When I was a kid, my mom would always make blue Jello on a blue moon. Which means we literally only ate blue Jello once in a blue moon. And honestly, that’s probably as much as any person should ever eat Jello. But there are other (vegetarian- and vegan-friendly) blue foods to celebrate this somewhat-rare lunar event. Like blueberries, which are a true superfood. More

Young, smooth, flawless skin–we all want it, right? But the oil, the acne, the lines and wrinkles…ugh! What’s a girl supposed to do?

One of the foods that seems to be trending right now is the Asian citrus fruit called yuzu, aka Japanese grapefruit. You can find yuzu in cupcakes, martinis and chocolates—call it the new pomegranate or acai berry. So what is it, what do you do with it and does the yuzu live up to its superfood status? More
You might think maca is something that raw foods restaurants will mix into your smoothie to relieve you of the burden of a couple bucks. Well+Good explains why the sexy superfood is actually good for Valentine’s Day and more: More
A new preview of next week’s Bizarre Foods episode shows Andrew Zimmern chowing on fresh cow placenta and colostrum–the milk a cow gives just after giving birth–taking the whole afterbirth-as-superfood trend to a level I’ve never seem before. At least once a year, a “trend” piece is written about women preserving and eating their own placentas; it’s not really a “trend” at this point, but gruesome-looking photos of placentas getting prepped for consumption are pretty much an irresistible lifestyle piece. (The latest example from the Daily Mail comes complete with photos of a dehydrator full of placenta slices…I care you to not click.) But cow’s placenta is a take on the trend I’ve never seen before.

A recent study reminded us that when it comes to weight loss and health, it’s not as simple as calories in, calories out; what we eat is pretty important, too. We know to avoid fried potatoes and sugary sodas, but we should all be fueling up on nutrient-rich calories, not just the diet version of our favorite processed foods. That’s why for this week’s Meatless Monday, we found vegetarian recipes that are packed with superfoods to help you stay slim, young, and healthy without feeling calorie-deprived. More
Remember when pomegranate was all the rage? How about acai? Lychee berries? There was probably even a moment before my time when kiwis were the new messiah (and, heck, we all know the story of Adam, Eve and that irresistible apple …). Nutritionist Lauren Slayton takes issue with the hype surrounding these “superfruits,” the suddenly-hot specimens of nature’s bounty that seem to appear on the scene out of nowhere, starring in style-section articles, Facebook ads, and weight-loss scams before being pushed aside for the next miraculously healthy fruit du jour.

This dish is perfect for St. Paddy’s Day as it brings together beer, cabbage and an amazing green superfood called Chlorella. Chlorella is high in iron and very detoxifying for the body. Exactly what we all need after a night out. More
We don’t always believe in taking health and beauty advice from celebrities (especially when they’re shilling for questionable beauty treatments or acting as spokesperson for the unproven health benefits of milk), but when they’re telling us to eat our vegetables, it’s hard to deny their wisdom. With several beautiful celebrities, smart doctors, and qualified nutritionists telling us to drink our greens for lower cholesterol, anti-aging benefits, and better digestion, we’re starting to think they’re onto something. (Plus, we just read Kris Carr’s Crazy Sexy Diet, and she makes yet another convincing case for getting your superfoods and greens through a straw.) More
