The Perfect Start
Mmmm-macadamias! They pack a hefty punch of health benefits, especially when you eat them at breakfast.
With their buttery flavour and creamy texture, macadamia nuts are a delicious as well as healthy choice. They are rich in monounsaturated fats, which are a heart-healthy type of fat that reduces your risk of cardiovascular disease by lowering total and LDL (‘bad’) cholesterol levels. Macadamias are low in carbohydrates and sugar and deliver a steady release of energy without spiking blood sugar levels, which makes them beneficial for type 2 diabetics. Macadamias provide generous amounts of fibre and protein; together with the monounsaturated fat content, this nutrient
combination will keep you feeling full and satisfied throughout the morning, which can potentially assist weight management by reducing cravings. The fibre in macadamias aids digestion and promotes gut health. They are an excellent choice for people on low-GI, keto or low-sugar diets. However, the real magic happens when you pair macadamias with a low sugar breakfast. Starting the day with a granola that is high in quality fats and protein and low in refined sugars will stabilise your blood sugar levels, without the post-breakfast sugar crash.
