Superfood Love
July 11, 2008 6:16 pm Super HealthI watched a video webcast last night by the #1 expert on superfoods and super health in the world, David Wolfe.
This guy has such an incredible amount of energy and enthusiasm, he makes you want to change your diet completely and just eat whatever he eats!
Of course, if you’re like the average person, you’ve probably never even heard of half the stuff he eats.
So where do you start if you want to upgrade your diet? Here’s how I started getting into superfoods:
Chocolate Smoothies
Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Well raw, unprocessed cacao (chocolate) actually has the highest amount of antioxidants of any food known to man. I also found out last night that it’s the #1 wei-
ght loss food in the world.
And to top it off, chocolate contains PEA, the chemical of Love!
Where can you get raw chocolate?
You can buy it at most health food stores or online. Look for raw cacao powder or raw cacao nibs. The best stuff I’ve found is actually sold by David Wolfe at Sunfood.com.
What else can you put in your chocolate smoothies?
Here’s what David Wolfe puts in his:
Raw cacao beans (or cacao nibs)
Fruit
Spirulina
Maca
Goji berries
Raw cacao butter
Sun is Shining (a greens mix from Sunfood.com)
Honey
Water
The best thing about chocolate smoothies is that you can eat them at any time of day (I had one for dinner last night). Oh, and in case you’re wondering, they are delicious. 
Love and Super Health,
Justin
P.S. - Email me for my own chocolate superfood smoothie recipe.

I would love your chocolate smoothie receipe!!! can you email it to me?! I made a smoothie last week with spirulina and it came out …well kind a funky. I would love a receipe with it that is good. I am going to the farmers market tomorrow and also a health food store for weekly items and i will look for your cocoa!!OH also, what type or brand of spirulina do you use? I use spirulina pacifica from bioastinman…is that a good brand? i have heard that depending on where it comes from it tastes different, is that true? I think the one that i use is harvested in hawaii. thanks
