Protein Brownies Key Ingredients & SuperAging Benefits

  • Almond Flour: A nutrient-dense, low-carb alternative to regular flour, almond flour is rich in vitamin E, magnesium, and healthy fats, making it great for blood sugar management and heart health
  • Chocolate Protein Powder: Adds a boost of protein, helping with muscle repair, satiety, and overall energy. Look for one without added sugars to keep these brownies wholesome.
  • Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Loaded with antioxidants, cocoa powder is known for its heart health benefits and potential to boost mood
  • Maple Syrup: A natural sweetener that’s lower on the glycemic index than sugar and provides minerals like manganese and zinc.
  • Applesauce: Used as a healthy fat replacement to reduce calories and add moisture, applesauce is also a source of fiber and has naturally occurring sugars
  • Coconut Oil: Contains healthy fats, specifically MCTs, which may help support metabolism and energy levels.
