Your best bet for health? Salmon with the skin on, according to Amanda Sauceda, MS, registered dietitian and gut health nutritionist.
Salmon isn't the only fish that experts consider to be one of the healthiest superfoods. Michelle Routhenstein, MS, a preventive cardiology dietitian at EntirelyNourished, also recommends that people eat around two servings of sardines every week.
Not a fan of fish? That's OK. Sauceda says chicken with the skin is a good alternative to fish when it comes to collagen-based superfoods.
Next to fish and chicken, eggs are also a good protein pick—and one of the "few foods considered a complete high-quality protein source," according to Brynna Connor, MD, general practitioner and healthcare ambassador at NorthWestPharmacy.
Avocados are a "great source of healthy fat," Daryl Gioffre, DC, functional nutritionist, gut health expert, and author of Get Off Your Sugar, tells Best Life. This superfood is high in monounsaturated fat, "which easily creates energy for the body to burn," he explains.
Another green you should be adding to your plate is broccoli sprouts, which "contain 10 to 100 times more of sulforaphane than mature broccoli," according to Gioffre.
Beets can help your blood, too. This superfood "contains high levels of nitrates, which are important for keeping blood vessels dilated and improving blood flow," Connor explains.

Don't shy away from adding a lot of spinach to your smoothies or salads as well. Erik Natkin, DO, a physician specializing in holistic wellness and nutrition,
If you're looking for the best fruit-based superfood, look no further than the blueberry. This delicious berry is favored by many health experts, including Routhenstein and Natkin.
