Superfood Spotlight: Lemons & Limes
06.10.2015
Lemons & limes are arguably two of the most versatile, and accessible, superfoods!
Let’s take a look at some of their superpowers:
+ High in vitamin C (lemon > lime)
+ Good source of pectin fiber
+ Good source of folate (a B vitamin, also known as “folic acid”)
+ Reduce hunger cravings (hello, fiber!)
+ Help detoxify your body
+ Help soothe a sore throat (lemon)
Plus… They compliment and bring out the flavors in our favorite eats + sips—yum!
So, here are a few ways I enjoy these superfoods:
I add them to…
+ Water (hot or cold)
+ Tea
+ Fresh juice (OBSESSED with The Plant Cafe‘s “Healthy Sunrise” & “Immune Builder” juices!)
+ Homemade lemonade
+ Soup
+ Fish
+ Ceviche
+ Salsa
+ Guacamole
+ Salad
+ Quinoa
Pretty much anything, and everything?—they’re super versatile!
How do you enjoy lemons & limes? If you’re thinking with a shot of tequila… Ah, you’re my kind of girl/guy! ; )
