Amy Lacey, well-known for her breakthrough cauliflower pizza crust and the success of her business CaliFlour Foods, has ventured into a new chapter with Beyond Medicine (BeMe) and Soursop Nutrition. After extensive research, Amy now focuses on integrating the benefits of soursop—a superfruit with impressive nutritional properties—into American diets. Drawing on her expertise, she shares essential tips for incorporating superfoods into your daily routine.

  • Start Small and Stay Consistent 

Gradually introducing superfoods into your diet, such as adding berries to breakfast or chia seeds to your salad, can make dietary changes manageable and sustainable. Research supports that small, consistent changes lead to significant health benefits over time. For instance, incorporating berries can boost antioxidant intake, which helps combat oxidative stress and supports overall well-being according to Journal of Medicinal Food.

  • Make Superfoods Part of Your Daily Routine 

Breakfast is an ideal time to start your day with nutrient-dense superfoods. Adding soursop, chia seeds, or flaxseeds to smoothies or oatmeal provides a boost of energy and essential nutrients. The Journal of Medicinal Food notes that soursop’s antioxidants and vitamin C contribute to overall health and well-being. Additionally, including superfoods like goji berries in your snacks can provide continuous nutrient support throughout the day, with research from the Journal of Functional foods shows their high antioxidant content helps support immune function.

  • Use Superfoods as Toppings and Add-Ins

Enhance the nutritional value of your meals by using superfoods as toppings or mix-ins. Sprinkle hemp seeds over salads, add chia seeds to cereal, or use pomegranate arils to garnish soups. These additions not only improve flavor and texture but also deliver concentrated doses of essential nutrients. Studies, such as those published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, highlight how antioxidants in soursop and other superfoods can support health when integrated into daily meals.

  • Opt for Superfood Supplements

For those who find it challenging to incorporate fresh superfoods regularly, high-quality supplements can be a convenient alternative. Soursop Nutrition’s daily gummies offer an easy way to enjoy the benefits of superfoods without extensive meal preparation. Research supports the efficacy of supplements in delivering essential nutrients, particularly when fresh options are less accessible. Supplements provide a practical solution for busy individuals looking to maintain nutritional balance.

  • Balance and Experiment with Recipes 

Achieving a balanced diet involves combining superfoods with a variety of foods from all food groups. Experiment with incorporating superfoods into recipes you already enjoy, such as blending spinach into pasta sauces or using avocado in dressings. Research in the Journal of Medicinal Food emphasizes the benefits of incorporating diverse nutrient sources into familiar recipes to make healthy eating both enjoyable and sustainable.
