Spend any length of time researching healthy eating and you will have heard about the benefits of different superfoods. However understanding which ones to introduce to your diet can be a little daunting.

The great news is that we know all about superfoods – after all, it’s in our name! To help you decide which are right for you, we have came up with our list of the 10 that you should be trying to eat more of:

Wheatgrass

A gluten free, edible grass found as part of the common wheat plant. Wheatgrass detoxes the body and helps to regulate blood sugar levels. It is usually consumed as a wheatgrass shot or in powder form, which is available direct from Ibiza Superfoods. Wheatgrass is also part of our Fit Mix.

Blueberries

Blueberries are rich in vitamins and antioxidants and are purported to improve memory and brain function. It has also been claimed they prevent degenerative illnesses.

Beetroot

Love it or hate it, beetroot is a fantastic source of iron and folate. Combine that with the wealth of other antioxidants it contains and you have one super food! Better still, you can find it in our Detox Mix.

Almonds

You may already be aware that almonds are low in saturated fat and high in healthy fats, but did you know they are also a good source of potassium, vitamin E and iron too? It is also said that almond consumption may aid in weight loss, reducing fat and lowering blood pressure.

Yacon root 

This well kept South American secret has become popular among superfood lovers over the years. It aids digestion, which means yacon root can minimise constipation. Oh, and it’s also part of our Detox Mix!

Maca

Maca is also known as ‘nature’s viagra’, for reasons we are sure you can work out yourself! However maca is also popular among athletes, who love its energising and vitality enhancing effects. You can find it in our Disco Mix.

Spirulina 

Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae that is grown in warmer climates such as Hawaii and Mexico. It is high in protein, iron and vitamins B1, 2, and 3. It is said that consumption of spirulina can lower cholesterol, help protect against oral cancers, and improve muscle strength and endurance.

Goji berries

If you’re looking for one fruit that contains all your essential amino acids then look no further. The goji berry also has one of the highest concentrations of protein in any fruit. Goji berries are part of our Fit Mix.

Flax seeds

Flax seeds are high in fibre, omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants. They can be used in granola, smoothies, or ground up and used in bread. Adding water to ground flax seeds can also be used as a vegan egg substitute.
