List of the Best Superfoods

For years I’ve compiled and maintained a handy list of the best superfoods for quick and easy reference.
I also send the list to clients as part of a welcome package to get them started. Today you get it for FREE!
Some of these will be new to you. Look them up, try them out and let us know what you think.
Feel free to print this list, laminate it and either keep it on your fridge or even in your bag to help at the grocery store.
You’ll also be less likely to come away with those unplanned purchases.
