What You’ll Need
Blueberries
High i Vitamin K, C and Manganese blueberries are full of benefits for your whole body. Full of phenol, specifically gallic acid, they act as a neuro-protective agent and help to boost focus and memory. They also help to support digestion by helping to balance gut bacteria.
Oats
These guys help lower cholesterol because they have a type of soluble fiber called beta-glucans. This fiber also makes them filling too! Beta-glucans also help to boost the immune system by activating macrophages (the guys that fight fungus, bacteria, and toxins). I also love that they are low in glycemic index meaning they will prevent blood sugar spikes.
Slivered Almonds
Full of healthy fats almond butter will help keep you fuller, longer. Almonds also help to boost energy while helping regulate blood pressure and aid weight loss.
Cinnamon
It is great for fighting diabetes because it lowers blood sugar and improves the body’s response to insulin. Rich in antioxidants cinnamon also helps to fight inflammation due to the flavonoids in it.
Coconut oil
Because it is a medium chain triglyceride (MCT) it helps combat against fatigue and brain fog, increases metabolism and controls blood sugar levels. It’s also great for bone strength and promotes nutrient absorption in the digestive track!
Maple Syrup
This natural source of sugar has loads of antioxidants and has a lower glycemic than other sweeteners. Because it is rich in polyphenols it helps fight against inflammatory diseases like arthritis and IBD.
