BALLS WITH BENEFITS

​​

Nuts and seeds - good sources of plant-based protein and fibre, these help slow down how quickly the bliss ball is broken down in your body, promoting steady energy and contributing to less spikes in blood glucose levels.  

​

Coconut oils - helps to slow down glucose release. This helps provide more sustained energy levels, less cravings and can support more stable hormones.

​

Dried fruits - increase the fibre content, supporting a healthy digestion and microbiome - keeping our friendly bacteria in our guts happy. Fruits also provide essential vitamins and polyphenols - plant-based compounds with a wide range of health benefits relating to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties – particularly effective at supporting heart and brain health. 

​

Cacoa powder and nibs - full of flavanoids, which further contributes to reducing inflammation. Cacao is also rich in magnesium, calcium and iron - all vital to numerous functions in our bodies. The dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher), provides further antioxidants, heart healthy oleic acid and a prebiotic fibre to nourish healthy gut bacteria and support digestion. 

​

Spices - such as cardamon, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and ginger not only enhance flavour but can also support healthy digestion, increasing antioxidants that can lower inflammation and acting as natural antimicrobials which can support our immune systems.
