Super-Healthy Food Trends You Haven’t Tried Yet


Chia

Chia delivers 2 grams protein, 4 grams fiber and 1.75 grams ALA. Chia seeds may have celebrity status as the newest super food fad, but they’ve been around for centuries (they were prized by the Aztecs).

Coconut flour

It is packed with a whopping 5 grams of fiber per 2 tablespoons (with only 2 grams of total and saturated fat) and it’s gluten-free.

Vegetable Smoothies
VegetablesSmoothies are often a tasty delivery device for fruit.

Seaweed
Dulse (say it like “pulse”) is one example of a growing infatuation with eating seaweed.

Hemp

Though hemp plants (aka Cannabis sativa) are illegal to grow in the U.S. because of their association with the mood-altering cultivars of the plant, eating hemp seeds is increasingly popular.

Kefir

This fermented dairy beverage is packed with beneficial probiotics that may help give your immune system a little extra edge.

Rooibos Tea

Rooibos tea—a red-colored herbal tea made from the leaves of the rooibos bush—may protect your heart.

Almond Milk

It’s naturally high in calcium and if you buy one fortified with vitamin D, it’s comparable to cow’s milk.

Amaranth

it’s a boon for vegetarians because it’s high in both iron and zinc, nutrients that can be tough to get into a vegetarian diet, as well as protein.
