Super Foods

What are superfoods?
They are the most powerful, nutrient dense foods on the planet. They offer supreme health benefits through phytonutrients, essential fatty acids, healthy bacteria, vitamins, minerals, proteins and other nutrients.
They offer a wide variety of health benefits. These are not over marketed everyday foods that large companies cram down your throat as healthy (margarine, commercial yogurt, cereal) but real foods that have real benefits. Change your routine and start adding these foods in!

SUPERFOOD #1 - Nutritional Yeast

What is it?
A non-living yeast that is grown specifically for its nutrition benefits.  It is not a living yeast similar to those used in breads.

Why is it beneficial?
• With 18 amino acids it is a high quality, complete protein, In fact, Nutritional Yeast is about 55% protein.
• A rich source of Vitamin B Complex which means you feel better overall
• Maintains ideal intestinal environment
• Improves blood production
• Improves liver health
• Helps in maintaining healthy cholesterol levels

What does it look like?
Yellow to brownish small, thin flakes or powder.

What do I do with this stuff?
Add it to food to increase flavor and nutrient value as well as increasing protein content. Most people are deficient in protein.
Here are some ideas;
• sprinkle it on popcorn
• add to soup to add a creamy flavor without dairy
• mix with olive oil and balsamic vinegar to make a tasty salad dressing
• sprinkle on cooked or raw veggies
• use it to substitute unhealthy parmesan cheese

What does it taste like?
Pretty darn good. Similar to a mild parmesan or romano cheese

Our Personal Experiences?
Love it! We have used it for all of the above plus to replace protein in meals that are low in protein. At 6
grams of protein per tablespoon it can add significant
quality protein to your diet. Very good with olive oil on asparagus, broccoli etc.

Where to buy and cost?
Nutritional yeast is available from health food stores.  A small bag cost us a whopping 91 cents and lasts about 2-3 weeks. Can't go wrong!
