Tiny Foods That Pack Lots Of Nutrition

Lots of nutrition is lost when you don’t take care of your diet. Before you go running, it doesn’t require a massive lifestyle change to eat healthier and you don’t need to be an Iron Chef! From handfuls of berries to munching on seeds, here are some of the most powerful tiny foods.

Tasty Oats and Grains 

There are tons of quick and easy ways to get the nutrients and minerals you need for a healthier and more energetic lifestyle. What’s more, they are almost all pretty convenient. You don’t need to spend hours in the kitchen to get nutrient-dense and tasty foods that make you feel great. Like all modern conveniences, superfood snacks such as porridge, granola, and cookie butter offer wholesome and delicious ways to get your daily dose of protein, fiber, and minerals.

Go Nuts for Nuts!

Nuts are well-known for being among the tastiest natural foods, as well as convenient. You can use them in all kinds of recipes or as a snack. Just a small bag of nuts is enough to power your mornings with the energy you need from good fats. However, nuts such as almonds and walnuts are a force to be reckoned with when combined with other healthy foods, such as bananas with whole grain cereal for breakfast, where you can get all you need for the day in a single bowl!

Lots of Nutrition in Tasty Berries

Around 80% of people eat breakfast each morning, and there are countless recipes. However, superfoods such as berries are popular, and while you can energize your day with smoothie recipes, just a handful of some of the tastiest berries is enough to supercharge your morning:

  • Strawberries are bursting with vitamin C, but unlike oranges, are great for your teeth!
  • Blueberries are rich in antioxidants and are known to help improve your memory.
  • Yes, grapes are a berry! Grapes are excellent for overall health and your immunity.

Various Types of Seeds

Okay, so maybe you don’t want to look like a bird! However, birds might know something we don’t as they munch on seeds all day. Seeds, although minuscule, are packed with healthy goodness. Chia seeds contain tons of omega-3, fiber, and protein. Hemp seeds are an excellent source of magnesium and iron. Of course, flax seeds are popular as they are bursting with omega-3 and many other vital vitamins and minerals the human body needs for optimal health.

Other Small Superfoods

There are, of course, other superfoods that you can grab a handful of and go! Olives aren’t only for decorating a martini glass! Olives are full of healthy fats and antioxidants, making them a perfect pairing with Mediterranean recipes for a massive health boost. Cherry tomatoes are also amazing. They taste just as good as berries and are full of multiple vitamins and antioxidants. Of course, we need to mention quinoa, which has so much that it’s like eating a complete meal!

Summary

Oats and grain snacks such as porridge and granola are among the tastiest and most convenient superfoods that pack lots of nutrition. Berries are also stunningly healthy while being super tasty, and other small foods such as quinoa and cherry tomatoes also pack a punch.
