‘Superfood’ has become such a buzz word in the media at the moment that you’re probably sick of hearing it. Truth is though, superfoods are talked about constantly for a reason – they really are good for us.
For lent for cyclists, we wouldn’t recommend you to cut carbs, or give up meat for Lent, but taking up superfoods is definitely a good idea.
Kale is the most commonly talked about superfood. A leafy, green vegetable rich in vitamins A and C, kale can be bought in most supermarkets, grocer’s and at farmer’s markets and is delicious both as a side dish or as the main ingredient in a healthy, nutritious warm salad.
The superfood that is really in vogue this year though is bone broth. Despite it’s unappealing name, it tastes delicious and is likely to have been something you’ve eaten unknowingly several times already at the base of hearty stews or tasty homemade soups.
Other superfoods to add into your new, healthy Lent diet are different types of grains, cauliflower, dandelion greens and coconut flour.
The best thing about taking up superfoods for Lent is that you don’t have to give anything up at all, you just get to add so many new and tasty foods to your weekly repertoire.
