Sea buckthorns These little berries hide behind thorns but if you can get to them they are packed with nutrients including essential vitamins and omega’s 3,6,7 and 9.	Beets Beautiful beets! Beets are naturally sweet and are high in potassium which helps to control blood pressure and allows nerves and muscles to work together.	Chia Seeds Chia seeds are one of our dietitians favourite foods! Chia might be new to you but it is a crop that was cultivated for centuries by the Aztec tribes in Mexico. These little seeds are packed full of nutrients. They contain all eight essential amino acids, protein, fibre, omega-3 and other micronutrients.
Cherries Cherries are one of our favourite sweet and rich flavours of summer. These dark cherries contain an antioxidant called anthocyanins that give the fruit its deep red colour. Dietitian advice: eat a diet rich in a variety of colourful foods!	Celery Celery is crisp and crunchy, it contains antioxidants as well as fibre which can help you feel full for longer. Meeting your fibre requirements can also help enhance your digestive health.	Pineapple Pineapple provides a vibrant fresh flavour that tastes like a tropical island. Pineapple contains manganese which supports energy metabolism. It also contains bromelain which is a protein digesting enzyme that can help build a healthy immune system.
Kiwi Kiwi fruits are packed with nutrients including vitamin C. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that can help to prevent cell damage. It increases your body’s absorption of iron from plant based nutrients (for example the iron found in spinach).	Carrots The orange colour in carrots is caused by the presence of Beta-carotene. Beta-carotene converts into retinol, retinol then protects the membranes surrounding your eyes that absorb light.	Raspberries A sweet summer treat, these red raspberries were always a summertime favourite. The raspberry seeds provide insoluble fibre, which is important for keeping the digestive tract healthy. Fibre can help lower blood cholesterol levels which protects your heart from cardiovascular disease. Raspberries are also a source of an antioxidant called vitamin C.
Spinach This green leafy vegetable packs our pops full of nutrients! Spinach is rich in so many micronutrients including vitamin C, beta carotene, folate, iron, vitamin B6, vitamin E, magnesium and potassium.	Bananas Did you know that bananas actually grow from a herb and not a tree!? They contain an important nutrient; potassium.
