Quinoa
If you want to spice up a cooked dish or salad in a wholesome way, then add some quinoa. It actually contains almost double the amount of fiber compared to most other grains. The superfood is a rich source of antioxidants, minerals and all of the essential amino acids. Quinoa is also ideal for weight loss, improving cholesterol levels and blood sugar, lowering high blood pressure, promoting heart health and protecting against diabetes.

Spinach
Since Popeye’s superpowers came from spinach, he might have known something that we didn’t! As a matter of fact, you don’t even need a cup of the leafy superfood – just half will already give you the recommended daily vitamin K dose five times over! This means that it can help prevent blood clots and develop stronger bones. In addition, spinach is a fantastic pasta topper or salad base and it is high in potassium, lutein, folate, and fiber. Therefore, this green vegetable can help promote heart health and protect against heart disease.
