Your Superfood weekend shopping list

I'm looking forward to doing my weekly shop this weekend (though I don't like the mad Sunday 4pm rush!!!). Grocery shopping requires good planning to ensure you have some great ingredients in your kitchen which you can turn to in order to make healthy and nutritious food.  When I shop, I pretty much only stick to the outer perimeter of the supermarket - that's where the least processed food is placed. And I always pick up as many 'super foods' as possible. You may have heard of 'super foods' - they are foods which have properties which can protect us from cancer, heart disease, lower cholesterol, improves digestion and lots of other great things. 
This weekend when you do your shop, make sure you pop a few superfoods in to your trolley and if you don't know what to do with all, you'll find lots of recipe ideas on my blog!
