Here at Blendtec, we enjoy following many blogs and getting inspiration from them; in fact, this very post was inspired by one.

Unconventional Kitchen is an informative blog about eating real food and how food is a great medicine for your body. In May, Unconventional Kitchen's author, Desi, wrote a blog post about 10 Super Awesome Super Foods. I wanted to share this post with our readers and give you tips on how to incorporate many of these super foods into some of your own Blendtec blender recipes (some may not be made in a blender).
