Taking care of your inside-out wellness has never been easier with Lucuma, Camu Camu, and plant-based collagen! Below, we explore three different superfood powders, and why you should be adding them to your self-care shelf.
1. Lucuma Powder | For blood sugar balance & a happy heart
The Lucuma fruit — nicknamed the “Gold of the Incas” — has been used in South America for centuries due to its sweet taste and nutritional benefits! Typically, it’s used in powder-form as a healthier substitute for sugar. Some people say it tastes like sweet potato and butterscotch, so it’s perfect to use in baked goods, smoothies, or anywhere you’d add sweetener.
Consuming Lucuma powder can provide complex carbohydrates and a variety of antioxidants, as well as support blood sugar balance, eye health & heart health - due to its polyphenol content. Here at F&F, we're big on Loving Earth’s Raw Organic Lucuma Powder. Fantastic for adding to your daily smoothie.
2. Camu Camu Powder | Your immune-loving superstar
Camu Camu is another South American superfood! These tart, sour berries are native to the Amazon Rainforest, and are typically found in powder, juice or pill form. With its sweet and sour taste, Camu Camu powder makes a great addition to smoothies, juices, and a variety of desserts. It's extremely rich in Vitamin C, which helps support your immune system and the formation of collagen. In fact, Camu Camu powder can deliver up to 750% of the RDI of Vitamin C per teaspoon (5 grams)!
Camu Camu powder can also support nourished skin health – thanks to its high antioxidant properties, balanced blood sugar levels and a good gut. Our go-to favourite is: Loving Earth Camu Camu Powder.
3. Plant based collagen powder | For healthy skin, hair & nails
Plant-based (vegan) collagen is an effective, cruelty-free alternative for those of us that don’t want to consume animal-derived collagen. Vegan collagen powders typically contain a blend of concentrated, nutrient-dense ingredients — like amino acids, probiotics, vitamins, and antioxidant-rich ingredients — formulated to help support your body’s ability to make collagen.
Just like regular collagen, plant-based collagen is terrific for hair, skin and nail health – as well as bone, muscle and heart health. The Edible Beauty Native Plant-Based Collagen Powder (85g) can be mixed with your fave drinks or brekkie bowls!
We love how simple it is to incorporate these health-supporting goodies into your morning juice or smoothie. Each superfood boasts an impressive variety of benefits for your overall wellbeing. Which ones will you try?
