 Superfoods!  Superfoods! What makes them Super, and how can we implement them into our diets. From Coffee to Turmeric, these foods can have great benefit to our health and of course, our Trim Healthy journey.   Check out this Good Housekeeping article to read the benefits of superfoods.   There’s also a section on fermented foods. https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/health/diet-nutrition/a42159185/superfoods-list-2023/?fbclid=IwAR0hDXTHj3vVZEo5_GaNUYtIsnjvAVe8n62c89D2dDsiN3TGOjtT58FWv9I

  Sprouted Flour and Expensive Groceries We’ve talked about sprouted flour before, how the sprouting process lowers the glycemic index of the whole grain and helps to level your blood sugar. Now you can buy your sprouted flour on-line at Thrive Market (subscription), Vita-Cost, Azure Standard or Amazon.   But did you know that you can make your own sprouted flour? Recently I can across a post by Amber Smith on the main Trim Healthy Mama page describing the process and just how those savings can add up.   She compares the cost of purchasing sprouted flour vs. creating your own.   Wheat berries (kernels) are cheaper than the sprouted flour so if you are able to do your own, you can save money on your grocery budget.   Some specialized household tools are needed, but most you’ll already have: bowls, strainers, an oven or food dehydrator and something to mill the wheat, a grain mill or strong blender will do the trick.
