Benefits
MEDJOOL DATES
This type of date is one of the healthiest natural sugars. They are rich in important minerals for bone health and in fiber which helps with intestinal transit and regularity.
CASHEW BUTTER
Cashews are rich in minerals, such as zinc and magnesium, crucial for skin and hair health and glow. These minerals also help regulate female hormonal balance.
DARK CHOCOLATE
Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants and stimulates the release of endorphins. Endorphins act as true and real health boosters due to their ability to fight against anxiety, stress, and fatigue.
