Ingredients Highlights
Coconut sugar has the consistency of sugar but has a much lower glycemic index.
Egg yolks are rich in nutrients including iron and vitamins A, D, E, and K, but it’s the white that provides the most protein. An average-sized egg contains around 6-7 grams of protein with around 4 grams coming from the egg white.
Nut milk is a form of non-dairy milk made from nuts soaked in water and blended into a creamy beverage. Some popular nut milks on the market include almond, macadamia, cashew, walnut, pistachio, and hazelnut. Other non-dairy milk you can use in your recipes include soy milk, lite coconut milk, and oat milk.
Pure olive oil is high in nutrients including vitamins D, E, K, and A, as well as omega-3 fatty acids. For the highest quality, look for organic extra virgin olive oil in dark glass bottles or tins that have an expiry date.
Strawberries contain ellagic acid and a large number of polyphenols that help the body of carcinogenic substances and inhibit the growth of cancer.
