Health Benefits
The reason I love this recipe is that the look of it almost seems like a dessert. It reminds me of a strawberry cupcake with white icing or ice cream with whipped cream on top. The way I prepared it almost made it seem like a dessert however the ingredients are all healthy.
This was made with sprouted rolled oats. Oats that are sprouted disintegrate antinutrient phytates improving the bioavailabilty of vitamins and nutrients. They’re also higher in magnesium and GABA than raw oats.
Another power house ingredient were the raspberries. Not only do raspberries help with diabetes management, they lower blood pressure, and help to prevent strokes and heart disease. Raspberries also contain vitamin C which helps produce collagen, just one of the ways that this fruit promotes skin health.
