“Why don’t you make a meal out of just the top 10 superfoods?” asked my good friend, Ruth. I had just told her about the article I’d read about the top 10 superfoods and all the nutritional benefits they contain.
Ruth’s idea sounded appealing! I’d already copied down the top 10 superfoods in order to make sure I incorporated them into my shopping list.
All I needed to do was check my list and figure out what I could make!
My Top 10 Superfoods Menu
I perused my list of top 10 superfood ingredients and I was sure I could make something really tasty and nutritious.
So here’s what I came up with!
Top 10 Superfood Salad
Salad Ingredients
- Spinach – Slice into thin shreds
- Watercress – Chopped finely
- Carrots – Julienne or grate

Top 10 Superfoods Main Course

Add beans, 1 cup water, and onions to slow cooker and turn on high.
Cook for at least 4 hours, or until tender.

Top 10 Superfoods Fruit Dessert

P.S. – I noticed that there are many other lists of 10 top superfoods available, so pick the one you like, and try making one meal of as many superfoods as you can.
I had a lot of fun with this. And I venture to say your own recipes for your 10 top superfoods in one meal, would be a great addition to your family cookbook or recipe box!
Happy Cookbooking,
Erin
