I can't believe no one's said COCONUT! (and the coconut water) it's great for everything including its anti-cancer properties and you can use it for oil or externally.

for me the top superfoods I use a lot are
cacao
aloe
blue-green algae
blue agave
Noni juice
coconut

Heres my list (I know some of these are combinations of foods)

1.green juices,

2.green smoothies made with fruits and greens, stevia or honey as sweetener, no added fat because it slows digestion,

3.chia seeds, I don't know of anything that fills you up like chia seeds.

4.raw eggs, because they contain things that are hard to find in the vegan diet - b12, long chain omega fatty acids, vitamin d in the winter, and the amino acid profile of eggs is also just too ridiculous.

5.sprouts

6.raw honey, because of the enzymes

7.colostrum, only if you want to build up your body or thicken your tissues if you feel frail

8.celery, because its so alkalizing

But personally I think that live fruits and vegetables is the best it gets. IMO super food powders that you buy online or at the store are basically a waste of money, because they loose most of their enzymes and life force, it is still healthy, but I don't think it compares to things like green juices or green smoothies .

Yeah,

I would say that nothing reduces cravings better than eating a bunch of chia seeds. They are amazing because when you eat them they soak up all the water in your stomach and create a thick gel that makes you feel full and then it pushes all the stuff out of there, also very hydrating if you soak with water.

Blending them in smoothies is the best :)
