Top 10 sweet accessories for SuperSonic Food Powder Plus.
We all know that white sugar is not beneficial to health - it is a source of empty calories, does not bring any vitamins and minerals to the diet, and in excess contributes to the development of many diseases - for this reason we try to avoid it as much as possible. That is why we added substances that give a sweet taste to the SuperSonic Food Powder Plus, which in our opinion were the best choice: coconut sugar, xylitol and stevia, and what is more - their quantities are really trace. We chose these substances due to their beneficial properties: coconut sugar has a low glycemic index, xylitol has an anti -tin -axes, and stevia has no energy value, while giving a very sweet taste. The amount of simple sugars in Supersonic Food Powder Plus is very low, it is only 4% of the daily RWS and mostly occur naturally in raw materials, e.g. in oatmeal and linseed.
However, what if we feel like a sweeter version of Supersonic Food Powder Plus? Should we completely give up this? Fortunately, no, because there are a lot of raw materials in nature, which, in addition to ensuring sweet taste, also provide us with many valuable nutrients and bioactive substances, and which can be safely added to our product and prepare a delicious cocktail from it. Our top 10 sweet accessories for SuperSonic Food Powder Plus are:
Dates
Our absolute hit when it comes to sweet diet accessories. Both fresh and dried dates are an excellent source of fiber, potassium, copper and niacin, except that dried dates are even more focused in terms of the amount of all beneficial substances. Already 3 dried dates (about 15 g) will give your Shake Supersonic a naturally sweet taste, and will provide only 43 kcal and up to 1.3 g of fiber! Just pour hot water, leave them for 10 minutes, and then blend together with Supersonic Food Powder Plus and Voilà!
Xylitol
The appearance and sweet taste of sugar, but caloric content than it is 40%lower, low glycemic index, lack of influence on insulin levels, tooth decay, supporting enamel mineralization, prebiotic properties and supporting intestinal microflora ... Are these dreams? No, it's xylitol!
This so -called birch sugar has only advantages - not only that it is pleasantly sweet and low -calorie, it also brings all the above -mentioned health benefits, and what's more, it can be consumed by diabetics. A small amount is enough for your Supersonic to turn into a wonderful dessert, satisfying palates of even the most demanding gourmets. One spoon (about 15 g) provides only 35 kcal and zero simple sugars!
Carob
Naturally a sweet replacement for cocoa. It smells and looks like cocoa, but it tastes like a chocolate milky childhood drink, and it has less calories and is a source of fiber. Carob is a source of magnesium, potassium and calcium, it also contains a rare mineral, which is selenium, and a lot of antioxidants. One teaspoon of carob added to your Shake Supersonic is an addition of 13 kcal and as much as 2.3 g of fiber. In addition, carob, unlike cocoa, does not contain caffeine and theobromine, so it can be consumed by pregnant women and children.
Java Gula
Coconut sugar with a taste and color of roasted caramel will perfectly turn up the taste of your shake. It is an ideal alternative to white sugar, because it has a twice lower glycemic index and lower fructose content from it. One teaspoon of coconut sugar gives a sweet taste of roasted caramel and only 23 kcal.
Erythrol
Like xylitol, it has anti -caries and does not affect the level of insulin in the blood, but unlike it it provides exactly ... 0 calories because it is not metabolized by the body. It has a sweetness slightly smaller than white sugar, so it can be used in the same quantities. One teaspoon of erythritol added to Shake Supersonic will sweeten your day without any remorse and health consequences.
Bananas
Another fruit add -on, which will naturally strengthen the sweetness of SuperSonic Food. Bananas are a treasury of minerals, including potassium, calcium, magnesium, iodine and iron as well as vitamins such as vitamin A, C and B vitamins. In addition, they are a source of polyphenols, which are strong antioxidants and protect the body against stress caused by the presence of free radicals. Add half a mature banana (about 60 kcal) to the Supersonic cocktail, blend and enjoy the fruity, sweet taste.
Peanut butter
Not very obvious choice, right? But perfect! A tablespoon of peanut butter added to the cocktail will give it a perfectly creamy consistency and a delicious, nutty taste. It is also a very good source of an additional portion of protein, fiber and unsaturated fatty acids. It is worth remembering, however, that peanut butter is quite caloric - in 1 tablespoon it has about 120 kcal - so this should be taken into account when counting the caloric content of meals.
Maple syrup
Called Canadian liquid gold, a syrup with a sweet, characteristic taste, it is an ideal vegan alternative to honey. Despite the high content of simple sugars (and so 33% lower than in white sugar) it is a component that is worth introducing to the diet if you want to sweeten Shake Supersonic Food Powder Plus. In addition to the sweetness we desire, maple syrup also provides minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium and phosphorus as well as B vitamins, including folic acid and niacin. One tablespoon of maple syrup is only 30 kcal and perfect strengthening of sweets.
Stevia
Stevia is an almost perfect sweetener - it has no caloric value, does not cause glucose out of the blood and has antibacterial properties, thanks to which it prevents caries. It can be added to the cocktail in the form of crystals or pills (which is previously worth dissolved in water). Due to its intensely sweet taste, everyone should choose the amount they want to add to Shake.
Frozen fruit
If you love the delicate, fruit Shake flavors - try the SuperSonic Food Powder Plus with the addition of frozen fruit. You have a huge scope: every fruit will be good, a bit of creativity and a blender. Do you miss the forest fruit and the memory of a plot in the countryside? Choose frozen strawberries, cherries, berries or raspberries. You can't wait for your holidays in exotic countries? Bet on frozen mango, pineapple or banana. Mix them freely, each combination will bring different taste sensations. The fruits are low -calorie, they are a source of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, and also contain valuable fiber. Add as much as your heart desires - the more, the more intense the fruit taste and color will be.
