Your digestion will be benefiting from this recipe as soon as you start preparing it because your salivary glands will be active, knowing that it is going to taste amazing!
Of course, this happens with all food but not all food is as easily digested as Eat Burn Sleep’s recipes.
This delicious cake blends probiotic coconut yogurt, low glycemic index coconut sugar, protein and fiber-rich coconut flour, protein-rich almonds, superfood eggs and anti-inflammatory vanilla essence into a delightful cake.
Each and every ingredient is considered for its bioactive compounds. Even arrowroot (which is often overlooked as nothing but a starch) brings a powerhouse of B vitamins, phosphorous, potassium, magnesium, iron, calcium and zinc. It also has a natural demulcent effect on the body and eases digestion.
Not forgetting the nutritional importance of the wonderful zest from the almighty antioxidant-rich, anti-inflammatory lemon. Did you know that every part of the lemon have been used for years? Not only traditionally as a treatment for illnesses like sore throats and acne but also as raw material for many medicines. Lemon peel, for example, is used in remedies for adolescent obesity. Even the oil from the leaf is used for insomnia remedies.
There really isn’t enough room to talk about all of the benefits for each component of this recipe but one thing to know, is that it reduces inflammation and is totally worth making! Again and again.
