Quinoa
This teeny-tiny, grain-like seed packs some serious nutritional prowess. With a mild, nutty flavor and a texture similar to rice or couscous, quinoa is one of the only grains or seeds that provides all nine essential amino acids our bodies can’t produce themselves . And it’s filled with protein— eight grams per one-cup serving, to be exact!

What came first: the chicken or the egg? Well it doesn’t matter because the important thing is chickens lay eggs and this delicate food is packed full of protein you need before and after working out! They are also low in carbs and calories and are perfect if you’re trying to shed some extra pounds. With 6 grams of protein in each egg, feel free to eat as many of these as you want. They are also delicious in a number of ways: fried, scrambled, over easy, and my personal favorite: hard boiled. Stock up on this superfood today and watch your body transform right before your eyes.

This ages-old health secret has been used as a natural remedy for everything from cancer to heart disease ! The secret to this delicious drink? Antioxidants! The main superhero here isEpigallocatechin gallate, or EGCG, a phytochemical that slows irregular cell growth, which could potentially help prevent the growth of some cancers.
So the next time you’re at the store, pick up this tea and watch it work it’s magic!

Tomatoes
This powerful fruit packs a PUNCH! They contain lycopene, an antioxidant rarely found in other foods. Studies suggest that it could protect the skin against harmful UV rays, prevent certain cancers, and lower cholesterol. Plus, tomatoes contain high amounts of potassium, fiber, and vitamin C. Not to mention they taste great on any sandwich or in any pasta dish!
So next time you go to the grocery store, be sure to pick up this delicious fruit to add a superfood to any meal!

Not all snacking was created equally. A bag of chips after a workout probably isn’t a good idea say like snacking on peanut butter and apples after a workout. Protein and carbohydrates are essential after a workout to replenish your body and build those muscles. Here are some high powered protein snacks to enjoy after a workout or just in general. The great thing about these snacks is that they will also keep you full and satisfied until your next meal.
Tuna Salad on Crackers
Fruit Dip and Apples
Hard Boiled Eggs and Avocado
Hummus Dip and Vegetables
Peanut Butter and Banana Smoothie
Before you go for that bag of chips, try one of these snacks instead. I guarantee it’ll keep you feeling full and feeling great!
