Why is this vegan dessert a great weight loss treat?
First of all…
Ashwagandha. Well, not just any ashwagandha will do. We use a specific premium full-spectrum extract in Golden Goddess Elixirs. It’s called KSM-66. Our extract has been clinically tested, and shows these benefits for weight management (published in the Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary & Alternative Medicine):
- Reduces the stress hormone cortisol, which also serves to help keep blood sugar in balance
- Reduces food cravings
- Reduces uncontrolled eating and emotional eating
Plus:
Avocado: The January 2013 issue of Nutrition Journal reported amazing avocado benefits for weight loss! Their research shows that people who eat avocados enjoy these benefits over those who don’t eat them:
- Better diet quality and nutrient intake,
- Lower body weight
- Lower BMI (body mass index)
- Lower BMI (body mass index)
- Lower BMI (body mass index)
- Lower intake of added sugars
- Higher levels of HDL (good cholesterol)
- Lower risk of metabolic syndrome, than
Healthy fats provided by the avocado, almond butter and Elixir mixes keep you satiated, give you energy and prevent out-of-control cravings.
Healthy fiber from the avocado and almond butter help fill you up and keep you satiated.
Spices help keep your blood sugar and systemic inflammation in check.
Small amounts of low-glycemic coconut sugar and stevia: most sweet treats contain loads of sugar, but not these! We balance 4 grams of coconut sugar with a smidgen of stevia in each serving to provide delectable sweetness without the blood sugar spike.
Ashwagandha and eleuthero: the combination of these adaptogenic herbs in Elixir mixes help balance cortisol and give you deep energy, unlike the stimulate boost of caffeine that leaves you crashing.
Enjoy this tasty raw treat as a dessert or snack.
Awesome! And so good for you 🙂
