Sweet potatoes: may reduce risk of colds and flu; promote healthy skin, bone, blood cells, reduce stress, increase immune health, and help fight cancer, and although they taste sweet, they will not spike blood sugar.

Coconut oil: may aid brain health, increase good cholesterol for heart health, lubricate joints, and burns body fat.

Coconut sugar:  although it contains the same amount of calories as sugar it is low on the glycemic index so may slow absorption, contains more minerals and vitamins than regular sugar, but is still not what I would call a superfood. (I eat it sparingly)

Cinnamon:  may help lower blood sugar levels, fight heart disease, boost immunity, act as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.

Nutmeg: may soothe indigestion, alleviate pain, stimulate the brain, and act as an antioxidant.

English walnuts: may aid in heart and brain health, reduce risk of breast cancer, fight aging, and help with weight control.

Pecans:  may aid in heart, bone and skin health, fight breast cancer, and act as an anti-inflammatory
