superfoods you should be eating

3th March 2015
Superfoods have become a big part of my daily diet over the last few years. As a child I couldn’t stomach even the thought of vegetables and today you will be lucky if I’m able to even look at a tomato or mushroom but my diet has somewhat improved during my twenties. I now consume a fair amount more of fruit and vegetable on a daily basis but I like to give my diet a nutrient boost with Superfoods. Whether it’s adding a little Maca to a smoothie like I did last week or snacking on some super berries like I am as this post goes live, your body really will thank you! I’ve popped together a little list of the three Super berries you should currently be snacking on and if these don’t stop you reaching for that galaxy bar, I simply don’t know what will.   Mulberries As someone who doesn’t like raisins, I believe Mulberries to be similar in taste but without the wrinkly, gag-worthy texture. These delicious berries come in at about 43kcal per 100g but are packed full of vitamines, minerals and nutrients which help fight Cancer, diabetes and bacterial infections to name a selection. They are also high in anti-oxidants which aid in detoxifying the body and maintain skin condition against free radicals and it doesn’t finish their either, a large selection of the vitamines also aid the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Mulberries can be added to salads, muffins or eaten dried on their own.   Goji Berries These bright red berries have been claimed to be the most nutrient dense fruit on the earth.

Mulberries


As someone who doesn’t like raisins, I believe Mulberries to be similar in taste but without the wrinkly, gag-worthy texture. These delicious berries come in at about 43kcal per 100g but are packed full of vitamines, minerals and nutrients which help fight Cancer, diabetes and bacterial infections to name a selection. They are also high in anti-oxidants which aid in detoxifying the body and maintain skin condition against free radicals and it doesn’t finish their either, a large selection of the vitamines also aid the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Mulberries can be added to salads, muffins or eaten dried on their own.

 

Goji Berries


These bright red berries have been claimed to be the most nutrient dense fruit on the earth. Big claims for such a tiny little berry. Bursting with anti-inflammatory and  anti-bacterial compounds they aid in boosting immune system function as well as energy and strength. Goji berries contain all essential amino acids, as well as boasting a higher dose of protein than any other fruit. Other super nutrients of the Goji berry include exceptionally high levels of Vitamin C, Iron, Zinc, Calcium meaning it really doers live up to it’s “Superfood” label. I love adding them to smoothies of simply picking at a handful on my desk

 

Golden Berries


The berry that rocked my world over the weekend. I like to refer to them as “natures answer to Haribo Tang-fastics” because they have a sharp and citrusy taste that is oh-so-moreish. Admittedly they sat in their jar for quite some time before I felt ready to give them a taste, they resembled a sun dried tomato a little too much for my liking. But once I had, it was a struggle to hang on to enough to photograph for you all (as evident in picture 4). These berries are noted to posses health benefits which are beyond basic nutrition. They are high in iron and fibre which improve immune system function and also possess benefits to weightloss,  inflammation and bacterial issues. Can be added to smoothies, yogurt or you can just eat the entire jar like I did.

 

Whats your favourite Superfood?

Ad Embarking on a journey of timeless treasures, my passion for antiquing began in the warmth of late summer 2019. When I discovered my father’s old boarding school tuck trunk nestled in the attic of their home. Since then, my weekends have unfolded like chapters in a novel, meandering through antiques emporiums and brocantes across the country.

Each trip unveils a tapestry of tales from bygone eras - from weathered pickling jars and vases to opulent French chandeliers and steamer trunks, and with each trip, I was captivated by the hidden secrets and untold histories woven into each artefact.

Everything feels a little more optimistic as March begins don’t you think?
It’s the start of spring in my book Evergreen shortly followed by the spring equinox so there’s ample time to prepare, nest and refresh. 
The light returns, hello March 🌱
There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad weather attire 💧
A little indulgence from my comfort of my own home thanks to INCREDIBLE @kmp_skin and @freshbeauty Ad 
for the launch of the new Lotus Youth Preserve Resurfacing dream serum which is a gentle AHA serum with prickly pear flower extract said to boost radiance and it was so lovely to be treated to a first trial to get a very first impression of the serum thanks to KMP and her magic hands. I’ve literally never had a facial like it!
