Recipes
These recipes follow a MIND / Mediterranean-style pattern — leafy greens, berries, nuts, beans, whole grains, fish, and olive oil, with low added sugar. Simple to make, and each one highlights the brain-healthy ingredients inside.
Salmon, sardines, mackerel
Fatty fish provide omega-3 fats commonly associated with brain and heart health.
Leafy greens
Spinach, kale, and broccoli provide vitamin K, lutein, and folate — linked with slower cognitive decline.
Berries
The MIND diet emphasizes berries over other fruits for brain-health-oriented eating.
Walnuts, almonds, seeds
Nuts provide healthy fats, vitamin E, and minerals as part of the MIND diet.
Beans and lentils
Beans add fiber, plant protein, and slow-digesting carbohydrates to stabilize meals.
Olive oil
The MIND diet uses olive oil as its primary fat source.
Whole grains
Oats, quinoa, and whole-grain bread support steady energy.
