Easy Superfood Recipes with Common Ingredients is more than a list of recipes; it is an education in eating. What are superfoods? What makes them "super?" How can they be prepared so as to not only maintain their remarkable nutritional value, but also to appeal to the whole family, even kids? Heather Grover-Rizzo does a great job answering all of these questions, and offers a variety of kitchen-tested recipes using five superfood groups: Leafy Greens, Avocados, Sweet Potatoes, Quinoa, and Blueberries. She is very insistent throughout the book on the use of organic products which, while always better for us, we know, can be cost prohibitive for a lot of folks. But don't let that dissuade you. Even if you can't afford organic, do the best you can with what you have available to you. Incorporate the standard grocery aisle variety of these foods into your diet ASAP, in place of the packaged, processed stuff you may be consuming now. Eating right will change your life!
