Tweet One of the things I hear most from people is that they get stuck eating the same thing over and over again and lack variety in their diets. This is where I think superfoods play a super important role in helping to increase your nutritional intake without having to get fancy or dream up [...]
When I adopted a raw food diet in 2010, I had no clue where to start. I bought myself books, watched YouTube videos and over time educated myself on the likes of irish moss, chia seeds, raw cheese, sauerkraut and kelp noodles.

I have been raving about chia seeds for a while now. You may have seen them featured in my food journals as my breakfast staple as I really love them!
