Our friends at Goofy Foot Foods have created another easy, fresh recipe to enjoy while soaking up the last of these warm summer nights. What better way to put a delicious spin on a pesto dish than to add nutrient rich pistachios and walnuts bursting with antioxidants, vitamins A and E, lutein and beta-carotene! This easy, 1-step recipe is too good to pass up, so lay it down on some whole wheat pasta or fresh veggies and call it a day.
We’re a big fan of superfoods here at B4BC, and sweet potatoes not only fit the bill quite nicely, but they can be substituted in just about every recipe that calls for regular potatoes.

Kale Chips are the perfect crunchy treat that’s low in calories, fat and sodium and has high levels of vitamins and minerals – and when starting with a superfood like kale, you pretty much can’t go wrong. We found an easy and delicious Ginger Coconut Kale Chips recipe from Curious Cavemanda, who focuses on seasonal, paleo-based recipes and came up with this crazy good salty-sweet combo.
Hummus is great for a quick healthy snack with veggies before a hard workout or as a full meal with pita bread. Hummus is a great source of protein, vitamins, amino acids, minerals and fibers. Also, it’s best to make it yourself because store-bought hummus can be full of unhealthy preservatives.
Hummus is a healthy choice because it contains tons of omega-3 fatty acids which is great for keeping a healthy heart. Also, chickpeas don’t contain any cholesterol or saturated fats, and garlic and lemon are filled with antioxidants that help fight cancer and strengthen immune functions.
