Fats have taken quite a hit over the years. Contrary to popular belief, however, they're not all bad for us. In fact, our bodies require certain types of fats to function properly. These healthy fats can be found in foods like avocados, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish like salmon.
Many essential vitamins (such as A, D, E, and K) are fat-soluble, meaning they rely on fat being present to absorb as much as possible in the body. Incorporating these healthy fats into our diets can have numerous benefits, including improved heart health, decreased inflammation, and better brain function. If you're looking for a well-rounded blend with fats in mind, shop our Meal Replacement Formulas or study up on the benefits below.
AVOCADO OIL POWDER
There's a reason why Californians are obsessed—avocados are an impressive fruit, providing ample amounts of carbohydrates, fats, and fiber. Our Avocado Oil Powder is concentrated to 70% avocado oil by volume, offering up 17g of fat, 16g of carbohydrates, and a whopping 16g of dietary fiber per serving.
MCT OIL POWDER
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are beneficial for many things: energy production, and feelings of satiety. Those following a ketogenic diet know them as a fast track to making ketones, an energy source for your brain that doesn't come from carbs. Because MCTs are absorbed and digested by the body faster than long-chain fatty acids, research has shown they may help reduce body weight and the buildup of fat—along with a healthy diet and lifestyle, of course.
VIRGIN OLIVE OIL POWDER
Olive Oil contains long-chain fatty acids, which as the name suggests, take a little bit longer to break down and absorb. Studies have shown that increasing consumption in your diet has been linked to reduced triglyceride levels, vital for improving heart health. Virgin Olive Oil is a great source and can easily blend into a shake or smoothie with a mild flavor.
COCONUT MILK POWDER
Coconut milk is naturally rich in MCTs and is a wonderful dairy-free alternative. It offers a creamy consistency and a delicate coconut flavor. Find Coconut Milk as an ingredient in our Custom Smoothie Generator.
