Superfoods . . . .yum

I just opened my daily Real Simple email and look through the article about 30 Superfoods. I was pleased to discover that I eat most of them and over half are currently in my kitchen. I then thought to myself, "Are there coupons for these foods?" Hmmmm . . . I think I need to do some more research but it seems to me that it will be harder to find coupons for these foods than for junk like soda and sodium-filled instant noodles packaged in styrofoam.


What are my favorite of the 30 foods?


Mushrooms- I LOVE MUSHROOMS! I was raised to love them, thanks Mom! I currently have three varieties in my fridge- portabellos, creminis and shitakes. I buy most of my mushrooms from Papa Spud's. They are a home food delivery service of mostly organic products. I don't buy


Quinoa- I have regular quinoa bought from the same place as the barley. I also found a brown rice and quinoa product made by Seeds of Change. I can buy it in a 4-pk at Costco or single packs at Krogers. I recently got two coupons from their website.

Eggs- I love eggs. Recently, I've been trying to buy cage-free to make myself feel better. I've also been trying to reduce the amount of yolks, so I generally substitute two whites for one yolk to be healthier. And of course, I have $1 coupons to bring the price of my cage-free organic eggs down to a reasonable price.

Other superfoods I eat: Barley, Walnuts, Whole grain pasta, Natural Peanut and Almond butter, Oatmeal,
Almonds, Lentils, Bulgur, Spinach, Kiwi, Wild Salmon, EVOO, Chicken breasts, Kale,  Avocados, Kidney Beans, Sweet potatoes, Chard, Edamame, Pumpkin, Oranges, Non-fat Greek yogurt, Broccoli, Black beans


That's 27 out of 30!


It turns out that most of the superfoods I eat I either purchase at Trader Joes, online through bulk food stores or through Papa Spuds ( home-delivery of fresh produce). 




And the ones I DON'T eat: 


Skim milk- I can't do it. I grew up on 2%, switched to 1% in college, but I haven't been able drink skim.


Blueberries- The only berry I don't like and I'm not sure why. I eat lots of blackberries, raspberries, cranberries, cherries and strawberries and of course, I only buy when they're on sale. 


Sardines- Not going happen.
