Coconut Milk: High in calories and saturated fats called medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that help to reduce appetite, increase metabolism, and aid in belly fat loss.
Hemp Seeds: Brain Food! Hemp Seeds are one of the best plant-based sources of protein, they contain antioxidants, and omega fats to support brain health. They also have the optimal ratio of Omega 6’s to Omega 3’s — 2:1.
Avocados: Best fruit on the planet – LOADED with healthy fats and fiber! One whole avocado has double the amount of potassium as a single banana.
Monk Fruit Sweetener: This is an extract derived from dried monk fruit that is up to 250 times sweeter than table sugar, has zero calories and carbs, and does not raise blood glucose levels.
Strawberries: Packed with vitamins, fiber, and high levels of antioxidants known as polyphenols, they are among the top 20 fruits in antioxidant capacity and are a reliable source of manganese and potassium. About 8 strawberries provide more vitamin C than an orange.
