Recommended Superfoods

Here's a quick post to list some beneficial superfoods that I highly recommend:
The first one is called Raw Cacao, which is chocolate in its most pure and natural form. It's one of the most nutrient-rich and complex foods known to man. It's also one of the most powerful and highly ranked antioxidants in the world. The ancient mayans regarded this to be the food of the Gods. It can be quite energizing (a healthy replacement for coffee), and mood elevating. Be sure to only have a little bit at a time though and not too late in the day, otherwise, it might be difficult to fall asleep that night. The majority of natural healthy-living markets should carry atleast one brand of raw cacao and most are sure to be organic. The specific brands that I personally recommend are:
and
Up next is Chia Seeds. These are full of things like fiber, protein, antioxidants, and lots of vitamins and minerals. These are also very good and efficient at assisting with weight-loss. The directions to preparing them are: Add a couple tablespoons of the seeds to a waterbottle, fill it with about 8 ounces of water or so, and mix really well. Wait about 20 minutes, or however long it takes for the water to become jelly-like, and then drink and enjoy. If the water fails to turn jelly-like, try adding more seeds and/or decreasing the amount of water used for the next time. Most natural markets carry these as well, perhaps in the bulk section, but here are the brands that I recommend:
and
And lastly, if you're interested in detoxing, I highly recommend Parsley and Cilantro. Perhaps used as a topping for salads or other vegetables.
