Benefits of Açaí 

Açaí berries are a powerhouse! Açaí has a composition of 19 amino acids, essential fatty acids, minerals, and various nutrients. Furthermore, it is abundant in anthocyanins, pigments renowned for their antioxidant properties, which aid in combating bodily stress by neutralizing free radicals. 

Açaí is also a great source of essential fatty acids (omegas 3,6 and 9). In addition to its nutritional benefits, the Unsweetened Pack contains 0 grams of sugar, making it the perfect base for any snack. 

Supporting Women’s Health 

Maca 

Maca root is a type of cruciferous vegetable native to the Andes mountains of Peru. It has been used as food and medicine for its nutritional benefits for thousands of years. Experts have suggested that Maca has plant sterols, that could help to maintain hormonal balance relating to fertility, better energy levels, and responses to physical, mental, and emotional stress.

Hemp Seeds 

Hemp Seeds or Hemp Hearts are a nutritious source of plant-based complete protein that supports digestion and are rich in two essential fatty acids, omega 3 and omega 6. They have a nutty flavor and add important healthy fats to your diet. 

Peanut Butter 

Peanut butter has monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids! It can help keep you full for longer and also contains a good amount of vitamin E. For optimal health benefits, opt for a natural product devoid of added preservatives or sugars, or consider crafting your own peanut butter from scratch at home.
