And here’s a healthy fact: Food Thoughts organic cocoa and cacao powders contain a whopping 30mg of iron and 31g of fibre per 100g, making them an excellent source of these vital nutrients. Iron is essential for maintaining energy levels and supporting red blood cell production. Studies have shown that fibre can lower your risk of diabetes, stroke, heart disease, and certain cancers. Cocoa and cacao are also rich in magnesium, a key mineral for muscle function and recovery, perfect for after a workout. And thanks to its powerful antioxidants, they help combat inflammation and support overall health.
Yogurt and milk aren’t just there for their creamy texture. They deliver a healthy dose of calcium and protein, important for strong bones and muscle repair. Yogurt’s probiotics also support gut health, ensuring your digestion stays on point. The pear adds a lovely caramel-like sweetness and a burst of fibre, which helps with digestion and keeps blood sugar levels steady.
