List of Super Foods

Got from Better Homes and Gardens Feb 2012

Berries
Chia Seeds (don't require grinding and are an easy addition to anything from rice pilaf to lean burger patties)
Broccoli
Fish (wild salmon, herring and rainbow trout are low in contaminants)
Dark Greens (Kale, collard greens and mustard greens)
Beans
Nuts
Oats
Olive Oil
Pure Pomegranite Juice (add to sparkling water or blend it with berries and low fat yogurt for a smoothie - has three times the antiozidant power of red wine)
