How to Add Superfood Powders to Your Diet

Posted by Carrington Farms on 30th Jun 2021

We are living in the age of information and that has allowed for a better understanding of our diets and the nutrition we need to fulfill them. More than just another member of your pantry, superfoods are considered nutrient-dense foods from fish, dairy, or plant-based sources.

Consumed to spark positive health benefits, superfoods can best be enjoyed through a powder form for quick consumption. Superfoods have become an incredibly popular buzzword in recent years as shoppers look to establish a positive relationship with their diet through mindful adjustments.

Today, let's take some time to explore how we can supercharge our diet, improve our health, and incorporate delicious superfood powder into our favorite recipes along the way!

Best Superfood Powders

While nothing can beat consuming organic and raw vegetables, superfood powder provides a valid way to do so outside conventional means. Superfood powders are simply a hyper-convenient way to synthesize nutrients into our body, maximizing our intake in a few of the most important areas.

Using superfood powders is simple and tasty, but you have to know which powders to pick up. Let's take a look at some of the most effective and health-positive superfood powders on the market today.

Beet Root Powder

Beetroot powder, sometimes known as just beet powder, dates all the way back to Ancient Rome. We know that beets provide nitrates that improve our heart health and blood pressure. Beet root powder is also ideal forimproving our stamina and endurance while promoting a faster recovery.

Goji Berry Powder

Goji berries are known for their distinct red bodies and powerful antioxidants. Goji berries are sold both dried and powdered and can be incorporated into a number of drinks, juice blends, fitness supplements, and recipes. Otherwise known as wolfberries, Goji berry powder is brimming with nutrition as it offers bountiful amounts of vitamin A and C as well as iron, fiber, and key protein.

According to most researchers, Goji berry powder is ideal for enhancing our eye health and defending against future vision loss, including macular degeneration.

Pomegranate Powder

Borne from fruit-bearing shrubs, pomegranates were originally found throughout the Middle East, stretching from Iran to Northern India. As one of the true superfoods on the market, pomegranate powder can introduce anti-inflammatory effects, memory-enhancing polyphenols, and visible skin rejuvenation.

Culinary Matcha Powder

More than your favorite tea addition, matcha powder is a revered superfood powder that provides anti-inflammatory effects while preventing potential organ damage. One study in diabetic rats showed that matcha was helpful in preventing kidney and liver damage. It is also understood that matcha powder can provide a significant boost to our memory, thanks largely to L-theanine and caffeine. Some studies even show that matcha can help us lose weight by boosting our energy expenditure!

Creative Ways to Consume Superfood Powder

According to a report published by the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics, nearly 90% of Americansare falling short in their efforts to consume the recommended serving of vegetables per day.
