New Chocolate Vegan Superfoods Explained!
Chocolate Vegan Shakeology® has 5 new superfoods in it for you to explore. Here's the lowdown on the new ingredients!
Moringa
There are over 46 antioxidants and 36 anti-inflammatory compounds all naturally occurring in the moringa plant. That's why it's referred to as the best natural source of antioxidants, and some even call moringa the most nutrient-rich plant on the planet!
Moringa has 7 times the vitamin C in oranges, 4 times the calcium in milk, 4 times the vitamin A in carrots, twice the protein in milk, 3 times the potassium in bananas, and 3 times the iron in spinach.
This plant works to help balance blood sugars, reduce cholesterol, and has incredible health-promoting and anti-aging properties.
Coconut Flower Nectar
Coconut flower nectar, a sweetening superfruit, is particularly interesting because it's the naturally sweet, nutrient-rich "sap" or nectar that comes from coconut blossoms. All of the components of a coconut have wonderful health benefits, but the nectar contains 17 amino acids, minerals, and vitamin C; has a broad spectrum of B vitamins; and is high in potassium, magnesium, zinc, and iron. It also has a high content of inulin, a prebiotic fiber, which feeds our intestinal flora and helps boost digestive and immune functions.
Along with all of coconut flower nectar's nutrition, it's also low on the glycemic index (GI), so it produces a slow energy release, helping to sustain your body through daily activities without "highs" and "lows."
Luo Han Guo
Pronounced "law hawn gwah," this fruit was discovered by Chinese monks in the 13th century. At first, they used this low-calorie, low-glycemic fruit as a sweetener for their tea. After all, it's 300 times sweeter than sugar! But, they soon discovered that it could have a positive impact on coughs and other respiratory ailments. And recent research has revealed that it may work as an antioxidant to help eliminate the free radicals that can cause serious health concerns.
Himalayan Salt
Raw, untouched, unprocessed salt contains more than 70 trace minerals that help detoxify the blood and maintain a stable pH balance in cells.
Konjac Fiber
This yam-like root has been used as a part of a healthy diet in India, China, Japan, and Korea for centuries, and for good reason: It's recently been found that konjac root may be able to promote healthy blood sugar and ideal cholesterol levels, plus help with regularity for optimal digestive health.
So if you've been having trouble with fighting off your not-so-healthy cravings, the fiber in this wonder food can help you out. It has the ability to absorb up to 200 times its weight in water, making you feel fuller for longer.
