Almonds don't just please your taste buds. They can also protect your heart.
Research conducted at the State University of New York found that consuming a diet moderate in fat, but providing healthy monounsaturated fatty acids offers more benefits to the heart than a diet low in fat.
In this study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, subjects were separated into two groups for weight loss – low fat and moderate fat. Those following the moderate fat diet not only lost weight, but also reduced their triglycerides and LDL or "bad cholesterol", while maintaining levels of heart healthy HDL cholesterol. Those in the low fat group lost weight, too, but their triglycerides rebounded and their HDL levels sank at the end of the study.
Enjoy the heart-healthy benefits of almonds in Wellness Bakeries’ wholesome products – like Chocolate Bliss Cake – featuring a whopping 56 grams of buttery-smooth almond flour in every cake.
The Best Chocolate Cake in the World…
And Every Bite Packed with Almonds!
We think you’ll go nuts for the 100% pure almond flour that gives our Chocolate Bliss Cake an unforgettably moist, buttery texture. But we didn’t start with almonds simply for the taste. Almonds are also chock-full of protein, healthy fats and fiber, which is why our cake provides such a long-lasting feeling of fullness.
And almonds are just the beginning. To learn about the many functional ingredients in our delicious, healthy desserts… and to try a slice for yourself, read our Letter to Dessert Lovers.
