More NFL players, body builders, and runners alike have been adopting plant-based diets lately- and for good reason! The benefits gained from this diet aid them in reaching pique performance. Faster recovery periods, mental clarity, improved stamina, and major muscle gains are all reasons they choose vegan fuel. You don’t have to be a pro athlete to receive the physical health benefits from a vegan diet; by eating this way you can improve your day to day physical performance and endurance for any goal you are trying to achieve. Not just any vegan food makes the cut- these athletes and fitness enthusiasts choose whole food ingredients with minimal processing, maximizing the nutritional benefits per calorie.
Their diets incorporate balanced portions of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, depending on their personal fitness aim. If you are looking to add more of these plant powered foods to your diet, you will find our organic Sprouted Manna Bread and variety of organic Manna Butters to be a great (and delicious) way to do it.
Sprouted Manna Bread is an excellent source of easily digestible whole grains. It might surprise you that Manna Bread is not only a rich source of healthy low-glycemic carbohydrates, but also an excellent source of digestible plant protein. For every 75 grams (approximately one large slice) of Manna Bread you receive about 7 grams of protein. That’s much higher than your average bread slice, even the ‘healthy’ kinds! It is because Sprouted Manna Bread is made with just whole sprouted wheat berries, fruits, nuts, and whole grains. No flour, sugar, yeast, salt, or oils are added, so you are getting pure nutrition without the fillers. In addition, the sprouting process makes all of this great nutrition much easier for your body to assimilate.
Our organic nut butters also make great workout companions! Nuts are known to be high in fat, but these are mostly healthy fats coming from unsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids. Our Sprouted Amaretto Almond Manna Butter is a true super food that makes a great pre or post workout snack. Almonds are high in monounsaturated fats, vitamin E, protein, and magnesium which aid in heart health and muscle recovery after a gym session. Our Sprouted Amaretto Almond Manna Butter has 6 grams of protein per tablespoon, and no added sugar, salt, or oil! And just like Manna Bread, the process of soaking, rinsing, and baking the almonds at low temperatures before grinding them into a creamy nut removes tannins and anti-nutrients, thus making it easy to digest all the benefits.
Try eating a couple tablespoons of Amaretto Almond Manna Butter on a hearty slice of Carrot Raisin Manna Bread after your next workout and you will be well on your way to increased physical stamina!
