Chia Seeds

Salvia hispanica is the plant to thank for chia seeds, one which is incredibly in the same family as mint! Don’t slaughter your Chia Pet just yet! Make sure your chia seeds are approved for consumption before adding one of the healthiest superfoods to a dish or making some pudding. On top of growing green hair in a terracotta bust, chia can help you grow your daily-suggested value of fiber and protein. Despite how tiny chia seeds are, they store more goodness than most foods.

Peanut Butter

Unsweetened, natural peanut butter is packed with protein, fat, and good nutrients. So it’ll fill you up for longer and help you keep your blood pressure in check, thanks to potassium. (It also means it’s got a high-calorie count, so calorie counters, be warned!) Other great things hidden in peanut butter’s creamy goodness are monounsaturated fats, fiber, and vitamins. Just make sure that when you buy peanut butter, that you look for ‘no added sugar or salt’ on the label.
