1Pooja Bedi, Founder of Happy Soul"As the saying goes, 'You are what you eat', and I am not solely a firm believer of this notion, but I diligently practice it in my personal life as well. By incorporating essential, nutrient-rich superfoods in your daily diet you can detox and refresh your body from unhealthy carbs and dairy products, along with fueling up on much-needed energy!"
2Kickstart Your Day With a Healthy and ScrumptiousBeetroots or an assortment of green leafy vegetables make for the perfect base for your smoothies. Rich in vitamin C, zinc, iron and phosphorus, these superfoods scientifically reduce the risk of chronic illnesses, lower your blood pressure, and also do wonders for your skin by promoting elasticity and hydration. Throw in some vegan plant protein or antioxidant rich matcha powder for an extra boost and voila, you're ready to take on the day!
3Satiate Your Hunger Pangs with a Nutritious SaladWho ever said salads have to be boring? Bust your mid-morning hunger pangs with a nutritious salad. Toss in your favorite seasonal fruits, along with some fresh vitamin and iron-rich microgreens, or chia and flaxseeds that provide fiber and heart-healthy fats. An optimal source of fiber, seeds contain healthy monounsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats and many important vitamins, minerals and antioxidants which can help reduce blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure and a range of varied health concerns.
4Avocado on Toast Makes For the Perfect, Healthy BrekkieAvocado Toast is another healthy morning snack you can relish guilt-free. Mash up some avocado with olive oil, chilli flakes, and lime juice and spread it over a slice of whole multigrain bread. You may also choose to top it with a boiled or poached egg to add some protein to your meal. Packed with nutrients including vitamins, minerals, fiber and healthy fats, avocado can reduce the risk of heart ailments, diabetes and even certain types of cancer.
