You don’t have to look far to see advertisements for a host of superfoods and their amazing health benefits, but not everyone has the time to go and source these foods; let alone incorporate them into our daily diet in imaginative and delicious recipes.
So say hello to superfood powders! Simple to add but with just as many benefits, we’ve rounded up the best powders to make you feel amazing this spring.
1. Acai
Originating from Brazil, the Acai berry is a purple native fruit found in the depths of the Amazon rainforest and studies suggest this superfood is even richer in antioxidants than cranberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, and blueberries. Try Perricone MD Super Berry With Acai supplements for a berry boost. The antioxidants found in the Acai berry, anthocyanins, are excellent for heart health whilst amino acids promote muscle performance, energy production, endurance, and strength, making it perfect before a workout.
2. Moringa

Derived from one of the most nutrient-dense plants on the planet, the leaves from the Moringa ‘Miracle’ Tree works as an effective natural multi-vitamin with 13 essential vitamins and minerals packed into a spoonful. Pick up the very cult Organic Moringa Leaf Powder by Kiki Health if you’re interested in trying out the miracle tree.
