Ashwagandha is the latest trend in the wellness
world and it most definitely worth the hype. One
of the most powerful adaptogens on the planet,
this ancient herb has been used for Ayurvedic
healing for centuries and has suddenly taken over
the world by storm.
Native to India, Ashwagandha root is a miracle
herb that has more health benefits than probably
any superfood youve ever known. It helps protect
the body against the effects of toxic stress (is
dubbed as the stress-fighting superfood), has the
ability to regulate hormones, reduces
inflammation, helps fight fatigue, improves
focus, helps you get rid of insomnia and anxiety
and is even known to prevent and help with
cancer. Did we mention it is also known as a
libido-boosting herb? Get yourself a good organic
ashwagandha powder right away. Add it to your
morning smoothie for a nutritious charge like
Emma Stone and Gwyneth Paltrow, or in an
afternoon cup of tea for a quick pick-me-up.

Move over green tea, theres a new superstar leaf
in town. 2018 is the year of moringa leaf this
nutritious plant has officially taken over kale,
matcha and green tea as not only is it packed
with nutrition including all nine essential amino
acids, iron, calcium and powerful antioxidants,
but it has no harmful effects. What we love most
about moringa is that despite being caffeine
free, it is a great energy booster! Sprinkle
moringa to your smoothies, salads and replace it
with green tea (has a nutty and grassy flavor).
You will find moringa everywhere in 2018, right
from nutrition bars and protein powders to juices
and kombucha.

• 2017 was the year of golden mylk, or turmeric
  latte, with a cult following and fans like
  Gwyneth Paltrow and this turmeric superfood trend
  is here to stay. Theres hardly any wellness cafe
  where you wont find this delicious drink packed
  with nutrition and health. Native to India, this
  ancient superfood is widely used for its myriad
  health benefits and as a beauty elixir. Turmeric
  and milk is a staple natural medicine for common
  cold, fever, and infections and Indian women use
  turmeric in their home-made face masks to lighten
  their skin.
• Known for its many benefits, anti-inflammatory
  and medicinal properties (fights cold and
  infections, relieves muscle pain, delays
  diabetes, protects from effects of Alzheimers
  and fights against cancer), this superfood is a
  definite must-have in your everyday diet. The
  best part? Its vivid yellow color doesnt require
  any Instagram filter!
• Make sure to consume turmeric in combination with
  black pepper, which helps the body absorb
  curcumin. Cold pressed turmeric juice added to
  coconut milk and combined with ginger and black
  pepper is the most common recipe that can be
  easily found in any health café. You can even
  make it yourself at home.

  world. This yellow colored small fruit is packed

These marine plants are nutrient dense packed
with Vitamin C, rich in sea minerals (especially
iodine), high in fiber and drip in calcium. They
also boast anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial
properties. This green stuff is not only great
for skin but is excellent for overall health and
aides in digestion. It tastes great and adds rich
flavor to dishes.
2017 saw chefs from all over the world using
seaweed in their exotic preparations and even the
food manufacturers are using it as a healthy
option to replacing salt. This ocean harvested
green has been a staple of the Eastern cuisine
for centuries, but has now become a beloved of
the whole world. Sprinkle it to your smoothies or

small-flaked dulse, nori and sea greens mixed
with sea salt.

Ditch the idea that protein has to come from
animals as plant protein has taken over the
world. Pea, lentil, mung beans and hemp proteins
are popping up everywhere. Even the United
Nations declared 2016 as the International Year
of Pulses. Issues like health, sustainability and
animal welfare caused the shift and the only way
to get your protein in 2018 and beyond is through
plants!

First there was smoothie bowl frenzy and now it
is food bowls from lunch to dinner thats an
Instagram darling. We first discovered food bowls
for main meals when we visited the vegan
restaurant The Bowl in Berlin where everything
from your drinks to entrees to desserts and even
coffee is served in a bowl. We were amazed with
the concept. This creative one-dish meal is less
fussy to eat and offers you so many options to
pick from like quinoa bowl, smoothie bowls,
Buddha bowl, protein bowls, salad bowls and acai
bowl. You can have them hot or cold and combine
all sorts of vegetables in it and pair with whole
grains like brown rice, chickpeas or even
couscous and quinoa topped with sliced avocados,
nuts, and seed mix.
There are many benefits to this trend. Eating
from a bowl is a good way to monitor your portion
sizes that can also help you keep your weight in
check. The concept of food bowl is to inculcate
the habit of healthy eating by making the healthy
food look tempting with beautiful presentation.
How can you resist the temptation of eating those
colorful smoothie bowls with creative toppings?
If you were served the same thing in a simple
glass you would probably give it a miss. Youll
also feel full a lot faster and be able to savor
the burst of flavors in every bite.
If you havent already, its time to start with
smoothie bowls as your staple breakfast in 2017.
Your Instagram feed will be flooded with
inspirations in case you dont know how to make
one.
