Ingredients

Why choose healthy, high-quality ingredients?

The ingredients we use every day can make a difference to our well-being. That’s why it is important to choose increasingly natural and nutritious alternatives:

• Better nutrient absorption, thanks to the absence of additives and artificial substances;
• Less unnecessary sugar and fat, for a balanced calorie intake;
• More protein and fibre, to support metabolism and promote a feeling of fullness;
• Gluten-free or lactose-free foods, perfect for people with intolerances or following specific diets;
• Authentic and natural flavours, without compromising on quality.

Alternative flours and protein mixes

Not all flours are the same. In addition to classic wheat flour, here you can find more nutritious options with a better carbohydrate and protein profile:

• Oat flour: perfect for pancakes, healthy desserts and protein recipes;
• Almond flour: gluten-free, rich in healthy fats and with a delicate flavour;
• Coconut flour: a low-carb alternative with a unique flavour, perfect for desserts and baked goods;
• Protein mixes for pancakes and desserts: to prepare tasty, high-protein recipes.

Natural and sugar-free sweeteners

If you want to eliminate refined sugar without giving up sweetness, there are many natural alternatives:

• Stevia and erythritol: calorie-free sweeteners, ideal for drinks and recipes;
• Agave and maple syrup: sweet alternatives with a lower glycaemic index than white sugar;
• Coconut sugar: a natural alternative with a rich caramel-like flavour and mineral content.

Plant-based proteins and superfoods

Used to enrich the diet with essential nutrients, these ingredients are ideal for people who exercise or want to follow a more balanced diet:

• Pea, rice and soy proteins: ideal for those looking for complete plant-based protein sources;
• Chia and flax seeds: rich in omega-3, fibre and protein;
• Pure cocoa and carob flour: natural alternatives to chocolate, without added sugars.

Natural oils and dressings

To cook in a healthy way, it is essential to choose high-quality dressings and oils such as:

• Organic extra virgin olive oil: rich in polyphenols and monounsaturated fats;
• Coconut oil: perfect for cooking and protein-based sweet recipes;
• Apple cider vinegar: ideal for digestion and metabolism.

Frequently asked questions

Can alternative flours replace classic flour?

Yes, but some recipes require the quantities to be adjusted because alternative flours have different absorption properties.

Are natural sweeteners better than sugar?

Yes, they have a lower glycaemic impact and can help reduce unnecessary calories without giving up taste.

Can plant-based proteins replace animal proteins?

Yes, when they are properly combined. For example, the combination of pea and rice proteins provides a complete amino acid profile.

Is coconut oil or olive oil better?

It depends on how it is used. Coconut oil is suitable for high-temperature cooking and sweet recipes, while olive oil is ideal for dressing food raw.
