We all love it as our guilty little pleasure so we definitely have to mention chocolates when it comes superfoods. Chocolate can elevate your energy levels by way of certain bioactive compounds such as tyramine and phenylethylamine, says a study in the Journal of Food Science. Chocolate has also been claimed to improve anemia, awaken the appetite, aid in digestion, improve longevity, and increase sexual appetite. Chocolate does contain sugar and caffeine along with fat and calories, so consume in moderation and, when possible, opt for dark chocolate, which has the fewest calories and the most antioxidants. 1 snack-sized chocolate bar contains: 70 calories, 9g carbs, 1g protein, 3g fat.
