Independence Day is upon us, and our favorite thing about it is the delicious picnic-style foods! If you are on Dr. Hotze’s Optimal Eating Program (also known as a Candida-free or yeast-free eating program), then you may be wondering what you’ll be able to enjoy. We recommend bringing your own special dish to the party, like our Red White & Blue Superfood Fruit Salad for an extra special healthy treat. It tastes great, it’s full of nutrition, and better yet – you CAN can have it on yeast-free eating program (as long as you are past the first month of the eating program).

Fruit salad is pretty common, but this fruit salad has 4 superfoods that we know you’ll love.

Chia was originally used by the Mayan and Aztec warriors for super strength. Each seed contains calcium, magnesium, iron, fiber and protein.

Blueberries are considered a superfood due to a  very high antioxidant content. These antioxidants help lower inflammation.

Coconut is another superfood that has antimicrobial properties, so it helps lower Candida, or yeast.

Cinnamon is an adaptogenic spice that helps regulate blood sugar.

All these superfoods will leave you with superpowers for the games the kids want to play!
