that Moringa facilitates the faster elimination of toxins and decreases the negative effect of alcohol on the liver, making this a great superfood to add to a morning after smoothie.

 

2. Camu Camu 

When it comes to vitamin C, you’ll be hard pressed to find a superfood that packs in more of this powerful antioxidant than Camu Camu. 

Camu Camu is an Amazonian fruit, boasting more than 60 times the amount of vitamin C than an orange. Helps in the elimination of free radicals and also essential to a healthy immune system.

 

 

3. Baobab

The Baobab tree is commonly called ‘The Tree of Life’ in its native country of Africa. This fruit contains a lot of fibre and calcium as well as vitamins and minerals and can be an exotic and interesting addition to a breakfast smoothie.

 

4. Maca

Maca Root  is an ancient food and powerful adaptogen with a rich supply of vitamins and minerals, including iodine. 

Maca is praised for enhancing energy levels, hormonal balance, mental clarity, and sex drive. It’s also considered an “adaptogen” because it can help the body adapt to stressful scenarios.

 

 

5. Lucuma

Lucuma is a nutrient-dense super fruit harvested in Peru that's rich in antioxidants, iron, zinc, calcium, vitamin C, vitamin B3 and protein.
