OATS
Oats are a superfood in their own right thanks to their positive action on cholesterol (beta-glucans), cardiovascular diseases, blood sugar levels, blood pressure, athletic performance, and intestinal well-being. Thanks to their high soluble fibre and protein content, they are particularly satisfying.
COCONUT
Coconut is rich in easy-to-digest healthy fatty acids (MCT) that can be burned up as fuel rather than stored as fat, giving you an instant energy boost (this makes it ideal for taking before workouts). lt is also a great source of fibre and has anti-microbial benefits.
HEMP SEEDS
Hemp seeds are of the best known sources of high-quality, plant-based protein. What’s more, it's considered a complete protein with all the essential amino acids and is easily digestible. In particular, hemp is rich in the amino acid arginine which plays a role lowering blood pressure and preventing heart disease. To top that, hemp offers a naturally perfect 1:3 ratio of Omega-3 and Omega-6 Essential Fatty Acids as well as plenty of dietary fibre.
FLAX SEEDS
Like chia, flaxseed is known for its high content of gut-friendly dietary fibre and heart healthy omega-3 fatty acids. It also contains huge amounts of lignans, a type of plant chemical that can help to balance hormone levels and may even prevent breast and prostate cancer.
