No single food will ever outweigh the quality of your overall diet, but if you’re already eating fairly well, then adding in these seven superfoods can take your health to the next level.
For easy implementation, simply add these to any of yourfavorite smoothies:
Barley grass powder
Barley grass has 30 times more vitamin B1 and 11 times the amount of calcium than that found in cow’s milk; more than six times as much carotene and nearly five times the iron content of spinach; close to seven times the vitamin C in oranges; four times the vitamin B1 in whole-wheat flour; and 80 micrograms of vitamin B12 per 100 grams of dried barley plant juice.
What that means to you is that it packs a serious nutrient punch. With just 1 tablespoon added to your morning water or smoothie, you get the benefits of a handful of veggies.
