Almonds

People think it's a little nutty when we tell them the first ingredient in our Chocolate Bliss Cake is almonds. But we don't! Almonds are not only a nutritional standout but provide richness and density that ordinary flour-based cakes just can't touch.

And in this day and age of chronic disease and expanding waistlines, almonds are just what the doctor ordered.

Studies show that people who eat the most almonds (and other nuts) tend to have the slimmest waistlines. That's because the cell walls of the almond act as a physical barrier to the absorption of fat in the intestines. And with their "trimming trifecta" of healthy fat, protein and dietary fiber, they cause a feeling of fullness – a big benefit to weight loss.

But the attributes of the almond don't end there. These nuggets of nutrition boast more calcium than any other nut, provide a significant source of magnesium, a healthy amount of vitamin E and more dietary fiber than any other nut or seed.

Because over 65% of the fat in almonds is monounsaturated, these golden morsels help to lower harmful LDL cholesterol and boost healthy HDL cholesterol, two key factors to reduce your risk of heart disease.

And here's one more. Almonds nutritional arsenal also helps to balance blood sugar, benefit diabetes and reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome. Researchers found that diets containing almonds can actually improve glycemic control and help to normalize or reduce impaired fasting glucose (IFG).

Here at Wellness Bakeries, we pack our mixes with delicious, finely milled almonds, producing the buttery goodness you're taste buds will crave and the health benefits your body will thank you for.

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.
